Lead-acid batteries contain hazardous materials and must be handled,
transported, and recycled or scrapped in accordance with federal, state and
local regulations. Since lead is a toxic substance, lead-acid batteries should
be recycled rather than scrapped.
A battery can present a risk of electrical short and high short circuit
current. The following precautions should be observed when working on or
around batteries:
●
Remove watches, rings, necklaces, or other metal objects.
●
Use only tools with insulated handles.
●
Wear rubber insulating gloves and boots.
●
Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
●
Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting
battery terminals.
●
Verify that battery cabinets are properly grounded.
Lead-acid batteries can present a risk of fire because they generate hydrogen
gas. The following safety procedures must be followed:
●
DO NOT SMOKE when near batteries.
●
DO NOT cause flame or sparks in battery areas.
●
Discharge static electricity from your body before touching
batteries by first touching a grounded metal surface.
When replacing batteries, use the same number of batteries, of the same
manufacturer, type and model that was supplied with the unit. To avoid
system malfunction, replace all batteries in each string if one or more batteries
fail to perform to specifications. Please record all individual cell voltages on the
chart.
