and ultimately damage the device and cause short circuit of circuit boards.

l Because storage batteries have high power, short circuits caused by incorrect operations

may cause serious injuries.

Preventative Measures

When installing and maintaining batteries, pay attention to the following points:

l Use special insulating tools.

l Take care to protect your eyes when operating batteries.

l Wear rubber gloves and a protective coat in case of electrolyte overflow.

l When handling a battery, ensure that its electrodes are upward. Leaning or reversing the

battery is prohibited.

l Switch off the power supply during installation and maintenance.

l Open the circuit breaker contacts of the battery group before installing the eBat.

l Close the circuit breaker contacts of the battery group after the eBat is successfully installed.

Short Circuit

DANGER

Battery short circuit may cause human injuries. Although the voltage of ordinary batteries is low, the instantaneous high current caused by the short circuit releases a great deal of energy.

Prevent battery short circuits that are caused by metal objects. If metal objects must be used, first disconnect the batteries in use before performing any other operations.

eBIMS Product Installation Guide

Harmful Gas

Do not use unsealed lead-acid batteries. Place and secure lead-acid batteries horizontally to prevent inflammation or device corrosion due to flammable gas emitted from batteries.

The lead-acid batteries in use may emit flammable gas. Therefore, store the batteries in a place with good ventilation, and take precautions against fire.

Battery temperature

High temperature may result in battery distortion, damage, and electrolyte overflow.

When the temperature of the battery is higher than 60°C, check the battery for electrolyte overflow. If the electrolyte overflows, absorb and counteract the electrolyte immediately.

1 Overview

Acid leakage

In the case of electrolyte leaks, counteract and absorb the leaking electrolyte immediately.

When moving or handling a storage battery whose electrolyte leaks, note that the leaking electrolyte may hurt human bodies. When you find the electrolyte leaks, use the following substances to counteract and absorb the leaking electrolyte:

l Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda): NaHCO

l Sodium carbonate (soda): Na2CO

When using substances to counteract and absorb electrolytes, strictly follow the guidelines provided by the battery supplier.

If your body meets the acid, wash the part that has met the acid with clean water immediately, or immediately call a doctor if the situation is serious.
