2.6.1. Battery Safety
WARNING: Battery systems represent a risk of electrical shock and high short
circuit currents. The following precautions must be observed when
maintaining batteries:
•
Remove all personal metal objects (watches, rings, etc.)
•
Use insulated tools.
•
Wear eye protection and rubber gloves.
•
Observe circuit polarities.
•
Do not make or break live circuits.
•
Do not lay metal tools and hardware on top of the batteries.
The battery is enclosed in cabinets with limited access. Again, extreme caution
must be exercised when maintaining and collecting data on the battery system.
2.6.2
Battery Identification
Each battery contains a DATE CODE usually located near the positive (+) terminal
of the battery. This date code must be recorded in the maintenance log
(
MAINTENANCE manual). If batteries other than those installed by Alpha are used,
consult the battery’s manufacturers’ documentation for date code type and placement.
