SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Although all valve-regulated batteries have the elec-
trolyte immobilized within the cell, the electrical hazard
associated with batteries still exists. Work performed on
these batteries should be done with the tools and the
protective equipment listed below. Valve-regulated
battery installations should be supervised by personnel
familiar with batteries and battery safety precautions.
Protective Equipment
To assure safe battery handling, installation and
maintenance, the following protective equipment
should be available:
1. Safety glasses or face shields
2. Acid-resistant gloves
3. Protective aprons
4. Lifting devices
5. Use only insulated tools.
Procedures
The following safety procedures should be followed
during installation: (Always wear safety glasses or
face shield.)
1. Adequately secure battery racks or cabinet
enclosures to the floor.
2. Connect support structures to ground system in
accordance with applicable codes.
3. Inspect all flooring and lifting equipment for functional
adequacy. Specifically review floor loading capacity.
4 Prohibit smoking and open flames, and avoid
arcing in the immediate vicinity of the battery.
5. Keep the top of the battery clear of all tools
and other foreign objects.
6. Provide adequate ventilation and follow
recommended charging voltages.
7. Avoid wearing metallic objects such as
jewelry while working on the battery.
8. Never remove or tamper with the pressure relief valves.
9. These batteries are sealed and contain no free
electrolyte. Under normal operating conditions they
do not present any acid danger. However, if the
battery case or cover is damaged, acid could be
present. Sulfuric acid is harmful to the skin and
eyes. Flush affected area with water immediately
and consult a physician if splashed in the eyes.
10. Extinguishing media: Class ABC extinguisher
