Safety
Because of the possibility of personal injury, always use extreme caution when working with
batteries. Follow all manufacturers’ instructions and BCI (Battery Council International) safety
recommendations.
General Precautions
• DANGER—RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES: Batteries can produce a highly explosive mix
of hydrogen gas and oxygen, even when the battery is not in operation. Always work in a
well-ventilated area.
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery.
• WARNING—REQUIRED BY CALIFORNIA PROP. 65: Battery posts, terminals, and
related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands
after handling.
• Battery acid is highly corrosive. If acid enters your eyes, immediately flush them thoroughly
with running cold water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. If battery acid
gets on your skin or clothing, wash immediately with water and baking soda.
• Always wear proper safety glasses or face shield when working with or around
batteries.
• Keep hair, hands, and clothing as well as the analyzer cords and cables away from
