4 - 6 Safety

Battery Gases
Lead-acid batteries produce hydrogen gas even under normal charging
and open circuit conditions. Boost charging or abnormal conditions,
such as high temperature, abnormal charging, shorted cells, etc., can
produce greater amounts of gas. If not permitted to escape, this gas can
build up to explosive concentrations.
• Make sure the area is properly ventilated before performing any
work. If working around or with batteries in an area that may not
have sufficient air movement, provide more air movement (for
example, by using a portable fan placed at a safe distance from the
batteries).
• ALWAYS place batteries in a well-ventilated area.
• NEVER place batteries in a sealed enclosure.
• Since gas generated by batteries is explosive, avoid any activity that
could ignite the gas (especially in the area of the vents). Some
examples of possible ignition sources that must be avoided include:
sparks (including those from static electricity or from making/
breaking electrical connections), open flame, smoking, and any
tools/appliances that may generate sparks, e.g., motors.
• Before performing any work operation, follow proper ESD
protection procedures to discharge the static electricity from your
body.
DANGER
RISK OF EXPLOSION
• Battery gases can be highly explosive. DO NOT ALLOW sparks,
including sparks generated by electrostatic discharge (ESD), or
open flame, near battery modules.
• Do not smoke around batteries.
• Make sure the battery area is properly ventilated before
performing any work.
• Do not place batteries in a sealed enclosure. Even enclosures with
ventilation need to be properly evaluated to assure hydrogen will
not accumulate to explosive levels.
• Make sure vent funnel is properly placed on each Victory Class
Battery before charging. If vent funnel must be removed for
transportation, let battery sit for 48 hours at open circuit before
removing the vent funnel and replacing it with the orange
shipping plug.
