A man in his 50's is recovering in the burns unit at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital after a battery exploded in his face at Lemon Tree Passage.
NSW Ambulance says the man was working on the battery on a boat when the explosion occurred at about 2.45pm on Wednesday, leaving him with serious hydrochloric acid burns to his face and chest.
Ambulance Inspector Joel De Zuna says thankfully the man knew to pour water on the area until paramedics arrived.
He was flown to Sydney for further treatment and is now listed in a stable condition.
