• Q: What Precautions Should Be Taken When Handling Car Batteries to Prevent Personal Injury on 2004 Ford Thunderbird?

  A: Personal safety requires preventing explosive gases from batteries so it is essential to avoid putting flames and sparks or lighted substances near the battery. Protect your face and eyes always when performing tasks close to batteries or charging them while ensuring a sufficient airflow. The sulfuric acid in batteries requires individuals to keep them away from children as well as to maintain proper distance from skin exposure and face exposure and clothing exposure. Upon skin or eye exposure to acid fluids you should immediately flush both areas with water for 15 minutes while visiting a doctor. Contact a doctor immediately when acid exposure happens from ingestion. To avoid acid leakage from end walls while lifting a battery it is essential to use either a battery carrier or hold the battery by its corners on opposite sides. The battery removal starts with disconnecting it before executing the sequential steps shown in the provided illustrations for component removal. The correct sequence must be adhered to when removing the generator part of the battery. The installation of the battery requires reversing all steps used during removal.
