Safety precautions working with batteries
Lead acid batteries with liquid electrolyte produce a highly explosive gas during normal
operation. No source of spark or of fire should be present in the closeness of the batteries. The
batteries must be installed in a well-ventilated space and mounted so as to avoid accidental short
circuits while connecting them.
Never charge frozen batteries!
During any work on batteries, a second person must be present in case a problem occurs that
requires assistance. There should be within reach enough fresh water and soap for an immediate
washing of the skin or the eyes in case of accidental contact with acid. Should it happen, they
must be washed carefully during at least 15 minutes with cold water. It is then necessary to
immediately consult a doctor.
