immediately.
2.5
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or

It might spark or short-circuit battery or other electrical part that may
cause explosion.
2.7
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and
watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery
can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the
like to metal, causing a severe burn.
2.8
NEVER charge a frozen battery.
2.9
If necessary to remove battery from vessel, always remove grounded
terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vessels
are off, so as not to cause an fire.

Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in
contact with eyes.
2.12
Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions such as
removing or not removing cell caps while charging and
recommended rates of charge.
2.13
Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level
specified by battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas
from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully
follow manufacturer's recharging instructions.
