Batteries discharge highly explosive hydrogen gas and can explode and shower you with sulfuric acid if a spark is created near the battery. Batteries can also cause burn injuries when a ring or watch completes a circuit between the positive battery post and the frame of the machine. To prevent injuries always remove all rings and watches and wear safety glasses while work is done on or near the batteries. Use extra caution not to cause sparks near the battery.
