Keep all
flames
and sparks
away from open lead-acid battery
cells because hydrogen gas is
produced from open lead-acid battery
cells while charging the lead-acid
battery or adding lead-acid battery
fluid:
Flames and sparks near open lead-acid
battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen
gas, produced during normal lead-acid
battery operation, could ignite and
cause the lead-acid battery to explode.
An exploding lead-acid battery can
cause serious burns and injuries. Keep
all
flames
including cigarettes and
sparks away from open lead-acid
battery cells.
NOTE
Before performing lead-acid battery
maintenance, remove the lead-acid
battery cover.
