Precautions 

  Storage 

6.  If  the  battery  is  stored for  more  than  3  months, it  should  be  stored  under  environmentally 

controlled conditions: 

a.  Ambient temperature: 25 ±3°C 

b.  Humidity: 25-85% RH 

c.  Air pressure: 86kPa-106kPa 

7.  Do not store the battery in direct sunlight. 

8.  The battery should be charged and discharged every 6 months. 

9.  Battery storage SOC should be >50% 

  Safety 

  Before use 

1.  Inspect the battery to ensure that it is not damaged. If damaged, please inform the supplier. 

2.  Ensure that the installation is done by a qualified installer. 

3.  The installation needs to be done in compliance with the specified regulatory standards as 

required by governmental and local authorities. 

4.  Keep in mind that the battery terminals are live. 

5.  Ensure that the inverter is not powered from AC mains while connecting the battery. 

6.  It is advised to use suitable protection between the battery and the inverter. 

7.  Make sure  the  polarity  (positive  and  negative)  connections  between the batteries  (parallel 

use) and between the master/main battery and the inverter is correct. 

8.  Verify that the inverter parameters match that of the battery. 

9.  The battery should be kept away from heat, fire and water. 

10. Double check all connections before switching the breaker/isolator switch to the ON position. 

 

  During use 

1.  In the event of altering or moving the installation, make sure that the breaker switch is in the 

OFF position and the inverter is switched OFF. 

2.  Do not use this battery with that of another supplier or a different type of battery. 

3.  Do not use the batteries with a faulty or incompatible inverter. 

4.  Do not exceed the charging current and discharging current parameters of the battery. 

5.  Overcharging or over-discharging will shorten the life-span of the battery and may cause the 

battery pack fail or overheat and catch fire.
