Battery Explosion Hazard!

Batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce an explosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. Since hydrogen is generated during the self-discharge process, even when the battery is not in use, make sure to dispose of or handle it in a well-ventilated area.

Always wear proper eye, face, and hand protection.

Keep the battery away from sparks, flames, and cigarettes.

Do not attempt to open a battery without caps.

Keep the caps tightly sealed, except when checking or topping up the electrolyte.

Ensure that the work area is well-ventilated.

Never lean over the battery when starting a vehicle with a dead battery, or while testing or charging.

Be cautious when handling metal tools to avoid short circuits and sparks.
