Re: Lead acid Batteries inside DG set acoustic enclosure - What Hazard and Risk and h
Dear Somashekar,
I would expect your DG set manufacturer to give you maintenance free battery; in that case I do not expect any major risk. If the battery has to be maintained, then one should take care of handling acid (sulphuric). These are as risky as the batteries used in cars in India. From the environmental angle, the disposal of the used battery is an issue to be addressed; spillage of sulphuric acid during maintenance is another issue that may be considered for prevention. I do not expect a major explosion involving these batteries as the battery technology as well as the charging technology presently available take care of this issue.
Have I missed any point ? Do you have any apprehension which I have not considered ?
With kind regards,
Ramakrishnan
