Handle batteries cautiously. Do not tip to avoid spills (if filled with electrolyte). Avoid contact with internal
components. Wear protective clothing when filling or handling batteries. Follow manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and service. Do not allow conductive material to touch the battery terminals.
Short circuit may occur and cause battery failure and fire.
Advice on general occupational hygiene:
Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, or using tobacco.
Eyewash stations and safety showers
should be provided with unlimited water supply. Handle in
accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Technical measures and storage conditions:
Store in a cool/low-temperature, well-ventilated place away from heat and ignition sources. Batteries
should be stored under roof for protection against adverse weather conditions. Place cardboard between
layers o
f stacked batteries to avoid damage and short circuits. Store batteries on an impervious surface.
