WARNING AND SECURITY RULES
Familiarize personnel with battery installation, charging and maintenance procedures. Display
operating instructions visibly near the battery system. Restrict access to battery area, permitting
only trained personnel, to reduce the possibility of injury.
Batteries are extremely heavy. Exercise care when handling batteries. When lifting use
appropriate mechanical equipment to safely handle batteries and avoid injury to personnel.
Prohibit smoking. Keep away flames and sparks of all kinds from the vicinity of storage batteries
as liberated or entrapped hydrogen gas in the cells may be exploded, causing injury to personnel
and/or damage to cells.
Wear rubber apron, gloves and safety goggles (or face shield) when handling, installing, or
working on batteries. This will help to prevent injury due to splashing or spillage of sulfuric acid.
Observe all accident prevention rules.
Wash all acid splashes in eyes or on skin with plenty of clean water and seek immediate medical
assistance. Acid splashes on clothing should be washed out with water. Acid on skin or clothing
should also be immediately neutralized with a solution of baking soda and water.
Electrolyte is highly corrosive. Promptly neutralize and remove any electrolyte spilled when
handling or installing cells. Use a baking soda/water solution (1 lb. per gallon of water) to prevent
possible injury to personnel.
Explosion and fire risk. Avoid short-circuits. Never place metal tools on top of cells since sparks
due to shorting across cell terminals may result in an explosion of hydrogen gas in or near the
cells. Insulate tool handles to protect against shorting. Prior to making contact with the cell,
discharge static electricity by touching a grounded surface.
Dangerous voltage. Whenever possible, when making repairs to charging equipment and/or
batteries, interrupt AC & DC circuits to reduce the possibility of injury to personnel and damage
to system equipment. This is particularly important with high voltage systems (110 volts and
above).
Recycle and Dispose of Used Batteries
Used batteries contain valuable recyclable materials. They must NOT be disposed of with domestic
waste. Modes of return and recycling shall conform to the prevailing regulations in operation at
the site where the battery system is located.
