6. Operation
6.1 Configuration and Operation Requirements
The following system design configurations must be followed. Contact Aquion before attempting to
install a system outside of these parameters.
Battery Modules must be installed in a dry environment.
The Battery Module is IP2X rated. Direct exposure to water may cause shorting.
The unit may be installed in coastal regions with atmospheric salt.
Battery Modules must not be operated or stored under direct exposure to sunlight.
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may damage the battery casing and reduce product lifetime.
Battery Modules may be stored at 0%–100% state of charge (SOC) without significant performance
loss.
For best results over long-term storage, Aquion recommends keeping the battery at ≤50% SOC (<48 V)
and ≤40°C.
Battery Modules must be operated in temperatures between -5°C and 40°C on a 24-hour average.
Operation above or below these limits will cause advanced degradation of the battery chemistry.
Battery Modules must be stored in temperatures between -10°C and 40°C.
Storage above or below these limits may cause permanent damage to the Battery Stacks.
Battery Modules must be kept between 30 and 59 Vdc after initial charge.
Operation or storage above or below these voltage limits will cause damage to the battery chemistry.
Battery Modules must be charged or discharged with less than or equal to 144 A of current.
There is a 15 A fuse on each individual Battery Stack, and internal Stack interactions may have up to
3 A of impact in high-rate conditions.
Battery Modules may be operated in systems up to 1,000 Vdc.
Battery Modules may be wired together in PARALLEL configurations of up to 12 Modules per inverter
or power control system.
A BMS100 is required for the M100-LS82 to operate properly. Please see the BMS100 operations
manual for more information.
6.2 Initial Charge
The Module should arrive with an initial voltage greater than 32 Vdc.
If the initial voltage is insufficient for charging power electronics, the Module can be charged using a
battery charging device within the operating limits of the Module as defined in the latest Product
Specification Sheet, available on the Aquion Energy Customer Portal at
