2.2 - Warnings
High Voltage Risk. Improper use may cause personal injury or death.
Do not use a battery that appears damaged in any way.
All batteries present the risk of shock, use protective measures when
handling. When working with or installing batteries use electrically insulated gloves
and tools. Remove personal metal items such as watches, rings, bracelets, etc.
High voltage connections of batteries (configurations of greater than 36 V DC nominal)
are dangerous. DC voltages over 52 V can stop the adult human heart and a fully
charged 48 V nominal system is over this level. Use appropriate safety measures
including the removal of metal personal items and insulated gloves.
A small risk of spark exists while making electrical connections.
Ensure the installation area is free of explosive gases and liquids.
Ensure the batteries are not installed in confined areas containing explosive
substances. This includes flammable fuel powered machinery, holding tanks, pipe
fittings, and connectors.
In the unlikely event of a fire, when possible first shut off the source of electricity.
Class ABC extinguishers are recommended in close proximity of your power generating
equipment and are best suited for multipurpose fire types such as wood, flammable
liquids, and electrical appliances.
Respiratory irritation may be caused if the battery is punctured or cracked.
Skin contact with a punctured or otherwise open battery can cause irritation.
To avoid risk of shock or fire, ensure all wires are properly sized and in good
condition.
Verify all equipment to be connected to the batteries is turned off before making any
electrical connections.
