Precautions

If battery acid comes in contact with skin or eyes, wash skin immediately with a
mild soap. Flush eyes with water immediately and see a doctor.
When charging batteries, an explosive gas mixture forms in each cell. Part of this gas es-
capes through holes in vent plugs and may form an explosive atmosphere around battery
if ventilation is poor. This explosive gas may remain in or around battery for several hours
after it has been charged. Sparks or flames can ignite this gas and cause an internal ex-
plosion which may shatter the battery.
The following precautions should be observed to prevent an explosion.
