Land Rover Discovery: Battery warning symbols
Make sure when working near
or handling the battery, suitable
eye protection is worn, to
protect the eyes from acid
splashes.
To prevent risk of injury, do not
allow children near the battery.
Be aware that the battery may
emit explosive gases.
The battery contains acid which
is extremely corrosive and toxic.
Consult the handbook for
information, before handling the
battery.
BATTERY CARE
- If battery electrolyte comes into
contact with your eyes, skin, or
clothes, you should remove the
affected clothing and flush the
skin/eyes with large amounts of
clean water. Seek medical
assistance immediately.
- If swallowed, battery electrolyte
can be fatal, seek medical
assistance immediately.
- The cell plugs and vent pipe must
be in place at all times when the
battery is connected to the
vehicle. Make sure the vent pipe
is clear of obstructions and not
kinked. Failure to do so may cause
a pressure build-up in the battery,
resulting in an explosion.
- Do not expose the battery to a
naked flame or spark as the
battery produces explosive,
flammable gas.
- Never jump start (boost), charge,
or try to start a vehicle with a
frozen battery. Doing so can
result in an explosion.
- Remove all metal jewellery before
working on, or near, the battery,
and never allow metal objects or
vehicle components to come into
contact with the battery
terminals. Metal objects can cause
sparks, and/or short circuits,
resulting in an explosion.
- Do not allow the battery posts or
terminals to come into contact
with your skin. They contain lead
and lead compounds which are
toxic. Always wash your hands
thoroughly after handling the
battery.

Your vehicle is fitted with either an
Absorbed Glass Matt (AGM) (1) battery or
a low maintenance (2) battery.
Note: AGM batteries are sealed for life
and require no maintenance.
Do not attempt to open or remove
the top from an AGM battery.
In hot climates, more frequent checks of
the low maintenance battery electrolyte
level and condition are required. Contact
a Retailer/Authorised Repairer to have the
battery checked.
