SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Keep away from ignition sources, heat and flame. Such batteries must be packed in inner packages
in such a manner as to effectively prevent short circuits and to prevent movement which could lead to
short circuits. Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse and overcharge. More than a momentary short
circuit will generally reduce the battery service life. Avoid reversing battery polarity within the battery
assembly.
Storage:
Store in a cool; well-ventilated area. Keep away from ignition sources, heat and flame. Such batteries
must be packed in inner packages in such a manner as to effectively prevent short circuits and to
prevent movement which could lead to short circuits. Materials to Avoid: Strong oxidant, Combustible
materials and Corrosives.
Charging:
There is a possible risk of electric shock from charging equipment and from strings of series
connected batteries, whether or not being charged. Shut-off power to chargers whenever not in use
and before detachment of any circuit connections. Batteries being charged will generate and release
flammable hydrogen gas. Charging space should be ventilated. Keep battery vent caps in position.
Prohibit smoking and avoid creation of flames and sparks nearby. Wear face and eye protection
when near batteries being charged.
