8.2 Replacement and Disposal of Batteries
1) Before disposing of batteries, remove conductive jewelry such
as necklace, wrist watches and rings.
2) If it is necessary to replace any connection cables, please
purchase the original materials from the authorized distributors
or service centres, so as to avoid overheat or spark resulting in
fire due to insufficient capacity.
3) Do not dispose of batteries or battery packs in a fire, they may
explode.
4) Do not open or mutilate batteries, released electrolyte is highly
poisonous and harmful to the skin and eyes.
5) Do not short the positive and negative of the battery electrode,
otherwise, it may result in electric shock or fire.
6) Make sure that there is no voltage before touching the batteries.
The battery circuit is not isolated from the input potential circuit.
There may be hazardous voltage between the battery terminals
and the ground.
7) Even though the input breaker is disconnected, the
components inside the UPS are still connected to the batteries,
and there are potentially hazardous voltages. Therefore, before
any maintenance and repair work is carried out, switch off the
breaker of the battery pack or disconnect the jumper wire
connecting the batteries.
8) Batteries contain hazardous voltage and current. Battery
maintenance such as the battery replacement must be carried
out by qualified personnel. No other persons should handle the
batteries.
