In some cases facilities maintain large banks of lead acid batteries that are used to provide backup power to critical systems during an emergency. Fire engines, HAZMAT and emergency response vehicles frequently include banks of lead acid batteries for the same purpose.
At this concentration, all it takes is a source of ignition to cause an explosion. Sparking from a battery terminal as it is connected or disconnected from the charging system is more than adequate as a source of ignition energy. That’s why lead acid batteries should only be charged in well ventilated areas. Toxic H2S
Overcharging, or lead acid battery malfunctions can produce hydrogen. In fact, if you look, there is almost always at least a little H2 around in areas where lead batteries are being charged. Overcharging, especially if the battery is old, heavily corroded or damaged can produce H2S.
Deteriorated, old or damaged lead acid batteries should be removed from service, as damaged batteries are much more likely to be associated with production of H2S. Sulfuric acid reacts with a number of metals and substances to produce SO2 as well as other “sulfur oxides” (SOx) such as SO3, SO4, S2O, etc.
Fire engines, HAZMAT and emergency response vehicles frequently include banks of lead acid batteries for the same purpose. Gases produced or released by the batteries while they are being charged can be a significant safety concern, especially when the batteries are located or charged in an enclosed or poorly ventilated area, or on the truck.
Vented lead acid: This group of batteries is “open” and allows gas to escape without any positive pressure building up in the cells. This type can be topped up, thus they present tolerance to high temperatures and over-charging. The free electrolyte is also responsible for the facilitation of the battery’s cooling.
