Re: Battery Spill Kit Contents

I'd also recommend an apron and shoe covers. Tyvek-coated polyethelene single-use products should do. Generally the cleanup process for the neutralized material is messy (particularly if you are using loose baking soda as the neutralizing agent) and you really don't want to get any of it on your clothes or shoes.

I work with large quantities of a higher capacity version of this type of battery, and while spills are quite rare, being prepared for immediate action if one occurs is very important.
