CAUTION:
Danger when charging battery.
An explosive gas is being formed during charging of the
battery. Cigarettes and open flames are prohibited! Only
charge the battery in a well-ventilated area.
When handling batteries:
•
Avoid skin contact with battery fluid. Wear protective
clothing, such as safety glasses and gloves. The liquid is a highly corrosive
acid. Upon contact, wash immediately with soap and water.
• In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with running water for at least
10 minutes and immediately get medical attention. Provide sufficient water and
soap and make sure there is assistance in vocal range when performing work.
• Prevent shorting (sparking), ensure that no electrical connection between the
battery poles is made. Make sure that no metal objects touch the battery, caus-
ing a spark or short circuit with the possible consequence of explosion.
• Any conductor (metal) contacting both poles will get extremely hot. Remove
personal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when han-
dling batteries.
