BATTERY CHARGING AND MAINTENANCE
Safety
Always observe the following warnings when working on or near batteries.
To prevent battery explosion that could result in severe personal injury or death, keep all
smoking materials, open flames or sparks away from the batteries.
Hydrogen gas is formed when charging batteries. Do not charge batteries without adequate
ventilation. A 4% concentration of hydrogen gas is explosive.
Be sure that the key switch is off and all electrical accessories are turned off before starting
work on the vehicle.
Never disconnect a circuit under load at a battery terminal.
Batteries are heavy. Use proper lifting techniques when moving them.
Always lift the battery with a commercially available battery lifting device.
Use care not to tip batteries when removing or installing them; spilled
electrolyte can cause burns and damage.
The electrolyte in a storage battery is an acid solution which can cause
severe burns to the skin and eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to the body
and eyes with extended flushing with clear water. Contact a physician
immediately.
Always wear a safety shield or approved safety goggles when adding water
or charging batteries.
Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized with a solution of 1/4 cup (60 ml)
sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1 1/2 gallons (6 liters) of
water and flushed with water.
Overfilling batteries may result in electrolyte being spilled from the battery
during the charge cycle. Expelled electrolyte may cause damage to the vehi-
cle and storage facility.
Aerosol containers of battery terminal protectant must be used with extreme care. Insulate
metal container to prevent can from contacting battery terminals which could result in an
explosion.
