Do not smoke near batteries as these give off explosive gases.
Make sure that metal objects, for example tools, rings and
watch straps, do not come into contact with the battery pole
studs.
Make sure the protections are always installed over the battery
pole studs.
Do not tilt a battery in any direction. Battery electrolyte may leak
out.
Do not connect a discharged battery in series with a fully
charged battery. Risk for explosion.
When removing a battery, disconnect the ground cable first and
when installing, connect the ground cable last in order to
reduce the risk of sparks.
Discarded batteries must be taken care of according to national
environmental requirements.
Charging batteries, see page
