Risk of short-circuit and possible deflagration may
happen due to the accumulated hydrogen.
Metallic particles of different sizes should be avoided due
to the violent explosion of the short-circuit and/or the tool
itself or the metallic object. This might result in the incident,
and increase the risk of significant damage to nearby
people and other devices, instruments or machines.
Never manipulate them with your bare hands or through
conducting objects. Both the battery terminal block of the
equipment and the ones from the batteries are necessary.
In case the automatic software to shut down the devices
due to end of back up time is not set, it is recommended to
shut down the loads and the UPS before depleting the
autonomy of the batteries, as a preventive safety measure
for the own loads.
•
If the equipment is not in operation during the nighttime,
weekends and holidays periods, it is recommended to shut
down the equipment completely. In particular due to this last
period and safety reasons, the energy generator should be
handled with care, especially to prevent batteries from
unnecessarily discharging during these periods of time.
•
When the equipment and/or battery module is protected by fuse
which is needs to be replaced, substitute it for another one with
the same type, format and size.
•
After prolonged time of disconnection, it is needed to recharge
the batteries for 12 hours at a minimum every 6 months, in order
to avoid the irreversible degradation of the batteries.
•
The battery terminals are requisite in order to avoid the high risk
of detriment to the equipment and batteries.
•
Avoid mechanical efforts and impacts.
•
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Spilled electrolyte is harmful
and toxic for the skin and eyes.
•
Do not dispose the batteries in a fire or expose it to high
temperatures. Batteries may explode.
•
If acid contacts with parts of the body, wash it immediately with
plenty of water and urgently call the nearest medical service.
•
Batteries involve a possible risk for health and environment so the
disposal should be done in accordance with the existing
regulations.
