Battery Safety Information

A battery can produce the following hazards to personal safety:

electrical shock

burn from high-short-circuit current

fire or explosion from vented gasses

Observe proper precautions when working with or around batteries.

Always wear eye protection, such as safety glasses, when working with batteries.

Remove all jewelry before working with batteries.

Never work alone. Have someone assist you with the installation or be close enough to come to your aid when working with batteries.

Always use proper lifting techniques when handling batteries. Always use identical types of batteries.

Never install old or untested batteries. Check each battery’s date code or label to ensure age and type.

Batteries should be installed in a well-vented area to prevent the possible buildup of explosive gasses. If the batteries are installed inside an enclosure, vent its highest point to the outdoors.

When installing batteries, allow at least 1 inch of air space between batteries to promote cooling and ventilation.

NEVER smoke in the vicinity of a battery or generator.

Always connect the batteries first, then connect the cables to the inverter or controller. This will greatly reduce the chance of spark in the vicinity of the batteries.

Use insulated tools when working with batteries. When connecting batteries, always verify proper voltage and polarity. Do not short-circuit battery cables. Fire or explosion can occur.

In the event of exposure to battery electrolyte, wash the area with soap and water.

If acid enters the eyes, flood them with running cold water for at least 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention.

Always recycle old batteries. Contact your local recycling center for proper disposal information.
