SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & WARNINGS 

 

Familiarize personnel with battery installation, charging and maintenance procedures.  Display operating instructions 
visibly near the battery system. Restrict access to battery area, permitting trained personnel only, to reduce the  
possibility of injury. 

 
 

Wear rubber apron, gloves and safety goggles (or face shield) when handling, installing, or working on batteries. 
This will help prevent injury due to splashing or spillage of electrolyte. Observe all accident prevention rules. 

 
 

Prohibit smoking.  Keep flames and sparks of all kinds away from the vicinity of storage batteries as liberated or  
entrapped hydrogen gas in the cells may be exploded, causing injury to personnel and/or damage to cells. 

 
 

Wash all electrolyte splashes in eyes or on skin with plenty of clean water and seek immediate medical assistance.  
Electrolyte splashes on clothing should be washed out with water.   
 

 

Explosion and fire risk.  Avoid short circuits.  Never place metal tools on top of cells, since sparks due to shorting  
across cell terminals may result in an explosion of hydrogen gas in or near the cells.  Insulate tool handles to protect  
against shorting.  Prior to making contact with the cell, discharge static electricity by touching a grounded surface. 

 

Electrolyte is highly corrosive.  Promptly neutralize and remove any electrolyte spilled when handling or installing 
cells.  Use DI water or a weak acid (vinegar) solution to neutralize spills and to prevent possible injury to personnel. 

 
 

Batteries are extremely heavy.  Exercise care when handling batteries.  When lifting use appropriate mechanical 
equipment to safely handle batteries and avoid injury to personnel. 

 

Dangerous voltage.  Whenever possible, when making repairs to charging equipment and/or batteries, interrupt AC 
& DC circuits to reduce the possibility of injury to personnel and damage to system equipment.  This is particularly  
import with high voltage systems (50 volts and above). 

Recycle and Dispose of Used Batteries 
Used batteries contain valuable recyclable materials.  They must NOT be disposed of with domestic waste.  Modes  
of return and recycling shall conform to the prevailing regulations in operation at the site where the battery system is  
located.  Call SBS for recycling options.
