During the recharging process,
batteries give off hydrogen gas. Make sure you recharge your battery in
a well ventilated area. |
| * |
Be careful not to spill any battery
acid (electrolyte). If you do, clean it up using an absorbent material. |
| * |
Because of the danger of electrical
arcing, which will ignite hydrogen gas, keep tools and other metal objects
away from the top of uncovered batteries. This includes rings and watches. |
| * |
Batteries, when they are recharging,
produce heat. Be sure to keep the compartment lid open. |

Wear all prescribed safety equipment
