Do NOT tilt the package; most standard lead acid batteries will leak if you do. Your battery will arrive fully charged – Do NOT smoke around or expose the battery to flames or sparks. Remove metal objects, jewellery and watches before installation. Weight: Lead acid batteries are very heavy.
Handling and the proper use of Lead Acid Batteries are not hazardous providing sensible precautions are observed, appropriate facilities are available and personnel have been given adequate training. In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act 1987, the purpose of this guide is to :- 1. Indicate the main hazards which may arise 2.
In a vented lead-acid battery, these gases escape the battery case and relieve excessive pressure. But when there’s no vent, these gasses build up and concentrate in the battery case. Since hydrogen is highly explosive, there’s a fire and explosion risk if it builds up to dangerous levels. What Is a Dangerous Level?
The leakage of sulfuric acid was the main environmental risk of lead-acid batteries in the process of production, processing, transportation, use or storage. According to the project scale the sulfuric acid leakage rate was calculated to be 0.190kg/s, and the leakage amount in 10 minutes was about 114kg.
Lead-acid batteries also come with the risk of hydrogen off-gassing during normal operation. Off-gassing occurs when batteries, particularly lead-acid types, release gases such as hydrogen during overcharging. This can create flammable or explosive conditions if not properly ventilated.
Lead acid batteries are very heavy. Use only the carry handle to move the package and exercise great care when lifting it. Bend your legs to lower it to the ground, NOT your back. Also, do not tilt the package while doing so. Open the package in a well ventilated area and NOT inside your home.
