I've never been very keen on the idea of working around a bank of Secondary Cells.
I usually wear as much PPE as I can possibly get on when working near them.
It's not the large fault currents that worry me should a short-circuit occur from dropped tools and the like, it's the threat of the cells actually exploding during a short-circuit and releasing thier Sulphuric Acid.
Has anyone actually seen or heard of this happening?.
Also, what do the Safety Codes say about the storage and operation of large banks of batteries, with regard to shrouding of terminals and ventilation of the dangerous gases that Lead-Acid cells generate?.
