Your dead battery is probably not an issue. But they tell you that because the people writing the manual want to cover all the bases. If there is something else wrong with the car, the battery isn't dead and has recently been charging, it good be venting hydrogen sulfide gas. If you make a spark inside the cloud of H2S gas, it will light off. This is a bad thing because that stuff has a lot of energy.
