2.7 Battery Installation
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 batteries are enclosed in cabinets with limited access. Again, extreme caution must be
exercised when maintaining and collecting data on the battery system.
Battery Identification
Each battery contains a DATE CODE usually located on a sticker between the battery posts.
This date code must be recorded in the battery’s maintenance log. If batteries other than
those installed by Alpha are used, consult the battery’s documentation for date code type and
placement.
Battery systems represent a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit currents.
