Such heating can be the cause of storage battery breakage or fire damage.
When there is breakage in a storage battery container or lid, halt use and contact
the manufacturer. Such conditions can result in combustion or smoking
caused by ignited explosion or electrolyte leakage.
When electrolyte is spilled on the floor, use soda or another neutralizer to
neutralize the solution, then wash the area with large amounts of water and
thoroughly dry. Such spillage can cause corrosion in the floor, parts or machinery.
Never use water to extinguish fires in storage batteries
– instead using a powder
type (ABC) fire extinguisher. Water can cause the fire to spread, becoming the
cause of electric shocks.
After earthquakes or other natural disaster or calamity, follow the one-year
inspection measures in checking for container breakage, electrolyte leakage
and other abnormal conditions. Continuing use in the presence of such
abnormalities can cause electrolyte leakage or fires.
When the temperature sensor activates, check for the presence of abnormalities
in the storage battery and charge devices. If any such abnormalities are discovered,
contact the manufacturer.
Following earthquakes or other natural disaster or calamity, retighten all bolts and
nuts to the stipulated torque values. Continuing use without such retightening can
be the cause of sparking, terminal breakage or other problems.

Measures When Suspending Use
Because storage batteries will gradually lose their capacity even when not in use, auxiliary charge should be
performed on a regular basis in keeping with
the stipulations of Section 4.3 “Auxiliary Charge.”
Danger:
Because combustible hydrogen gas will be produced by storage batteries
even when suspending their use, all battery rooms, cubicles or storage areas
should be well ventilated. The batteries should also never be allowed close to fire.
Failure to follow these cautions can result in ignited explosions and/or fire.
Caution:
When suspending use of a storage battery for an extended period of time,
conduct auxiliary charging in accordance with the stipulations of Section 4.3
“Auxiliary
Charge,” disconnect the battery from the charger and load, then (if possible) store in a
location which is dry, cool and not exposed to direct sunlight. Failure to follow these
steps can be the cause of storage battery degradation.
8.Other Points of Care When Handing
When handling a storage battery, always observe the following cautions. Failure to do so can result in storage
battery electrolyte leakage, heating, ignited explosion, fire or smoking. Always follow these indications in the
interest of maintaining safety.
