Safe handling tips

Why should sparks and flames be kept away from batteries?

Lead acid batteries can release flammable gases. Keeping sparks and open flames away reduces the risk of ignition.

Can I short-circuit a wet cell battery?

No. Short-circuiting can cause overheating, damage, or even explosion. Always avoid direct contact between terminals.

Do I need protective eyewear?

Yes. Wearing safety glasses helps protect your eyes from accidental splashes or sparks when handling batteries.

Why should I keep water nearby?

Clean water can be used to rinse off accidental spills or contact with battery acid.
