CAUTION! Don’t forget the improved safety and protection of your self, your workers and your equipment when using Discover™ GEL or Advanced AGM products versus standard flooded type batteries!
CAUTION/DANGER:
Lead-acid batteries contain a sulfuric acid electrolyte, which can be poisonous and is highly corrosive. Flooded Lead Acid batteries will produce gasses when discharging and re-charging which can explode! When working with batteries, you need to have plenty of ventilation, remove your jewelry, wear protective eyewear (safety glasses) and clothing, and exercise caution. Do not allow battery electrolyte to mix with salt water. Even small quantities of this combination will produce Chlorine gas that can KILL you!
