The battery will expel explosive
hydrogen gas when overcharged.
A spark or flame can cause the
battery to explode with enough
force to kill or seriously hurt you.
Always use a regulated charger that
provides the correct charging
current to prevent overcharging.
Wear protective clothing and a face
shield, or have a skilled mechanic
perform the battery maintenance.
