I. Safety

Installation and servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel

knowledgeable of

lead acid batteries standard safety practices i.e., personal and equipment safety precautions.

Safety Concerns (Please reference C&D Material Safety Data Sheet document L-84 for additional

information which is available directly from www.cdtechno.com)

• Electrical Hazards

Battery systems present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. Remove any metal

objects (e.g. watches and rings), use properly

insulated tools, and wear eye protection and rubber

gloves.

Observe circuit polarities, use a voltmeter to check potentials before making connections and do not

make or break live circuits without following all proper safety precautions.

•

Disposal

Lead Acid Batteries are to be recycled. VRLA batteries contain lead and immobilized dilute sulfuric

acid. Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State and local regulations. Do not

dispose of in a

landfill, lake or other

unauthorized location. For assistance contact C&D at www.cdtechno.com

• Chemical Hazards

Any liquid emission from a battery may be

electrolyte which contains dilute sulfuric acid

this is

harmful to the skin and eyes, is electrically conductive and is corrosive.

electrolyte contacts the

skin, wash immediately

and thoroughly. If electrolyte enters the eyes, promptly flush eyes with water

and seek medical attention. Neutralize spilled electrolyte with a solution of 1 lb. bicarbonate

of soda

(baking soda) to 1 gallon of water.

• Fire, Explosion and Heat Hazards

Batteries can contain an explosive mixture of hydrogen gas which can vent under overcharging

conditions. Do not smoke or cause sparks in the vicinity of the battery. Do

not install and charge

batteries in a sealed

container. Mount the individual batteries with

a minimum of 0.5'' between units.

If contained, assure the container or cabinet and room have adequate ventilation to prevent

accumulation of potentially explosive vented gas. Refer to the current issue of the National Electric

Code (NEC) and other applicable building codes. Please note that for sealed cabinets with VRLA gas

removal provisions, the C&D TEL Series batteries with gas collection (G suffix) and the optional

tubing kit can be utilized (see Diagram in Section V of this document)

•

Caution

Do not attempt to remove battery vents or add water as this presents a safety hazard and voids the

warranty. Wash hands after any contact with the battery lead terminals.

. Receiving Instructions

Upon receipt, inspect the batteries for physical damage to the containers and terminals. If found,

a claim must

be filed with the carrier within 10

days.

Also check the packing slip to make sure all material has arrived.

The batteries are shipped fully charged. Their

Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) should not be below 12.48

volts

per 12 volt unit.
