2.2Safety Precautions for Working Around Lead Acid Batteries

WARNING! Explosion hazard.

Batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation. Follow these precautions, and those published by the battery manufacturer, to reduce the risk of explosion.

1.Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery.

2.Ensure the battery compartment is well ventilated, in accordance with all codes applicable to the installation.

3.For flooded batteries, check acid level periodically and fill with distilled water per manufacturer’s instructions, to reduce the remaining space in the cells where explosive gases can collect.

4.Never attempt to charge a frozen battery.

CAUTION! Batteries contain corrosive materials and present a safety hazard.

1.Wear eye protection and protective clothing.

2.If battery acid or corrosive by-products contact skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. In the event of eye contact, immediately flush with running water for 20 minutes, then seek prompt medical attention.

3.Always ensure someone is nearby to help you in the event of an emergency.

4.Remove personal metal items such as rings, watches, bracelets etc. and be careful not to drop metal or tools on the battery. Contact to the battery terminals may result in a short circuit, causing severe burns or triggering an explosion.
