Building An Electric Fence; Safety Considerations - Patriot S50 Mode D'emploi

Disposing of an expired
battery
Ensure that the expired battery is disposed of in
a safe manner. Do not dispose of the battery in
a land-fill or in a fire. Expired batteries should
always be taken to a recycling depot.
In the event of a spill or leakage from a sealed
lead-acid battery:
• Contain small spills with dry sand, soil and
vermiculite. Do not use combustible
materials. If possible, carefully neutralise
spilled electrolyte with soda ash, sodium
bicarbonate, lime, etc.
• Wear acid-resistant clothing, boots, gloves
and a face shield.
Do not let un-neutralised acid get into the
•
sewerage system.
Maintenance
Clean the solar panel regularly with a soft cloth
using glass cleaner or a mild solution of
detergent and water. This will ensure that the
solar panel functions efficiently.
Caution!
Do not immerse the energizer in
water.
When transporting the energizer, protect the
solar panel to prevent the glass surface from
being damaged.
Storage
If the energizer is stored for extended periods,
the battery can discharge and become
damaged.
The energizer should be stored inside, next to a
window, where sunlight can shine on the
energizer each day.
If the energizer cannot be stored in a sunny
position, it should be kept in a cool place. The
battery should be fully charged and
disconnected from the energizer. The battery
should be recharged manually every six months
using a suitable battery charger.
