CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic. The following
precautions should be observed when working on batteries: Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently
grounded, remove the source from ground connection. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The
likelihood of such a shock can be reduced if grounds are removed during installation and maintenance. (This is applicable to
equipment and remote battery supplies that do not have a grounded supply circuit.)
