Floods and heavy rains pose serious risks to lead-acid batteries. Water exposure can cause short circuits and corrosion.
Potential Hazards
- Corrosion: Water can damage terminals and connectors.
- Electrical Shorts: Submersion may lead to dangerous failures.
Protective Measures
- Elevated Installation: Place batteries above potential flood levels.
- Sealed Enclosures: Use waterproof battery boxes.
- Post-Flood Inspection: Check for damage before reuse.
Proactive measures can prevent flood-related battery failures, ensuring safety and longevity.
