Precautions when working with vehicle batteries
WARNING: Explosion and fire hazard
- Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.
- Make sure the area around the battery is well-ventilated.
- Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the engine or batteries.
- Be careful not to drop a metal object on the battery or allow a metal tool to simultaneously touch the positive and negative cable ends or battery terminals.
- Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with batteries. Batteries produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or other similar objects to metal, causing a severe burn.
- If you need to remove a battery, always remove the negative terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off to prevent causing a spark.
- Someone should be within range of your voice, or close enough to come to your aid when you work near batteries.
- Have plenty of fresh water, soap and a supply of baking soda on hand in the area of the batteries in case of contact with battery acid. Baking soda neutralizes lead acid battery electrolytes.
