WARNING: The battery contains corrosive materials. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes, or clothing. In the event of contact, flush with water and call a physician immediately. Keep out of the reach of children.

A battery that will not accept a charge is inoperative, and must be replaced. Further testing is not required. A fully-charged battery must be tested to determine its cranking capacity. A battery that is fully-charged, but does not pass the OTC One Step or load test, is inoperative and must be replaced.
