BATTERY SAFETY
•
Wear eye protection and avoid touching your eyes and face when working with batteries to
keep any fluid/corrosion on the battery from contact with eyes and skin. Have plenty of
fresh water and soap nearby and thoroughly wash in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes. In the event of exposure to the eyes, flood them for at least 15 minutes
with running water and seek immediate medical attention. Baking soda neutralizes lead
acid battery electrolyte and vinegar neutralizes spilled NiCad and NiFe battery electrolyte;
depending on your battery type, keep a supply on hand near the batteries.
•
Read and follow the battery manufacturer’s safety precautio ns before installing the inverter
and batteries. Always verify proper polarity and voltage before connecting the batteries to
the Barcelona and Breaker Box. Once the batteries are connected, ensure the maintenance
and charging requirements (i.e., charge voltage and charge rate) provided by the battery
manufacturer are followed to extend the life of the batteries and to prevent damage to the
batteries while charging.
•
The battery bank should be installed in a clean, dry, ventilated environment that is
protected from high and low temperatures. If installed in a vehicle/boat, the batteries must
be mounted upright (if using liquid batteries) and securely fastened. The location must be
fully accessible and protected from exposure to heat producing devices, and away from any
fuel tanks.
•
Batteries can produce explosive gasses, so install batteries in a well-ventilated area. For
compartment or enclosure installations, always vent batteries from the highest point to the
outside. Design the battery enclosure to prevent accumulation and concentration of
hydrogen gas in pockets at the top of the compartment.
