Charging:
There is a possible risk of electric shock from charging equipment and from strings of series connected
batteries, whether or not being charged. Shut -off power to chargers whenever not i
n use and before
detachment of any circuit connections. Batteries being charged
may
generate and release flammable
hydrogen gas. Charging space should be ventilated. Prohibit smoking and avoid creation of flames and
sparks nearby. Wear face and eye protection when near batteries being charged.
Other
Follow Manufacturers Recommendations regarding maximum recommended currents and operating
temperature range. Do not overcharge beyond the recommended upper charging voltage limit. Applying
pressure or deforming the battery may lead to disassembly followed by eye, skin and throat irritation.
