Because
of the dangers inherent with jump starting a car battery, we highly
recommend using jumper cables specifically designed to help eliminate the
possibility of an explosion.
CAUTION:
Lead acid batteries generate
explosive hydrogen gases. Keep sparks, flames, and lighted cigarettes away from the area.
Cables should only be connected to batteries with the same voltage ratings. That is...
both batteries should either be 6-volt or 12 volt batteries. If for any reason acid
contacts eyes, skin, or clothing, FLUSH immediately with large amounts of water. In case
of eye contact, see a physician immediately.
Note: If the battery is
cracked or appears to be leaking fluids... it's time for a new battery. Be
careful as the fluid coming out of the vehicles battery can cause damage to
you and or your car/truck. |
