Follow all manufacturers’ instructions and BCI (Battery Council
International) safety recommendations, which include the
following precautions:
DANGER—RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES: Batteries can pro-
duce 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.

tery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of Cali-

Battery acid is highly corrosive. If acid enters your eyes, im-
mediately flush them thoroughly with cold running water
for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. If bat-
