Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
Otherwise there is a risk of accidents or
malfunction due to fluid leakage, overheating,
smoke generation, fire, rupture, or electric
shock.
The following points must be strictly observed
when carrying out maintenance work:
• Do not wear electrically conductive items
such as rings, necklaces, or wristwatches
when carrying out work, as these items carry
a risk of short-circuiting or electric shock.
• Maintenance work must be carried out by
skilled personnel who have received the
specified training.
• Insulated tools and protective equipment
must be used when carrying out work.
Inspect the tools and protective equipment
before use to make sure they are not
damaged.
• Stop charging and isolate the charging
circuit before carrying out maintenance
work.
• If any worker receives an electric shock,
helpers must wear insulated protective
equipment to prevent further accidents due
to electric shock.
• If smoke is emitted or fire occurs due to
malfunctioning or incorrect usage,
extinguish any fire and cool down the
battery immediately.
• Do not mix different battery types together
during use. Otherwise there is a risk of
accidents or equipment malfunctions and
failure.
• Do not open the battery output terminal
covers except when carrying out work.
• Be sure to protect the output terminals with
insulators when the battery is removed.
Avoid using or storing the battery under the
following conditions. Otherwise there is a risk
of accidents, malfunction, or failure due to
fluid leakage, overheating, smoke generation,
fire, or electric shock.
• Cold or hot locations at temperatures
outside the operating temperature range of
-20°C to 40°C
• Locations where the humidity exceeds
85%RH
• Locations where condensation may occur
due to sudden temperature fluctuations
• Locations where the battery may be
splashed with water or left standing in water
• Locations subject to strong vibration or
impact
• Dusty locations
• Locations where corrosive gases,
combustible gases, or salt, iron, or oil mists
are present
• Locations in direct sunlight or close to
equipment generating heat
• Locations close to equipment that generates
strong radio waves or magnetic fields
Take care to avoid electrolyte leakage.
If electrolyte leakage is suspected (e.g., if the
exterior is cracked or damaged, bulging or
deformed, discoloured or corroded, or if there
is an acrid smell), move the battery away from
any open flames and stop using it.
If electrolyte leakage occurs, take the
following actions:
• Move the battery away from any open flames
and stop using it. Otherwise there is a risk of
fire.
• Wipe up the leakage immediately wearing
protective clothing, rubber gloves, and
protective glasses. Never touch the leakage
with bare hands.
• If you inhale electrolyte fumes, move
immediately to a location with fresh air,
remain at rest, and seek medical attention.
• If electrolytes splash onto clothing, change
out of the contaminated clothing
immediately.
• If electrolytes come into contact with your
skin, rinse immediately using copious
amounts of soap and water, then seek
medical attention.
• If electrolytes come into contact with your
eyes, do not rub, but rinse immediately
under running water for at least 15 minutes.
Then seek medical attention.
• If you ingest electrolytes, rinse out your
mouth with water immediately, then seek
medical attention.
