Your battery should be intact with no cracks, and should not visibly leak any battery acid. Do not attempt to jump-start your car if your battery displays signs of these damages, as you may cause injury to yourself or others if you do so. Goggles and gloves will protect your eyes and hands from any sulfuric acid that may eject from the battery.
