Battery-Gas
Warning~Since
normal
battery or Energizer chemical action
generates hydrogen gas which is ex-
plosive when mixed with air, never
expose the battery to an open flame or
electric spark. Also, avoid getting
battery fluid, which is a sulfuric acid
solution, on skin, on clothing or other
fabric, or on painted surfaces. Eye
protection should be worn while work-
ing on the battery for any reason. For
maximum wattage requirements
specify a Delco Energizer at replaCe-
ment time.
