Reinstall the vent caps BEFORE recharging, recharge ONLY in

well-ventilated areas, and wear protective eye ware (safety
goggle).

Do NOT smoke or cause sparks or flames while the battery is
being recharged because batteries give off explosive gasses.

If your battery is an AGM or a sealed flooded type, do NOT

recharge with current ABOVE 12% of the battery's RC rating (or
20% of the ampere-hour rating).

Gel cells should be charged over a 20-hour period and never
over the manufacturer's recommended level or over 14.1 VDC.

Follow the battery and charger manufacturer's procedures for

connecting and disconnecting cables and other steps to minimize
the possibility of an explosion or incorrectly charging the battery.

You should turn the charger OFF before connecting or
disconnecting cables to a battery.

Do not wiggle the cable clamps while the battery is recharging,
because a spark might occur, and this could cause an
explosion. Good ventilation or a fan is recommended to disperse
the gasses created by the recharging process.

If a battery becomes hot, over 110° F (43.3° C), o r violent

gassing or spewing of electrolyte occurs, turn the charger off
temporarily or reduce the charging rate.

When charging the battery in the car with an external MANUAL

charger, make sure that it will not damage the vehicle's electrical
system or components with high voltages.

Even if this is a remote possibility, it is best to disconnect the
vehicle's battery cables from the battery BEFORE connecting the
charger.
