Install the solar charger kit in a location where it is out of reach of children. 

The solar charger kit contains sealed lead-acid batteries that must be 
disposed of properly at the end of their useful life.

During charging and discharging cycles the lead-acid batteries may 
release explosive gases.  Ensure that the area around the batteries is 
well ventilated. 

Take care not to allow any metal objects to make contact with the 
positive and negative terminals. This will short circuit the battery 
causing sparks and possible damage to the battery, the solar 
charger module, or even cause an explosion.

Wear appropriate protective clothing and avoid touching 
your eyes after working with batteries.
