Combustion Danger

Explosion Danger

Storage batteries should be inspected on a periodic basis, following the periods stipulated in the Fire Defense Law and other regulations. When inspection results indicate deviations from standard range recorded in the instruction manual, proper measures should be taken on the basis of the instruction manual. All measures taken should be accurately recorded. Continued use in deviation of the standards can result in battery breakage, fire damage or performance degradation.

Storage battery inspections should be performed by “certified storage battery equipment maintenance engineers” or other experts. Having such inspections performed exclusively by unskilled workers can result in errors.

HSE and MSE type stationary lead acid batteries incorporate the control valve under the vent plug.

Neither the vent plug nor the control valve should ever be removed, because this can result in performance degradation, shortened service life, damage and other problems in the storage battery.

Before inspecting, stand a distance away from the storage battery, and touching a metal part or take other action to remove the static electricity charge in your body. Touching a storage battery with an electric charge in the body can cause sparks, and possibly trigger an explosion.

(1) One-Month Inspection Item Details Standard Measures
