I - SAFETY
1 - DANGER: RISK OF ACID WHEN HANDLING AND WHEN MOUNTING IS INCORRECTLY TIGHTENED Sulphuric acid is a highly aggressive and toxic substance which corrodes most metals. When handling batteries, it is very IMPORTANT to take the following precautions:
2 - DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION LINKED TO CHARGING AND TO INCORRECT TIGHTENING OF THE TERMINALS
When a battery is charging, oxygen and hydrogen are produced. Gas formation is at its maximum when the battery is completely charged. The quantity of gas produced is proportional to the intensity of the charging current. The oxygen and hydrogen mix in the free space on the surface of the plates which forms an explosive mixture. This mixture is highly explosive. The smallest of sparks or heat sources can cause an explosion. The explosion is so strong that the battery can shatter and spray the acid into the surrounding atmosphere. People nearby are at risk (exploded fragments, acid splashes). Acid splashes are dangerous. They also damage clothing. Safeguarding against the danger of explosion, which can be caused by handling a battery carelessly, must be taken very seriously.
II - CLEANLINESS Check that there is no salt leakage (sulphation) on the battery terminals. Clean the battery terminals if salt has accumulated. III - GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
When refitting the battery or every time it has been disconnected, carry out some reprogramming without the diagnostic tool, so that the vehicle operates correctly. |
