I tried to look up your product on google. It occurrs to me that in some parts of the world, batteries are shipped dry, and water and acid is added to them. It seems plausible to me that what you have there is a battery acid solution of sulfuric acid and water which would be added to flooded batteries when shipped dry. I am not certain, but it would account for the warnings and the yellowish color. If you place a drop of it on some baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and it bubbles furiously, you can be pretty sure that it is an acid solution. Use a glass eye dropper, or some other inert tool to get a drop of it out of the container. If you don't have access to baking soda, you could perform the same test on calcium carbonate, which since it is usually found in concrete, could be performed by placing a drop of the substance on a piece of concrete and observing for any bubbling, just wash it off with sufficient water afterwords. Just my thoughts on it anyway, Rich Hagen
