"I'm Mark Blocker on behalf of Expert Village. The vehicle's battery, it's a ventilated system and it breaths, so we have hydro-choleric vapors admitting from the battery. So we need to be extremely careful when connecting jumper cables so that we don't create a spark and cause a potential explosion. Which can cause serious injury to yourself, others or damage to your vehicle. So, when connecting vehicles, you want to make sure that you observe the proper polarity and a proper connection procedure. This is extremely important that this phase is done correctly to prevent injury to yourself and damage to your vehicles. Watch the next segment on checking the battery terminals."
