near a lead-acid battery.
2.2 Have plenty of fresh water and soap
nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
2.3 Wear complete eye protection and
clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes
while working near battery.
2.4 If battery acid contacts skin or clothing,

lead-acid battery can produce a short-
circuit current high enough to weld a ring
or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
2.8 Use the charger for charging only 6V and
12V LEAD-ACID (STD, GEL or AGM)
rechargeable batteries with recommended
rated capacities of 24Ah (6V) and 12-59Ah
