and is contained within the positive and negative ter-
minals as well as within the battery's internal grid-
work of plates and active materials.
Explosive gases are generated when batteries are
re-charged, so sparks, flames and heat sources
should be avoided. Loose connections at the battery
terminals can produce sprks and heat...connections
to the terminals must be kept tight, and the terminals
and battery surfaces kept clean of acids and corro-
sion. If batteries are re-charged or "jumped" from
external sources, make sure that the connections are
made properly and in the correct sequence...connect
to the positive terminal of the good battery first, then
connect that to the positive terminal of the weak bat-
tery. The third connection should be to the negative
terminal of the good battery, followed by the negative
terminal of the weak battery. If sparks are observed
or heating of the wiring or connectors is detected,
disconnect in reverse order (I.E., the negative termi-
nal of the weak battery first). Batteries should be re-
charged at a constant voltage...generally 14.5 +/- 0.5
volts DC for a nominal 12 volt DC battery.
