Caution
Before cleaning, stand a distance away from the storage battery, and touch a metal
part or take other action to remove the static electricity charge in your body.
Always clean storage batteries with a damp cloth (a well-wrung rag, etc.). A dry cloth,
synthetic cloth or other types of cloth will generate static electricity from friction, which
can cause an explosion in storage batteries. Dusters and other cleaning implements
will also generate static electricity in the same way, and have a danger of causing
explosions in the batteries.
Never clean with thinner, alcohol, gasoline, benzene, kerosene or other organic
solvents, oils, detergents, chemical rags or similar implements. Such materials should
never be used because they can cause container or lid breakage, electrolyte leakage,
machinery corrosion and earth current, thereby causing combustion or the generation
of smoke.Storage batteries and the areas around them should be inspected regularly,
keeping them clean and in good order and removing unnecessary items and other
obstructions to ensure proper ventilation and inspection. Checks should also be made
for water leakage, wet floors and other undesirable conditions, with any problems
corrected to maintain dry conditions. For regular inspections, cleaning and other measures
should be taken in accordance with the contents of the regular inspection item list.
5.5 Periodic inspection
To prevent storage battery problems before than can occur, periodic inspections should be conducted within the
suggested periods. Any deviation from standards should be dealt with through proper measures, with all measures
taken recorded and stored.
Cautions:
Storage batteries should be inspected on a periodic basis, following the periods
stipulated in the Fire Defense Law and other regulations. When inspection
results indicate deviations from standard range recorded in the instruction manual,
proper measures should be taken on the basis of the instruction manual. All
measures taken should be accurately recorded. Continued use in deviation of the
standards can result in battery breakage, fire damage or performance degradation.
Storage battery inspections should be performed by
“certified storage battery
equipme
nt maintenance engineers” or other experts. Having such inspections
performed exclusively by unskilled workers can result in errors.
FCP type stationary lead acid batteries incorporate the control valve under the
vent plug. Neither the vent plug nor the control valve should ever be removed,
because this can result in performance degradation, shortened service life,
damage and other problems in the storage battery.
Before inspecting, stand a distance away from the storage battery, and touching
a metal part or take other action to remove the static electricity charge in your body.
Touching a storage battery with an electric charge in the body can cause sparks,
and possibly trigger an explosion.
