around batteries.
• Use proper lifting techniques when working with batteries.

for age, type, and date code to ensure all batteries are identical.
• Batteries are sensitive to changes in temperature. Always install
batteries in a stable environment.
• Install batteries in a well-ventilated area. Batteries can produce
explosive gasses. For compartment or enclosure installations,
always vent batteries to the outside.
