0.2 Safety Instructions for the Work with Lead Acid Batteries
There might be danger due to battery voltage. In case of a short circuit, extremely high cur-
rents can flow.
Risk of explosion and fire due to oxyhydrogen.
Filled lead acid batteries contain explosive oxyhydrogen (hydrogen/air mixture). Never smoke,
handle open flames or create sparks in the direct vicinity of batteries. Avoid electrostatic
discharges at all cost; therefore, wear cotton clothes and ground yourself if necessary.
Danger!
Take off watches, rings, necklaces, jewellery and other metal items when working with batteries.
Use only insulated tools.
Wear suitable protective clothes and safety boots (also see
chap. 1.3
).
Danger!
Never deposit tools or metal parts on batteries!
You have to wear protective goggles when working with batteries! Wear the provided personal
protective equipment when working with batteries!
Never clean batteries using a duster or dry cloth made of synthetic fibre. Risk of electrostatic
charging and oxyhydrogen explosion! For cleaning, we recommend water-dampened cotton cloths
(without plastic components).
0.1 General Safety Instructions
Danger!
The improper use of the products described here can lead to personal or material damage.
In case of improper use, HOPPECKE assumes neither responsibility nor liability for direct or
indirect personal and material damage caused by the handling of the products described herein.
Risk of explosion and fire, avoid short circuits!
Attention! Metal parts of the battery (batteries) are always energized. Therefore, do not deposit
items or tools on the battery (batteries)!
Electrolyte is highly corrosive! During normal operation, contact with the electrolyte is impossi-
ble. If the housing is destroyed, the released bonded electrolyte is just as corrosive as liquid
electrolyte.
Leaking electrolyte is harmful to eyes and skin!
Attention!
Without proper and regular maintenance of the batteries by HOPPECKE specialist personnel (or
personnel authorised by HOPPECKE), the safety and reliability of the power supply might not be
ensured in case of emergency.
Danger!
Work on batteries, in particular their installation and maintenance, may only be carried out by
trained HOPPECKE specialists (or personnel authorised by HOPPECKE) who are familiar with the
handling of batteries and who know the required precautions.
Never clean batteries using a duster or dry cloth made of synthetic fibre. Risk of electrostatic
charging and oxyhydrogen explosion! For cleaning, we recommend wet cotton cloths (without
plastic components).
