Battery Safety
• Never test or charge batteries without wearing wraparound safety glasses and protecting your skin from battery acid. Battery acid is extremely caustic. It can burn you and blind you.
• Always keep a first aid kit and eye wash solution handy at all times. If eye wash solution is not available, flush any battery acid that enters the eye(s) with clean water. Do so immediately! Seconds are precious.
• Never smoke near a battery. Batteries give off explosive gasses, especially when charging.
• Turn off a battery charger before disconnecting the charger clamps from the battery posts. If the charger is still on when you remove the clamps, you may create a spark that ignites the battery gases.
• Never pound on a battery. It is a battery, not an anvil.
• Do not add electrolyte to a battery after it is in service. If the acid level in a removable cap battery is low, add only distilled water. Do not overfill the cells.
• Properly dispose of batteries and battery acid. Batteries are among the most recycled of all products. Battery contents and acid pose significant health hazards and are environmentally harmful. They must be disposed of according to federal, state, and local regulations. Failure to do so is illegal, dangerous, and just plain stupid.
First Aid Tips:
• Check your eye wash station and first aid kit before you need them.
• Make sure your first aid supplies and eyewash are fresh and ready to go in an instant.
• If eye wash solution is not available, flush any battery acid that enters the eye(s) with clean water. Do so immediately! Seconds are precious.
Visual Inspections
Perform a thorough preliminary inspection of your battery.
Check for:
• Loose/corroded battery terminals. Replace temporary terminal ends with permanent cable ends.
• Replace batteries that have loose posts.
• Replace broken or damaged cables.
• Replace batteries with severely bloated, cracked, or leaking cases.
• Plan on replacing frozen batteries. Few frozen batteries survive.
• Replace missing battery caps.
• Add distilled water to cells that are low on electrolyte in removable cap batteries. Rule of thumb: cover the cells with 1/2 inch of water. Do not overfill the cells, especially in a cold battery: the electrolyte level will rise when battery temperature increases. Recharge the battery if necessary.
• Replace a sealed top battery that has one or more cells with a low electrolyte level. Some sealed tops have translucent battery cases that allow you to see the electrolyte level. Never attempt to open a sealed top or alter the case by drilling or cutting.
• Repair, replace, or tighten loose or damaged battery hold downs. This is a very important and often overlooked aspect of battery service. A loose battery is more apt to sustain internal damage from vibration and impact than one that is properly secured to the battery tray.
Battery Charging Checklist & Quick Tips
Battery Charging Checklist
• Put away your flammable objects. Anything that might cause flame or sparks near the battery are very dangerous. Battery gasses are highly explosive.
• Check the battery case for signs of damage. If the case is cracked or severely warped or bulged, it is not safe to charge and/or test. If the battery is frozen, get a new one. Frozen batteries seldom recover and can explode when charged. NEVER CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY!
• Check and correct the battery electrolyte level. If the electrolyte in a cold battery just barely covers the cells, add nothing. The electrolyte level will rise as the battery warms during charging.
• If the electrolyte level is low enough to expose plate material, add just enough water to cover the cells. If you can see that the electrolyte level is below the tops of the cell material through the translucent case of a sealed battery, replace the battery. There is no approved method for adding water to a sealed battery.
• Check the battery vents to be sure they aren’t clogged with debris. All batteries gas as they charge, and the gas needs to escape gradually through the vents. Leave the battery caps in place to prevent acid from bubbling over to the battery exterior. If the top of the battery has become “wet” enough from this spray, the electrolyte may create a conductive path between the posts that increases self-discharge.
Charging Quick Tips
• Determine the battery rating and state of charge before selecting a charge rate. Refer to the battery charger documentation.
• Connect the charger to the battery before turning it on.
• Turn the battery charger off before disconnecting it from the battery.
• A slow charge is better for the battery than a fast charge.
• Don’t let the battery get too hot. Cut back the charging rate if the battery case gets hotter than 125 degrees F.
• If there is excessive gassing or bubbling, stop charging immediately.
• Use lead adapters, not steel bolts, for side terminal battery charger connections. Lead adapters are much more conductive.
Jump Starting
Jump Starting
A vehicle with a battery that is too discharged to operate the starter may be jump started in an emergency. Jump starting connects a charged battery in parallel with the discharged battery to provide enough power to start the engine.
Whenever possible, a safer alternative to jump starting is to remove the battery from the vehicle for charging and testing. This reduces the chances of personal injury or vehicle damage associated with the jump starting procedures.
• Jump starting a vehicle is a potentially dangerous procedure. Battery gases are explosive. Gloves, protective clothing, and goggles should always be worn when jump starting a vehicle.
• Never smoke or create a spark that could ignite explosive battery gases.
• Never make the final cable connection at the battery, it may create a spark.
• Make sure the dead battery is not frozen. Do not attempt to jump start a frozen battery. It could explode.
