General Precautions & Handling Instructions

GFX rechargeable sealed lead-acid batteries are designed to provide years of dependable service. The following guidelines in system design will ensure that battery life is maximized and operation is trouble free.

  • Do not place batteries in close proximity that may cause sparks, also do not bring fire close to the batteries that could cause explosion.
  • The battery should be located in the lowest part of the equipment, set it firmly as possible and mount it in a place where it is easy to check or replace.
  • SLA batteries are designed for application in any position, but avoid charging them in an upside-down position. If these batteries are charged excessively, leakage of electrolyte from safety vents might occur.
  • Avoid exposing or locating the batteries near a heat generating device. If close proximity is unavoidable, then ventilation is required.
  • Avoid mixed usage of the batteries differing in capacity, type, manufacturer or history of use.
  • Do not press, bend or heat the terminals (such as solder).
  • Provide enough insulation of lead wires between the batteries and the application.
  • Do not charge the batteries in a sealed container.
  • Avoid parallel charge in cyclic operations.
  • Do not continue to charge the batteries over 24 hours in cyclic operation that may be deteriorated.
  • Follow the specified charging method and conditions (such as charging voltage, current and time). Avoid overcharge or undercharge, that may shorten battery service life.
  • Charge battery immediately after deep-discharge, and charge them before use.
  • During trickle or float charge, measure the total voltage of batteries to make sure the charging systems are in a specified reading range.
  • Never use a cracked, deformed or leaking battery
  • Store the batteries under fully charged state and keep in a dry and low temperature place. Also recharge them at least every six months during storage.
  • Do not short-circuit or disassemble the battery.
  • Never dispose the batteries into fire or garbage bin, especially in countries where there are legal or voluntary regulations on recycling of batteries.
  • The battery housing is ABS plastic made, clean it with soft cloth only. Do not use organic solvents or adhesives.
  • In the event if eyes contact with acid (electrolyte), wash eyes with clean, cold water and consult physician immediately.
