Translations:Lead acid battery/54/en

Batteries must be placed in a location that will provide adequate cooling, a dry environment, and protection from unauthorized access. It is best practice to avoid installing batteries or other electrical equipment in living quarters meaning bedrooms, kitchens, or living rooms. This is especially true with flooded lead acid batteries as they generate a noxious sulfur smell during charging. This is often not possible in many locations due the lack an additional appropriate space or concerns over theft. In this case, using VRLA (sealed) batteries and installing them in the living room would be preferrable to a bedroom or bathroom.
