Charging the Battery
During charging, batteries produce gases which can
explode if ignited. Explosion can shatter a battery.
Battery acid can cause severe personal injury such as
blindness. Keep flame, spark and smoking materials
away from battery while charging. Charge battery in a
well ventilated area.
Batteries produce hydrogen and oxygen gases when they
are being charged. These explosive gases escape through
the vent/fill caps and may form an explosive atmosphere
around the battery if ventilation is poor. This gas may
remain around the battery for several hours after charging.
Sparks or flame can ignite the gas and cause an
explosion. To avoid explosions, do not use jumper cables
and a booster battery to start the engine. In particular,
check to see whether any switches or lights were left on. If
the starting battery is discharged, remove the battery and
recharge it ashore. If your battery is discharged to the point
that it will not start the engine, determine the cause of the
dead battery. In particular, check to see whether any
switches or lights were left on.
