DANGER
Danger due to leaking electrolyte
The materials / mediums to be used for intended operation of the battery storage
system are procured and used by the manufacturer of the system.
The manufacturer is thus solely responsible for the proper handling of these
materials / mediums and the associated hazards.
Hazard and disposal instructions must be provided by the manufacturer.
Follow the safety data sheets of material and medium manufacturers.
Prevent these hazardous situations. Otherwise, they will lead to
deaths or serious injuries.
1.2.8 Safety instructions for fire prevention
Fire protection
Take essential precautions to respond efficiently in case of a fire.
Instructions for fire prevention
Pay attention to the following points:
• Keep the fire extinguisher(s) in the immediate vicinity of the system. (Fire extinguisher of fire
class D)
• Also keep in mind that poisonous vapours may be developed due to burning batteries and may
hamper and damage the function of respiratory tracts.
Hazard due to fire
The battery storage system does not pose a fire hazard. In case of a fire in the system, avoid its spreading to other
objects.
The battery storage system is de-energised at the time of delivery. Internal connection poles are always live. Therefore,
ensure that a tool or a metallic object is not kept in the battery system. This could lead to a short-circuit and severe
heat formation, which in turn could cause an explosion.
