SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Although all valve-regulated batteries have the elec-
trolyte immobilized within the cell, the electrical hazard
associated with batteries still exists. Work performed on
these batteries should be done with the tools and the
protective equipment listed below. Valve-regulated
battery installations should be supervised by personnel
familiar with batteries and battery safety precautions.
Protective Equipment
To assure safe battery handling, installation and
maintenance, the following protection equipment
should be used:
1. Safety glasses or face shield
2. Acid-resistant gloves
3. Protective aprons and safety shoes
4. Proper lifting devices
5. Properly insulated tools
Procedures
The following safety procedures should be followed
during installation: (Always wear safety glasses or
face shield.)
1. These batteries are sealed and contain no free elec-
trolyte. Under normal operating conditions, they do not
present any acid danger. However, if the battery jar or
cover is damaged, acid could be present. Sulfuric acid
is harmful to the skin and eyes. Flush affected area
with water immediately and consult a physician if
splashed in the eyes.
2. Prohibit smoking and open flames, and avoid arcing in
the immediate vicinity of the battery.
3. Do not wear metallic objects, such as jewelry, while
working on batteries.
4. Keep the top of the battery dry and clear of all tools and
other foreign objects.
5. Provide adequate ventilation (per IEEE standard 1187 and
/or local codes) and follow recommended charging voltages.

RECEIVING AND STORAGE
Receiving Inspection
Upon receipt, and at the time of actual unloading, each
package should be visually inspected for any possible
damage or electrolyte leakage. If either is evident, a
more detailed inspection of the entire shipment should
be conducted and noted on the bill of lading. Record
receipt date, inspection data and notify carrier of any
damage.
Unpacking
1. Always wear eye protection.
2. Check all batteries for visible defects such as cracked
containers, loose terminal posts, or other unrepairable
problems. Batteries with these defects must be replaced.
