2. Sikkerhetsinformasjon
Always observe the following safety precautions when handling, installing, or maintaining sealed lead acid batteries:
- Øyebeskyttelse: Bruk alltid passende øyevern (vernebriller eller vernebriller) når du arbeider med batterier.
- Hudbeskyttelse: Wear gloves to protect hands from potential acid exposure, although these are sealed batteries, caution is advised.
- Ventilasjon: Ensure adequate ventilation when charging batteries to dissipate any gases that may be produced.
- Kortslutninger: Avoid short-circuiting battery terminals. This can cause severe burns, fire, or explosion. Do not place tools or metal objects on top of the battery.
- Lader: Use only chargers specifically designed for sealed lead acid batteries with appropriate voltage and current ratings. Overcharging can damage the battery and pose a safety risk.
- Avhending: Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries contain lead and sulfuric acid and must be recycled according to local regulations.
- Skader: Do not use batteries that show signs of damage, swelling, or leakage.
3. Oppsett og installasjon
