9. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the grounded terminal from the battery first. Make sure all 
accessories are off so you don’t cause a spark. 
10. Always use identical types of batteries. 
11. Never install old or untested batteries. Check each battery’s date code or label to ensure age and type. 
12. Batteries are temperature sensitive. For optimum performance, the should be installed in a stable 
temperature environment. 
13. Always recycle old batteries. Contact your local recycling center for proper disposal information.
