Warnings:
Batteries generate explosive gas and contain electrolyte, which is made of
sulfuric acid, a highly poisonous and caustic chemical. Whenever working with
batteries always follow these preventative measures:

Wear eye protection, an eye shield or safety glasses with side shields.

Charge batteries in a well ventilated area.

Keep batteries away from sparks or fire, open flames, i.e. welding
equipment, grinding equipment, cigarette smoking etc.

Do not smoke when charging or handling a battery.

Keep batteries and electrolyte out of the reach of children.

Avoid body contact with electrolyte as it can cause severe burns and/or
permanent eye damage.
First Aid in
C
ase of Bodily Contact:

Skin: Wash thoroughly with water

Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and seek immediate medical
attention.
When installing a battery into the UV, always connect the positive terminal first
then the negative terminal. This is to help prevent any type of spark. Reverse this
procedure for removal from the UV.
Charging a Lead Acid Battery
Always use a charger that will charge at a rate of 1/10 the amp hour rating of the
battery. It is also a good idea to use a charger that will not overcharge, or shuts off
when it reaches a full charge.
Higher rates of charge have a chance of warping the plates inside the battery and
diminishing its lifespan. In other words, a quick charge is not good for the battery.
Always remove the battery from the UV prior to charging.
