Claim:
1. A method of servicing a storage battery system, comprising: providing an non-conductive barrier having an aperture therein and a non-conductive cover sized and dimensioned to prevent access to the aperture when the cover is in a first state; mounting the non-conductive barrier with respect to a rank of storage batteries such that access to electrically conducting parts having a potential difference therebetween that is greater than a predetermined value through adjacent covers is prevented; moving the non-conductive cover so as to permit access to the electrically conducting parts through the aperture; dividing the series string into a sub-string by opening or removing an electrical connection between two storage batteries of the plurality of storage batteries, continuing to perform the steps of moving and dividing until each of the sub-strings has a potential difference with respect to any other electrically conducting parts that is less than the predetermined value; and removing the non-conductive barrier.
