WARNING!
A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. Servicing of batteries should
be performed or supervised only by properly trained and qualified personnel knowledgeable about batteries and the
required precautions.
The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
•
Follow the recommended PPE requirements per the SDS for the battery to be used.
•
Batteries are an energy source that can produce high amounts of electrical current.
•
Remove watches, rings, and other metal objects.
•
Eye protection should be worn to prevent injury from accidental electrical arcs.
•
Use certified and well maintained insulated tools. Use double insulated tools appropriately rated for the work to be
performed. Ensure that wrenches with more than one working end have only one end exposed.
•
Verify that no current will flow when the battery is connected or disconnected by opening battery disconnects (if
available) or adjusting the system to match battery voltage.
•
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions provided with the batteries. Do not dispose of batteries in a
fire. They may explode.
•
Do not open or mutilate batteries.
•
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE BATTERY MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDATIONS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
