Safety Precautions - Victron energy BMV-700 Anleitung


Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is
dangerous. Batteries can generate explosive gases
during operation. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame
in the vicinity of a battery. Provide sufficient ventilation
around the battery.

Wear eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes
while working near batteries. Wash your hands when
done.

If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash them
immediately with soap and water. If acid enters an eye,
immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at
least 15 minutes and get medical attention immediately.

Be careful when using metal tools in the vicinity of
batteries. Dropping a metal tool onto a battery might
cause a short circuit and possibly an explosion.

Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, and watches when working with a battery. A
battery can produce a short circuit current high enough
to melt objects such as rings, causing severe burns.
