spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.
Use this charger for charging LEAD-ACID batteries only. It is not intended to supply 2.4
power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor application. Do
not use this battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with
home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to
property.
NEVER charge a frozen battery.2.5
NEVER overcharge a battery.2.6

clothing or eyes.
