1.Isolate from Flammable Materials: Store lead-acid batteries away from any flammable materials to reduce fire risks. Batteries can emit gases, especially if overcharged, which can be hazardous in enclosed spaces.
2.Ventilation: Ensure that the storage area is well-ventilated. Hydrogen gas can build up in enclosed spaces, especially if batteries are improperly charged, posing a risk of explosion.
3.Label and Inspect: Clearly label stored batteries with the date and charge status. Regularly inspect for signs of corrosion, leaks, or swelling to address potential issues before they escalate.
