If the battery temperature exceeds 60°C, check for and promptly handle any
leakage.
Electrolyte overflow may damage the equipment. It will corrode metal parts and
boards, and ultimately damage the boards.
WARNING
When the electrolyte overflows, absorb and neutralize the electrolyte immediately.
When moving or handling a battery whose electrolyte leaks, note that the leaking
electrolyte may hurt human bodies.
If the electrolyte overflows, follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer or
neutralize the electrolyte by using sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO
3
) or sodium
carbonate (Na
2
CO
3
).
Lithium Battery
The safety precautions for lithium batteries are similar to those for lead-acid
batteries except that you also need to note the precautions described in this
section.
WARNING
There is a risk of explosion if a battery is replaced with an incorrect model.
●
A battery can be replaced only with a battery of the same or similar model
recommended by the manufacturer.
●
When handling a lithium battery, do not place it upside down, tilt it, or bump
it with other objects.
●
Keep the lithium battery loop disconnected during installation and
maintenance.
●
When the ambient temperature is lower than the lower limit of the operating
temperature (charge is forbidden at 0°C), do not charge the battery.
Otherwise, a short circuit would occur inside the battery.
●
Do not throw a lithium battery in fire.
●
When maintenance is complete, return the waste lithium battery to the
maintenance office.
