Maintenance
If
you need to connect
the
battery to
a charger, disconnect both cables to
prevent damage to
the
car's
electrical system.
The battery gives off explosive
hydrogen gas during normal
operation.
A spark
or
flame can cause the
battery to
explode with enough
force to
kill
or
seriously hurt you.
Wear protective
clothing and a
face
shield, or have a skilled
mechanic do the battery
maintenance.
