Hello All, We have in our collection at the Queensland Museum a complete Marconi Audio Transmitter c.1956, with a number of associated dials, light bulbs, and (probably) lead acid batteries kept separate from the main body of the object. The batteries appear stable with no signs of corrosion or leaking, though it is possible a future closer inspection may reveal issues. Currently they are being kept in cardboard boxes, with the plan being to keep them if they are deemed necessary and significant and house them accordingly. Does anyone have experience with safely packing large batteries for long-term storage? Or has had to go through a health and safety-focused rationalisation for keeping a number of batteries on site long term?
Any insight into/experience of this material will be greatly appreciated.
