C.
Location
1.
Choose a cool and dry location for the batteries away from sunlight.
2.
Do not place them nearby a source that helps ignition.
3.
Minimize temperature variations between the cells. (To avoid temperature
variation between the batteries, do not locate the battery near HVAC ducts or
exhausts, heats sources (i.e., equipment that generates heat) or direct sunlight.
4.
Provide a minimum free space of 1-meter on all sides of the battery string for
free air circulation, easy assembly, and periodic checks during its operation.
D.
Freshening Charge
Batteries lose some initial charge during shipment and storage. Depending on
storage time, a battery may require a freshening charge.
Give freshening charge for batteries as given below :
When they are store beyond 3 months.
Failure to give freshening charge voids the battery's warranty.
Freshening Charge Details :
Charging voltage: 15.8 V (CC Charging).
Charging current: limited to a maximum 10% of the C10 capacity.
Charging duration: As per the battery state of charge (SOC)
