Charging Car Batteries
It’s nearly impossible to avoid fully draining your battery even if you exercise full precautions to prevent it. You can even drain your car battery when you forget to turn off your headlights, or when your alternator is broken, your battery is old, or your battery’s terminals are full of gunk. When your battery is out, you have no choice but to charge it. But before you do, remember these safety precautions when charging car batteries. Do not light anything and avoid creating sparks near a charging battery. You must also keep the batteries well ventilated while charging to disperse the flammable hydrogen gas.
