VRLA Battery
Safety
Concerns
Installation and servicing of the DYNASTY VRLA
battery should only be performed and supervised
by
personnel knowledgeable
of lead acid batteries and
required personal and equipment
safety precautions.
Keep unauthorized
personnel away from the batteries
and installation activity.
If electrolyte contacts the skin, wash immediately
and
thoroughly.
If electrolyte enters the eyes, wash
thoroughly
for 10 minutes with clean water or a
special neutralizing
eye wash solution and seek
immediate medical attention.
Neutralize any spilled electrolyte with the special
solutions contained in a "spill kit" or with a solution of
1 Ib. bicarbonate of soda to 1 gallon of water.
Electrical
Hazards
Battery systems present a risk of electrical shock and
high short circuit currents. The following precautions
should be observed when installing and maintaining
VRLA batteries:
Fire, Explosion
and Heat Hazards
Lead acid batteries can contain an explosive mixture
of hydrogen gas which can vent under overcharging
conditions.
1 .Remove
all
personal
metal
objects
(watches
and
rings).
---
Do not smoke or introduce sparks in the vicinity of the
battery.
2. Use insulated tools.
Wear full eye protection and rubber gloves.
Do not install
and charge
batteries
in a sealed
container.
4. Observe circuit polarities,
Do not make or break live circuits.
Mount the individual batteries with 0.5 inches of space
between the batteries to allow for convection cooling.
If contained, assure the container or cabinet and room
have adequate ventilation to prevent an accumulation
of potentially vented gas.
6. Prior to handling batteries on a metal rack,
assure the battery is not inadvertently
grounded by measuring the voltage between
the battery and the rack. It should be zero. If
not, determine the cause and correct prior to
proceeding.
Refer to the current issue of the National Electric
Code.
Disposal
Caution
Lead acid batteries are to be recycled. Batteries
contain lead and dilute sulfuric acid. Dispose of in
accordance
with Federal, State and local regulations.
Do not dispose of in a landfill, lake or other
unauthorized
location.
Do not attempt to remove the vents (valves) from the
DYNASTY VRLA battery or add water. This presents a
safety hazard and voids the warranty.
Caution
~
The individual batteries may weigh from 25 to 100
pounds depending
on part number. Exercise care
when handling and moving batteries. Assure the use
of appropriate
handling equipment.
Chemical
Hazards
Any gelled or liquid emissions from a VRLA battery is
electrolyte which contains dilute sulfuric acid which is
