2.2 Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and
watches when working with a lead-acid or lithium ion battery. These batteries can
produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal,
causing a severe burn.
2.3 Be extra cautious, to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might
spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.
