Lead-acid batteries contain dangerous voltages, currents, and corrosive material. Battery
installation, maintenance, service, and replacement must only be performed by authorized
personnel.
WARNING!
Battery Maintenance Guidelines
• For optimal performance, inspect batteries every 3 months for:
Signs of battery cracking, leaking or swelling.
The battery should be replaced immediately
by authorized personnel using a battery of the identical type and rating
(match conductance,
voltages, and date codes as specified in this document)
.
Signs of battery cable damage.
Battery cable should be replaced immediately by
authorized personnel using replacement parts specified by vendor.
Loose battery connection hardware
. Refer to documentation for the correct torque and
connection hardware for the application.
• Do not attempt to remove the vents (valves) from the AlphaCell GelCell battery or add water. This is a
safety hazard and voids the warranty.
• Apply NO-Ox grease on all exposed connections.
• When necessary, clean up any spilled electrolyte in accordance with all federal, state, and local
regulations or codes.
• Follow approved storage instructions.
• Always replace batteries with those of an identical type and rating. Never install untested batteries.
• Do not charge batteries in a sealed container. Each individual battery should have at least 1/2 inch of
space between it and all surrounding surfaces to allow for convection cooling.
• All battery compartments must have adequate ventilation to prevent an accumulation of potentially
dangerous gas. Never place batteries in a sealed enclosure . Extreme caution should be used when
maintaining and collecting data on the battery system.
Recycling and Disposal Instructions
• Spent or damaged batteries are considered environmentally unsafe as they contain lead and dilute
sulfuric acid. They should not be "thrown away" with common refuse.
• Always recycle used batteries in accordance with federal, state, provincial, and local regulations. The
Alpha Group provides recycling services. Call 800 863 3930 or contact your local Alpha representative.
