Attention.
- Persons under supervision, such as apprentices or trainees, may only work on vehicle batteries under the supervision of professional personnel, such as a mechanic/foreman or electrician/foreman.
- The acid is concentrated. There is a risk that in case of unprofessional handling of batteries, personnel will be exposed to the harmful effects of the electrolyte. Therefore, it is necessary to have suitable means ready to protect against acid burns. A suitable means is, for example, soap lye.
- If battery electrolyte leaks, skin burns, acid attack, and vehicle corrosion may occur. Depending on the circumstances, safety-relevant vehicle parts may be damaged.
- The detonating gas that is generated during charging and partially at rest after the gas is released after recharging is explosive. In extreme cases, the battery may explode due to leaking gases in the case of unprofessional handling.
- Batteries with a colorless or light yellow eye must be replaced. You cannot control, charge, or start the engine with a battery pack from another vehicle. If the engine is monitored, charged, or started with a battery pack from another vehicle, there is a risk of explosion.
- It is prohibited to create sparks by grinding, welding, disassembling, or using open flames, such as smoking, near the battery. It is also necessary to prevent sparking by electrostatic discharge. Therefore, before touching the battery, it is absolutely necessary to touch the car body first.
- Work with batteries should only be done in well-ventilated areas suitable for this activity.
