Battery short circuits may cause human injuries. Although the voltage of ordinary batteries is
low, the instantaneous high current caused by the short circuit releases a great deal of energy.
To avoid battery short circuits, do not maintain batteries in use.
Harmful Gas
Do not use unsealed lead-acid batteries. Place and secure lead-acid batteries horizontally to
avoid inflammation or device corrosion due to flammable gases emitted from batteries.
The lead-acid batteries in use may emit flammable gases. Therefore, store the batteries in a
place with good ventilation, and take precautions against fire.
Battery Temperature
High temperature may result in battery distortion, damage, and electrolyte overflow.

Acid leakage
In the case of electrolyte leaks, counteract and absorb the leaking electrolyte immediately.
When moving or handling a battery whose electrolyte leaks, note that the leaking electrolyte
may hurt human bodies. When you find the electrolyte leaks, use the following substances to
counteract and absorb the leaking electrolyte:

When using substances to counteract and absorb electrolytes, strictly follow the guidelines
provided by the battery supplier.
Issue Draft A (2015-06-29)
Install or store batteries far away from fire and heating sources, such as transformers.
Never burn batteries.
When the temperature of the battery is higher than 60° C, check the battery for electrolyte
overflow. If the electrolyte overflows, absorb and counteract the electrolyte immediately.
