5-6 HANDLING WARNINGS OF LEAD BATTERY
z
For safe operation of the Battery, read thoroughly the caution items described on the instruction manual
and also read the following cautions.
Do not keep the Battery at a place where there may be a danger of flooding. Keeping the Battery in such
places may cause leakage resulting in an electric shock or fire.
Make sure the polarity terminals are connected correctly. Wrong terminal connection will cause
excessive current resulting in fire or damage to the machine.
Do not weld the Battery's terminal or charge the Battery by connecting cables with wrong polarity
terminals. It may cause leakage of electrolytic solution, overheating or explosion.
m
Never use the Battery near heating places such as power transformers. Never use or keep the Battery in
an automobile under a blazing sun, a place where direct sun beam reaches, near a stove, or anywhere a
fire may occur. The Battery temperature may rise resulting in leakage of electrolytic solution, overheating
or explosion.
n
Never disassemble, remodel or destroy the Battery. Doing so may cause leakage of electrolytic solution,
overheating or explosion.
o
Use the Special Battery Charger or keep the battery charged as specified by the manufacturer. Charging
with other charging condition may cause overheating of the Battery or discharge of hydrogen gas
resulting in leakage of electrolytic solution, overheating or explosion.
p
The Battery contains diluted sulfuric acid. If diluted sulfuric acid adheres to skin or clothes due to
leakage, rinse it immediately with water. If diluted sulfuric acid gets into your eyes, rinse it immediately
with plenty of tap or clean water, then go see a doctor. Diluted sulfuric acid into the eye may cause loss
of sight. Diluted sulfuric acid adhering to the skin may cause burn.
q
The operating temperature range of the Battery is shown below. Operation outside the operating
temperature range reduces Battery performance and shortens its life, and furthermore it may cause
leakage of electrolytic solution, overheating or explosion.
Discharge cycle: -20 to+50
°
C Charge cycle: 0 to +40
°
C Storage temperature: -20 to +40
°
C
r
Never use the Battery for anything other than as specified. Usages other than the specified purposes may
cause leakage of electrolytic solution, overheating or explosion.
s
Excessive repeated overcharging may shortened the life of the Battery. Follow the specified Battery
charging condition.
Please cooperate in recycling the Battery
Used Battery will be recycled. For Battery disposal, contact the sales agency or SUNWA Co., Ltd.
When the Battery is returned, be sure to apply insulation tape to the Battery terminals. Used Battery still
maintains charge. Battery terminal exposure may cause explosion or fire.
