In addition to organizing a suitable area for charging the batteries, you should always keep in mind the following:

• Smoking in the charging area is not only forbidden but also dangerous.

• Wearing metal jewelry poses a risk of short circuit when servicing batteries.

• The batteries are heavy and should only be moved with appropriate equipment.

• Wearing protective equipment is mandatory. These include goggles or face mask, gloves, apron.

• The brake of the machine must be applied before charging, removing or installing the battery.

• Check the battery passport for the maximum current you can charge the batteries with. Exceeding it can lead to overheating or more serious consequences if the battery is without vents.

• If the battery becomes too hot or electrolyte leaks from the vents, unplug the charger immediately. After the battery has cooled down, you can resume the charging process at a lower mode.

• Recycle or follow local procedures for disposing of batteries after thier useful life is over, as they contain harmful substances and should not be disposed of with normal waste.

• It is good practice to keep a log of water replenishment, cleaning, inspections and other battery maintenance.
