Description
Danger Batteries Charging signs protect personnel from electrical hazard when chargers are connected or disconnected. The extended text message ensures users understand the specific risk and required procedure, meeting AS 1319 standards. Platinum Signs manufactures these in corflute, polypropylene, colorbond, and vinyl across four sizes to suit warehouse, workshop, and industrial environments. Reflective and laminated options are available for facilities operating in low-light or damp conditions.
Final sign type, wording, size, placement and material depend on the site risk, project specification and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with the relevant WHS adviser or regulator.

Frequently asked
Where should I position this sign on a charging station?
Mount at eye level directly on or immediately adjacent to the charger unit, where operators will see it before handling connectors. Multiple signs may be needed for large battery rooms.
Is the text size readable from a typical working distance?
At 225×300 mm, text is readable up to 2–3 metres. For larger charging areas or where operators work further away, choose 450×600 mm or 600×900 mm.
Which material handles regular moisture from battery acid or spills?
Colorbond is most resistant to chemical splash and corrosion. Vinyl is also durable but less robust than colorbond in harsh chemical environments.
Does lamination help protect against battery acid contact?
Lamination adds a protective layer against minor splashes and extends sign life, but it is not a substitute for careful handling. Avoid direct acid contact on any sign.
Can I order custom text for our specific charging procedure?
Custom text is available on request for trade accounts. Contact our design team with your requirements and we'll provide a quote and proof for approval.
