and oxygen gases when being
charged. This potentially explosive
mixture escapes through the fill vent
cell caps and may form an explosive
atmosphere around the battery for
several hours after it has been
charged. Electrical arcing or flames
can ignite the gas and cause an
explosion, which may shatter the
battery and could cause blindness or
other serious injury.

• Be sure all switches are in the OFF
position before connecting to battery
or batteries. Electrical arcing near the
battery could ignite hydrogen gas and
cause the battery to explode.
