STATIONARY BATTERY INSTALLATION
AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IN REFERENCE TO THIS MANUAL:
– "Battery" is defined as an individual 12-volt unit.
– "Battery string" is defined as a series connected elec-
trical system comprised of batteries
(individual 12-volt units).
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Although all valve regulated batteries have the
electrolyte immobilized within the battery, 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. VRLA battery installations should be
supervised by personnel familiar with batteries and
battery safety precautions.
WARNING: Risk of fire, explosion or burns. Do not
disassemble, heat above 65°C, or incinerate .
Protective Equipment
Although VRLA batteries can vent or leak small
amounts of electrolyte, electrical safety is the principle
but not the only concern for safe handling. Per IEEE
1188 recommendations, the following minimum set
of equipment for safe handling of the battery and
protection of personnel shall be available:
1. Safety glasses with side shields, or goggles, or face
shields as appropriate. (Consult application specific
requirements)
2. Electrically insulated gloves, appropriate for
the installation.
3. Protective aprons and safety shoes.
4. Portable or stationary water facilities in the battery
vicinity for rinsing eyes and skin in case of contact
with acid electrolyte.
5. Class C fire extinguisher.
6. Acid neutralizing agent.
