Battery Fire and Explosion Hazards
There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Automotive Batteries
In operation, batteries generate and release flammable hydrogen gas. They
must always be assumed to contain this gas which, if ignited by burning
cigarette, naked flame or spark, may cause battery explosion with dispersion of
casing fragments and corrosive liquid electrolyte. Carefully follow
manufacturer's instructions for installation and service. Keep away all sources
of gas ignition and do not allow metallic articles to simultaneously contact the
negative and positive terminals of a battery.
Do not allow the positive and negative terminals to short-circuit. The
dynamometer chassis is tied to the negative side of the battery. Do not short
between the positive battery terminal or the starter connections to the chassis.
In addition, make sure metal tools such as screw drivers, wrenches, and torque
wrenches do not come in contact with the negative and positive terminals of
the battery. Short circuiting the terminals of the battery can cause burn
injuries, damage to the dynamometer, or trigger explosions.
Charging
Batteries being charged will generate and release flammable hydrogen gas.
Charging space should be ventilated. Keep battery vent caps in position.
Prohibit smoking and avoid creation of flames and sparks nearby.
Wear protective clothing, eye and face protection, when charging or handling
batteries.
