Personal Precautions

Risk of explosive gases. 

Never smoke or allow a spark 

or flame in the vicinity of a 

battery.

Batteries can produce a highly 

explosive mix of hydrogen gas 

and oxygen, even when the bat-

tery is not in operation. Always 

work in a well-ventilated area.

Wash hands after handling.
----------------------------------------------------

REQUIRED BY CALIFORNIA PROP. 65: 

Battery posts, terminals, and related acces-

sories contain lead and lead compounds, 

chemicals known to the state of California 

to cause cancer and birth defects or other 

reproductive harm.

Inspect the battery for damage and check the electrolyte level. If the electrolyte level is too 

low, replenish it and fully charge the battery. Always use the necessary safety precautions when 

working with batteries to prevent severe injury or death. Follow all manufacturers’ instructions 

and BCI (Battery Council International) safety recommendations, which include the following 

precautions:

 

9

Battery acid is highly corrosive. If acid enters your eyes, immediately flush them thoroughly 

with cold running water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. If battery acid 

gets on your skin or clothing, wash immediately with a mixture of water and baking soda.

 

9

Always wear proper safety glasses or face shield when working with or around batteries.

 

9

Keep hair, hands, and clothing as well as the analyzer cords and cables away from moving 

engine parts.

 

9

Remove any jewelry or watches before you start servicing the battery.

 

9

Use caution when working with metallic tools to prevent sparks or short circuits.

 

9

Never lean over a battery when testing, charging, or jump starting.
