SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & WARNINGS
Familiarize personnel with battery installation, charging and maintenance procedures. Display operating
instructions visibly near the battery system. Restrict access to battery area, permitting trained personnel only, to
reduce the possibility of injury.
Wear rubber apron, gloves and safety goggles (or face shield) when handling, installing, or working on batteries.
This will help prevent injury due to splashing or spillage of sulfuric acid. Observe all accident prevention rules.
Prohibit smoking. Keep flames and sparks of all kinds away from the vicinity of storage batteries as liberated or
entrapped hydrogen gas in the cells may be exploded, causing injury to personnel and/or damage to cells.
Wash all acid splashes in eyes or on skin with plenty of clean water and seek immediate medical assistance. Acid
splashes on clothing should be washed out with water. Acid on skin or clothing should also be immediately
neutralized with a solution of baking soda and water.
Explosion and fire risk. Avoid short circuits. Never place metal tools on top of cells, since sparks due to shorting
across cell terminals may result in an explosion of hydrogen gas in or near the cells. Insulate tool handles to protect
against shorting. Prior to making contact with the cell, discharge static electricity by touching a grounded surface.
Electrolyte is highly corrosive. Promptly neutralize and remove any electrolyte spilled when handling or installing
cells. Use a baking soda/water solution (1 lb. per gallon of water) to prevent possible injury to personnel.
Block and single cell batteries are extremely heavy. Exercise care when handling batteries. When lifting use
appropriate mechanical equipment to safely handle batteries and avoid injury to personnel.
Dangerous voltage. Whenever possible, when making repairs to charging equipment and/or batteries, interrupt AC
& DC circuits to reduce the possibility of injury to personnel and damage to system equipment. This is particularly
import with high voltage systems (110 volts and above).
Recycle and Dispose of Used Batteries
Used batteries contain valuable recyclable materials. They must NOT be disposed of with domestic waste. Modes
of return and recycling shall conform to the prevailing regulations in operation at the site where the battery system is
located. Call SBS for recycling options.

Page 2: Delivery And Storage
DELIVERY AND STORAGE Delivery Unpack the batteries as soon as they are delivered. Do not lift by the terminal posts! Batteries should be lifted by handles or supplied lifting straps. In addition at all times, exercise care when handling batteries to prevent scratching of plastic jars and covers. - Page 3 Note: If a SBS spill containment is also supplied the rack will fit into the spill pans. If the rack is being anchored to the floor drill through the spill containment system and caulk hole with a silicon sealant to avoid possible leaks.

Page 5: Boost Charge
a) The IU method of boost charging. At a raised voltage of 2.33 – 2.40Vpc, the charging time will be 4-24 hours depending on the charging current and initial charge conditions. The current must be limited to 30% the 8hr AH rating. b) Float Charging. -
Page 6: Charging Current
Float Charge The recommended float charge voltage is 2.23Vpc at 77˚F. However, the batteries can be floated as low as 2.15Vpc or as high as 2.25Vpc. Floating the batteries under the recommended 2.23Vpc will lead to an occasional equalize charge being required, as well as slightly reduced capacity. Floating the batteries above 2.23Vpc will lead to additional watering being required, as well as a shorter life. -

Page 8: Maintenance And Testing
MAINTENANCE & TESTING Water Topping Under ideal operating conditions, lead-selenium flooded batteries should require watering every 1 to 3 years. This depends on temperature, charging rates, and number and depth of discharges. Note: DO NOT ADD WATER TO A BATTERY WHICH ISN’T FULLY CHARGED. This is especially important as the battery is being installed. - Page 9 Note: Keep a logbook in which the measured values can be noted as well as power cuts, discharge tests, equalize charges, topping up dates, storage times and general conditions. To obtain the full capacity and service life from your SBS stationary battery system, the performance of complete and timely periodic maintenance is essential. Temperature extremes, improper electrolyte levels, charging voltage and specific gravity imbalance are a few of the items which can have a negative effect on the system.
