All battery accessories (connectors, terminal plates, hardware) will
be included with a module pallet. The pallet will be indicated with
an “Accessory” sticker. The “Accessory” module pallet will include
a base and a top plate. 3 x 2 modules will be shipped two high
with base plate and top plate on top of the module assembly.
2 x 2 modules will be shipped 3 high with base plate & top plate
on either side of the module assembly.

Storage / Refresh
Cells should be installed, and float charged upon delivery. If cells
are to be stored, the below requirements shall be followed.
1. Cells shall be stored indoors in a clean, level, dry,
cool location.
2. Store, charge, and ship in horizontal position only.
3. Recommended storage temperature is 50°F (10°C) to 77°F
(25°C). Acceptable storage temperature is 0°F (-18°C) to
90°F (32°C).
4. The cells shall be given a refresh charge at regular
intervals as detailed below:
0°F(-18°C) to 77°F (25°C)
Cells shall be charged by the “battery charge date” marked
on pallet.
Successive recharges shall be performed every 6 months.
78°F (26°C) to 90°F (32°C)
Cell voltage readings shall be taken monthly. Cells must
be given a refresh charge within 3 months from date of
receipt or if any cell voltage falls below 2.12 vpc, whichever
occurs first.
Successive refresh charges shall be performed every
3 months.
5. Whenever a refresh charge is required, it’s important that all
batteries to be installed in the same series string receive a
charge at the same time to ensure continuity once placed in
their intended application.
6. Each cell shall be charged for 24 hours at a constant
voltage equal to 2.40 volts per cell. To ensure the cells are
fully charged within 24hrs, the charger used for this refresh
charge must have the capacity to provide at least the mini-
mum charge current specification and not exceed the maxi-
mum charge current for the given cell type (model), as called
out in Appendix D.
7. All requested information on “Refresh Record Form” in
Appendix A should be completed for each refresh charge.
8. Cells shall not be stored beyond 12 months. Storing beyond
12 months will affect warranty.
9. If the storage / refresh requirements cannot be met, contact
the East Penn Reserve Power Product Support Department
for alternate instructions.
