Installation,Care,Handling and Cautions

Installation 

Tools such as wrenches used to install the batteries should be insulated.Bare metal tools may cause an abnormal short circuit 

accident to occur resulting in bodily injury,dmage to the batteries,explosion or fire.

When the batteries are being mounted in the equipment,consider the best position for easy checking,maintenance and replacement.

In addition,the batteries should be located in the lowest part of the equipment as possible.

Mounting the batteries in upright position in the equipment /device.

Shorting

Do not short the battery, as it can burn out the connections and could damage equipment.

Disposing
Do not incinerate. Batteries may burst if thrown into fire.

Keep the battery clean
wipe the battery with dry cloth, if necessary, use water dampened cloth. Never use oil, gasoline, thinner or other petrochemicals.

Do not use in total sealed case or container
If the battery is used in a totally sealed case or container, it can fill with the gases generated during overcharging. 

In the worst case, the container may explode because the internal pressure might exceed the strength limit of the container or from an ignition of hydrogen gas in the event that there is an internal spark of flame.

If the battery is broken
If the battery is accidentally broken and electrolyte (sulphuric acid) leaks out,wipe it up with a cloth,neutralize the acid with some available alkaline substance such as ammonium solution,baking powder (sodium hydrogen carbonate) and so on.

Disassembly 

Do not disassembly the battery , as its strong acid electrolyte may burn your skin or clothes.

Storage 

Storage the battereis (in upright position) in a fixed position separate from metal or other conductive materials.

When storing the batteries ,be sure to remove them from the equipment or discount them from the charger and load,then store them at room temperature or lower temperature,do not store the batteries at direct sunlight,higher temperature or high humidity.To do so cause the batteries short life,performance deterioration or corrosion on terminals.

Transportation

Keep the batteries in upright position during transportation.

Do not give any abnormally strong shock and jolt to the batteries.Transporting the batteries in an abnormal position or handling them roughly could destory the batteries or cause their characteristics to deteriorate.

VRLA Battery Precautions:
Before using the value regulated lead acid battery (called VRLA battery hereafter),make sure you read its accompanying user's manuel or precautionary notes carefully.Since VRLA batteries posses energy,inappropriate usage can cause fluid leakage,heat generation,explosion or bodily injury.If you do not fully understand the user's manual or precautionary notes,please direct your questions to our company.

VRLA Battery Cautions:

1. Please keep the batteries in upright position during the transportation ,storage and installation.
2. The performance of the VRLA battery may not be compatible with certain equipment. Any uncertainty about the specifications of the battery should be brought to the attention of our company.
3. If there is any corrosion, cracking, deformation, heat generation, or other abnormalities to the VRLA battery upon its first use after purchase, do not use it. Please call the location where it was purchased. Using the battery with an abnormality can cause the battery to leak fluid, generate heat or explode.
4. Store all batteries beyond the reach of children. Also keep children and infants away when charging a VRLA storage battery.
5. The temperature range for using VRLA batteries are listed below. Usage outside the following temperature ranges can shorten battery life, lower its performance level, cause the battery to leak fluid, get damaged or deformed.
   Discharge: -20 to 50°C (during use of equipment)
   Charge: 0 to 40°C
   Storage: -20 to 40°C
6. Do not use or store VRLA battery where the surrounding temperature exceed 50°C, such as inside a hot automobile, in direct sunlight, or in front of a stove or a source of intense heat. Doing so can shorten battery life, lower its performance level, cause the battery to leak fluid, get damaged or deformed.
7. Do not let the VRLA battery's discharge current exceed the maximum value for the discharge current listed in its specifications. Exceed the maximum value for the discharge current can cause the battery to leak fluid, generate heat or explode.
8. Make sure you always turn off the switches or the equipment after use. Also make sure the battery is removed from the equipment whenever the equipment is going to be out of sue for a prolonged period. Excess discharge of the battery can lower its performance level, shorten battery life or cause the terminals to explode.
   
   
9. In the event electrolyte contacts skin, imme-diately flush with water and consult a doctor.
