Safety Precautions
These precautions should be followed implicitly at all times. Particular
attention should be paid to the recommendations concerning local
environmental conditions and the provision of protective clothing, first aid and
fire-fighting facilities.
Ambient temperature is a major factor in determining the battery capacity and
life. The nominal operating temperature of battery is 20°C. Operating above
this temperature will reduce the battery life. Periodically charge the battery
according to the battery user manuals to ensure the back-up time of UPS.
Replace the batteries only with the same type and the same number, or it may
cause explosion or poor performance.
When connecting the battery, follow the precautions for high-voltage
operation before accepting and using the battery, check the appearance the
battery. If the package is damaged, or the battery terminal is dirty, corroded or
rusted or the shell is broken, deformed or has leakage, replace it with new
product. Otherwise, battery capacity reduction, electric leakage or fire may be
caused.
Before operating the battery, remove the finger ring, watch, necklace,
bracelet and any other metal jewelry
Wear rubber gloves.
Eye protection should be worn to prevent injury from accidental electrical
arcs.
Only use tools (e.g. wrench) with insulated handles.
The batteries are very heavy. Please handle and lift the battery with proper
method to prevent any human injury or damage to the battery terminal.
Do not decompose, modify or damage the battery. Otherwise, battery
short circuit, leakage or even human injury may be caused.
The battery contains sulfuric acid. In normal operation, all the sulfuric
acid is attached to the separation board and plate in the battery. However,
when the battery case is broken, the acid will leak from the battery.
Therefore, be sure to wear a pair of protective glasses, rubber gloves and
skirt when operating the battery. Otherwise, you may become blind if acid
enters your eyes and your skin may be damaged by the acid.
At the end of battery life, the battery may have internal short circuit, drain
of electrolytic and erosion of positive/negative plates. If this condition
continues, the battery may have temperature out of control, swell or leak.
Be sure to replace the battery before these phenomena happen.
If a battery leaks electrolyte, or is otherwise physically damaged, it must
be replaced, stored in a container resistant to sulfuric acid and disposed
of in accordance with local regulations.
If electrolyte comes into contact with the skin, the affected area should
be washed immediately with water.
