Technical FAQs 4

What are the safety measures for battery rooms?

The chapter also discusses safety measures for battery rooms that produce hydrogen and oxygen during the charging process, with reference to the technical reference specifications for determining the required hazard distance and ventilation openings. Graphical results are provided for the different battery types and voltages analyzed.

How to store a battery safely?

Ensure compliance with these guidelines for the safety storage of batteries. To enable the dissipation of any electrostatic charges, any element at a distance of 1.25 m from the battery must have a resistance of less than 10 M . ́ During maintenance activities, personnel should wear antistatic footwear .

Where should batteries be stored?

As previously indicated, the batteries should be kept covered and in protected areas, ideally in a separate installation room with limited access to maintenance personnel. In the event of utilizing open-type batteries, they can be placed in trays on an impermeable floor that is chemically resistant to the electrolyte.

How many Ah does a 24-v lead-acid battery have?

To enhance comprehension of the calculation procedure, we will analyze a frequently employed 24-V lead-acid battery with open-type elements and the subsequent load capacity attributes: C100: 900 Ah / C10: 686 Ah / C5: 590 Ah / C3: 510 Ah/ C1: 353 Ah.
