Here is a link to one of many companies that provide labels. http://www.labelmaster.com/resources/placardfinder/pfcacher.cfm?UNNumber=279 4. UN2794 is well understood in the firefighter world and so is the "Corrosive 8" placard. These are generally considered shipping labels, but will get the message to the firefighters in as few words as possible. If you check out the MSDS sheet for a particular battery it will tell you how to fight the fire and I'll bet it says not to use water. If you want to use your own text here is some common wording on shipping documents. Warning; Batteries wet filled with acid. UN2794
Rob Shappell Northwest Energy Storage Solar-One Batteries -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Carl Adams Sent: Friday, March 25, 2011 10:35 AM To: RE-wrenches Subject: [RE-wrenches] Battery Box Labeling Wrenches, Doing a quick scan of the NEC I did not find any labeling requirements for battery boxes. I also did not turn up anything on the list archives either. I'd be interested in what labeling other installers are using. It seems to me something should be in place for fire fighters. The box will contain a 500 Ah battery bank consisting of eight AGM batteries.
