lights.
• Avoid getting battery fluid (electrolyte) on your skin or clothes. It is acidic and can cause

SAFETY & WARNINGS
For batteries with cell caps (maintenance required)
• Remove the battery from your car to avoid possible damage to the alternating
current generator.
• To avoid damage to the car body from possible battery fluid spills, it is advisable to
completely dismantle the battery.
• Remove the covering caps from the battery cells and only replace them after the
charging procedure, so that any gases which build up during the charging procedure
can dissipate. It is unavoidable that some acid will spill during the charging
procedure.
• Check that the level of liquid in each battery cell is above the recommended filling
mark. If not, then the cell must be filled up with ionised or distilled water.
For batteries without cell caps (maintenance not required)
When charging batteries without cell caps, carefully follow the battery manufacturer’s
instructions.
