Caution Battery Charging Sign in Manchester

This is the general-purpose charging sign. It does not single out acid or explosive gas. That makes it a good fit for places charging everyday lithium batteries, where the aim is to mark one agreed spot for charging and stop it happening everywhere else.

Housing and offices in Greater Manchester

A sheltered housing scheme in Sale gives residents a dedicated room on the ground floor for charging mobility scooters, rather than in corridors or flats. An A3 sign on the door and another inside above the sockets make it the place to charge. In an office in Didsbury with a growing number of e-bike commuters, the facilities manager might set aside a corner of the bike store with its own sockets and an A4 sign above them.

One place, not everywhere

The mistake is putting up the sign and then tolerating charging in corridors and stairwells anyway. The sign marks the agreed place; the rule needs backing up with a notice elsewhere and with management. The fire risk assessment and the responsible person decide where charging is allowed. Keep exits and escape routes clear of scooters and leads.

Size, board and delivery

Foamex suits most indoor charging rooms. Dibond is better in an outside bike shelter or a damp garage. Prices start at £26.82. Production is 5 working days. Tracked courier then usually takes 1 to 3 working days; £7.95 per order, or free once goods total £100. The wider family is under hazard signs.
