Instructions / Assembly

Keep the terminals of the battery
clean. Dirty terminals may cause
inadequate contact of the battery to
the equipment body, leading to power
failure or charge failure.
Emergency Measures
The battery contains diluted
sulfuric acid, a very toxic
substance. If the battery leaks and the
liquid inside spills on the skin or
clothing, immediately wash it off with
plenty of clean water. If the liquid
splashes into eyes, immediately flush
the eyes with plenty of clean water
and consult a doctor. Sulfuric acid in
the eyes may cause loss of eyesight
and acid on the skin will cause
burns.
If any corrosion of the
terminals, leakage or
deformation of the case of the
battery is found, do not use
the battery and turn off the
power supply. If a battery, which is
irregular or substandard in any way,
continues to be used, leakage, fire or
bursting of the battery may occur and
there is also a potential for electric
shock.

NOTICE
Storage
• Store the battery in a stable position
so as to keep the terminals of the
battery away from any metallic or
other conductive material (including
items that may fall or drop onto the
battery).
• Protect the battery from rain. If the
terminals of the battery come into
contact with water, they may corrode.
• Keep the battery in the upright
position as a general rule, and do not
apply abnormally strong vibrations or
shocks to the battery. Transportation
of the battery in an abnormal position
or the application of abnormally
strong vibrations or shocks to the
battery may cause damage to the
battery and the deterioration of
characteristics.
• When storing the battery, remove it
from the equipment or disconnect it
from the charger or the load and keep
it in a place where temperature is
low. Do not store the battery under
direct sunlight or in high
temperatures (140°F (60°C) or
higher)or in a highly humid
atmosphere, because rusting,
deterioration of performance and life
of the battery may occur.
!
CAUTION
Installation Manual
• During storage of the battery, charge
it at least once every six months
(when ambient temperature is 77°F
(25°C) or below). Shorten the interval
of charging to a third by every 50°F
(10°C) rise of ambient temperature. If
the battery has been stored for a
long period in a discharged state, it
may not be able to regain it’s
capacity even if it is recharged.
• If the battery is stored for a year or
longer without being charged, its
service life may be shortened.
• Store the battery after fully charging
it, otherwise its service life may be
shortened.
• Use the battery as soon as possible.
The battery gradually deteriorates
during storage and thus its decreased
capacity may be irreversible.
Disposal of Batteries
This battery is fully recyclable and
should be accepted at any location that
accepts common automotive starter
batteries. Examples of places that
accept these batteries are: County or
municipal recycling drop-off centers,
scrap metal dealers, and retailers who
sell automotive replacement lead acid
starter batteries.

Description
The WSB1240 and WSB1275 are
maintenance-free, seal lead acid,
rechargeable batteries. The
construction and sealing technique
guarantee that no electrolyte leakage
can occur from the terminals or case
under normal usage.
These sealed lead-acid batteries are
rechargeable batteries that recombine
suppressed gases, thus eliminating the
need to add water. Since they are
tightly sealed, the batteries will not
leak and can be installed in certain
applications where “wet” battery can
not be installed.

Environment and
Condition of Use
Do not load lead-acid batteries
(hereinafter described as “the
battery”) in airtight equipment. Use of
the battery in airtight equipment may
cause explosion of the equipment or
injury.
• Charge the battery using a
specified charger or under
the charging condition
specified in this manual.
Charging the battery under any other
conditions may cause the battery to
overheat, emit hydrogen gas, ignite,
or burst.
• Avoid direct contact of the battery
with metallic containers; acid- and
heat-resistant insulators should be
employed. Leakage of the battery in
the absence of insulators may cause
problems such as release of fumes
and ignition.
• Do not place the battery
near a device that may cause
sparks (such as a switch or a
fuse). The battery may generate
flammable gas when charged, so
remember to keep the battery away
from fire or an open flame to prevent
any sparks from igniting or causing
explosions.
• Avoid placing the battery near a
!
WARNING
!
DANGER
heat-generating part (such as a
transformer). Using the battery near
a heat source may cause the battery
to overheat, ignite, or burst.
• In applications which use more than
one battery, first make sure of correct
mutual connections between
batteries, and then connect the
battery with the charger or the load.
Make sure to firmly connect the (+)
pole of the batteries to the (+)
terminal of the charger or load, and
the (-) pole to the (-) terminal in the
same way. If the poles/terminals of
the batteries, the charger and the
load are connected improperly,
explosion, ignition or damage to the
batteries and/or equipment may
occur, causing injury to personnel in
some cases.
• Be extremely careful not to drop the
battery onto feet to avoid the
possibility of serious injury.
• The operating temperature range for
the battery is specified below. Use of
the battery at temperatures beyond
this range may cause battery damage.
Normal operating temperature of
the battery is 77°F (25°C).
When charged: -40°F to 140°F (-
40°C to 60°C)
• Do not allow the battery to
be immersed in or wetted
with water/sea-water; as it
may corrode the battery, ignite or
create an electric shock hazard.
