1.0 Introduction
Standby batteries are generally used to support equipment that needs continuous, reliable service even when the
grid supply has failed.
To ensure optimum performance and longest life, lead-acid batteries require good maintenance practices. In
addition, basic electrical and chemical safety precautions must be taken to protect personnel and equipment.
The scope of this document is to supply the necessary instructions to correctly store, handle, install, use and
maintain Eternacell (B)LSe batteries.
2.0 Recommendations
Carefully read this entire manual upon receipt before installing or operating the battery.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY CAUSE INJURY TO PEOPLE AND
DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT OR THE BATTERY ITSELF.
Keep this manual in close proximity to the battery and easily accessible to personnel working on or near the
battery.
3.0 Safety Rules
When handled correctly, batteries are safe. However, there are some basic precautions that must be observed at
all times to protect personnel and the environment.
Batteries produce explosive gasses.
They contain diluted sulfuric acid (electrolyte) which is a corrosive substance. When handling and working with
electrolyte always use protective clothing and equipment such as rubber gloves and goggles. If acid is spilled on
the skin, wash immediately with copious amounts of clean water, then cover with dry gauze. If acid comes into
contact with the eyes, flush with clean water for at least 15 minutes. In all cases, obtain immediate medical
attention.
Exposed metal parts of the battery always carry a voltage and are electrically live with the risk of short circuits.
Avoid electrostatic discharge. Before starting work on the battery, discharge any static electricity buildup.
Wearing anti-static boots or wristbands is a good way to avoid static altogether.
Always take the following precautions:
•
Keep batteries upright.
•
Use insulated tools.
•
DO NOT place or drop metal objects on top of the battery.
•
DO NOT wear watches, rings or other jewelry. Remove any articles of clothing with metal parts that might
come in contact with the battery terminals.
•
DO NOT smoke and DO NOT use open flames or create electric sparks.
•
Make sure that first aid kits and fire extinguishers are easily accessible.
•
Make sure that water facilities are available in case of accidental contact with acid occurs.
•
Have neutralizing products easily accessible in case of spillage.
Used batteries contain hazardous and recyclable materials. They must not be
disposed with normal waste. Methods of return and recycling must conform to the
federal, state and local regulations in operation at the site where battery is located.
