During starting assistance or battery charging,
battery gas can be released. #
Always allow a battery tothaw before

clus ter do not light up at low temp eratures, it is
ve ry likely that the dischar ged battery has frozen.
In this case you may neither jump-start theve hi-

The service life of a bat tery that has been thawed
may be dramatically shor tened. The starting char-
