D. SAFETY OF HANDLING
VT batteries are maintenance-free electrochemical systems designed to provide years of
trouble-free electrical energy. The performance and service life of these batteries can be
maximized by observing the following guidelines:
① Heat kills batteries. You must avoid placing batteries in close proximity to heat sources of
any kind. You will enjoy longer service life, if batteries are operated in ambient temperature
ranges of 20℃(68° F)
② Since the batteries may generate ignitable gas, please do not install them close to any
item that produces sparks.
③ If the battery is to be used in an enclosed space or in a container, provision should be
made for adequate ventilation.
④ As the battery containers and covers are made of ABS plastic resin, placing batteries in
an atmosphere of, or in contact with organic solvents or adhesive materials should be
avoided.
⑤ Permissible operating temperature range of battery is -20℃ to 50℃, but using within an
operating range of 5℃ to 35℃ will extend service life.
⑥ Use shock absorber and fasten battery firmly when heavy vibration of shock is expected
during service.
⑦ When connecting the batteries, free air space must be provided for each battery. The
recommended minimum space between batteries is 0.02 inches(5mm) to 0.04(10mm)
⑧ Clean the battery with a piece of wet cloth. Never have the battery splashed of deposited
with oils or organic solvents such as gasoline or paint thinner, nor have it cleaned with cloths
impregnant with these materials.
⑨ Dismantling the battery is not advisable. If sulphuric acid is deposited on skin or clothes,
please wash well with sufficient amount of fresh water and obtain immediate medical
attention.
⑩ A battery is liable to rupture if thrown into fire. Please avoid such conduct at all times.
⑪ Touching electrically conductive parts might result in an electric shock. Be sure to wear
rubber gloves before inspection or regular service.
⑫ Mixed use of batteries with different capacities, histories and/or manufactures is liable to
cause damage to the battery or the equipment. If this is unavoidable, please consult
manufacturer beforehand.
