battery electrolyte [RE-wrenches]

[Bob Ellison, Alternative Energy Systems]

500 #'s of acid or total weight? I have a 40 cell battery in the shop that
is rated 85 Ah per cell over 6 hours (510 Ah total) and it only holds 1.25
gallons of acid per cell, but the damned thing weighs 3890 #'s!

I just spoke with a Trojan Distributor, they are not aware of any
regulations that apply to private battery banks like in a home.
The same battery in a transport truck would be a different story and need a
placard.

Getting ready for a energy fair this weekend, and the weather is talking
snow.......

List;

I received this query recently.

"What advice do you have for residential battery systems containing over
500 lbs of acid?
Article 64 of UFC and the right to know act for hazard materials on
the premiss?"

I do not know what the UFC is, so I am unfamiliar with it. Any help out
there?
