Exide Technologies Section 92.30 - Manual (Page 5)

Never lay tools or other metallic objects on the batteries as shorting, explosions and
personal injury may result.
Multi-cell systems attain high voltages; therefore, extreme caution must be exercised during
installation of a battery system to prevent serious electrical burns or shock.
Loose or dirty connectors/connections can cause battery fires. Keep all connectors/ connections
clean and torques at proper values. Keep outside of batteries clean and dry. Neutralize any acid
corrosion with a cloth moistened with a solution of 1 lb. of baking soda to 1 gallon of water, then wipe
off all traces of soda.
Do not move or shift racks/cabinets once installed without first disconnecting load to rack/cabinet and
all inter-rack/cabinet connections. Consult wiring diagrams for location of these connections.
Do not lift cells by terminal posts. Do not tamper with post seals, protective covers, pressure relief
vents or other battery components.
Disconnect the AC and DC circuits before working on batteries or charging equipment.
Assure that personnel understand the risk of working with batteries, and are prepared and equipped
to take the necessary safety precautions. These installation and operating instructions should be
understood and followed. Assure that you have the necessary equipment for the work, including
insulated tools, rubber gloves, rubber aprons, safety goggles and face protection.
