CAUTIONS
1. BATTERY MAINTENANCE INSTALLATION CAUTIONS
Initial preparation before installation:-
Verify no abnormalities on battery case (like crack or leakage)
Free air space must be provided between each battery. Recommended minimum space is 5~10mm
(0.02~0.04 inches).
Set the batteries firmly in the equipment. Otherwise, batteries may be damaged, or connection
conductivity may be decreased due to shock. When batteries are used in vibration conditions, they
shall be mounted in upright position and with proper cushion for protecting vibration.
Avoid mixed usage of batteries differing in capacity, manufacturer, storage or charge/discharge
conditions. Batteries may be damaged after cycles due to difference in electrical characteristics.
2. REGULAR CHECK AND REPLACE PRECAUTIONS
Measure the total voltage of the batteries during float charge to see whether there is any abnormal
deviation and investigate the situation.
TRANSPORTATION PRECAUTIONS
Handle the batteries carefully to avoid injuries.
Avoid moisture or rain on the batteries and cartons.
Transport the batteries in the upright position and avoid abnormally strong shock / vibration.
Do not lift a battery by its terminal. Otherwise, internal construction may be damaged and leakage
may occur.
3. OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Clean battery with wet soft cloth. Never apply oil, polyvinyl chloride or organic solvents (like gasoline
and paint thinner) to the battery. Otherwise, battery cover may be cracked / deform and acid leakage
will result.
Do not disassemble the battery. Otherwise, sulphuric acid will flow out.
If sulphuric acid deposit on to skin or cloth, wash immediately with water. If splashed into eyes, wash
with a large amount of water and consult medical physician immediately.
Avoid dusting by cloth duster or dry cloth (particularly chemical textile), as they will generate static
electricity which is dangerous.
Wash your hands after handling battery.
Do not short the battery terminals.
Never dispose battery into fire.
