  • Handle more product
  • Optimize equipment use

Battery Safety

Although many of our power solutions are among the safest in the industry — including products from EnerSys — it’s critical to take precautions when charging and maintaining them. Implementing a safety program for battery care goes a long way in protecting your employees and equipment investments. Some tips for maximizing safety during charging include:

  • Maintaining a dedicated battery room: One of the most vital steps in battery safety is having a designated space for charging batteries away from heavy traffic. These areas require the appropriate ventilation to help gas dissipate and prevent explosions. Your battery room should also be free from excessive heat, static, sparks and open flames.
  • Preparing essential tools and supplies: Placing signs and instructions around your battery-charging area can help reinforce proper handling and safety procedures. Managers should also equip charging stations with the necessary safety tools and equipment, including wash stations, spill kits, gas detectors, neutralizing materials and a first aid kit. It’s also vital to keep the proper type of fire extinguisher on hand.
