Warning - Safety Risks During Handling Of Batteries - ABB DressPack Product Manual

1.4.6 WARNING - Safety risks during handling of batteries

Description
Under normal conditions of use, the electrode materials and liquid electrolyte in
the batteries are not exposed to the outside, provided the battery integrity is
maintained and seals remain intact.
There is a risk of exposure only in case of abuse (mechanical, thermal, electrical)
which leads to the activation of safety valves and/or the rupture of the battery
container. Electrolyte leakage, electrode materials reaction with moisture/water or
battery vent/explosion/fire may follow, depending upon the circumstances.
Appropriate disposal regulations must be observed.
