Caution: Batteries generate hydrogen gas, which is extremely flammable and may
explode violently if ignited by a spark or a flame. Battery acid is extremely
corrosive and causes severe personal injury if the acid comes into contact
with the skin, and blindness if the acid comes into contact with the eyes.
In order to avoid severe personal injury, use extreme caution
when servicing the battery or battery-related components.
The maintenance free battery is standard. There are no
vent plugs in the cover. The battery is completely sealed except for two small
vent holes in the side. These vent holes allow the small amount of gas that
is produced in the battery to escape.
The battery has three functions as a major source of energy:
| • | Alternate source of energy with generator overload |
The battery specification label contains information about the following:
| • | The original model number |
| • | The recommended replacement model number |
| • | The cold cranking amps (CCA) |
