Charging the battery produces gasses that
can explode.
Never smoke near the battery and keep
sparks and flames away from battery.

is especially important to prevent battery
damage when the temperature is below 32°F
(0°C).

amps or 30 minutes at 4-6 amps.
2. When the battery is fully charged, unplug
the charger from the electrical outlet, then
disconnect the charger leads from the battery
posts (Figure 37).
