Lead-acid battery gases can explode. Do not smoke, have
open flames, or make sparks around a battery, especially
if the caps are off. If a battery is gassing, it can explode
and cause injury to you.
If acid contacts the eyes, skin, or clothing, flush immedi-
ately with large amounts of cold water. Also, in case of
eye or skin contact, see a physician immediately.
