VENTILATION

Hydrogen gas is generated in the charging cycle of batteries and is explosive in concentrations as low as 4%.
Because hydrogen gas is lighter than air, it will collect in the ceiling of buildings necessitating proper ventilation. Five
air exchanges per hour is considered the minimum requirement.
Never charge a vehicle in an area that is subject to flame or spark. Pay particular attention to natural gas or propane
gas water heaters and furnaces.
Use a dedicated circuit for each battery charger. Do not permit other appliances to be plugged into the receptacle
when the charger is in operation.
Chargers must be installed and operated in accordance with charger manufacturers recommendations or applicable
electrical code (whichever is more restrictive).
