Connecting the charging and load cables
•
Always use cables with the appropriate cross-sections.
•
First connect the charging cable to the EFOY fuel cell and then any communications
cables. Always connect the positive pole to the battery first.
•
Tighten the M8 screws or the adapter screws provided with a torque of 10 to 15 Nm.
The diameters of the adapter screws differ slightly:
- The adapter screw with the smaller diameter is for the positive pole
- The adapter screw with the larger diameter is for the negative pole

Important information
The EFOY lithium battery may not be charged under the following conditions. Contact
either the EFOY hotline or your service partner.
•
The battery is damaged.
Triggering a circuit breaker:
•
Ensure that the discharge currents (continuous, five minutes and five seconds) are
no higher than specified in the data sheet. Otherwise an internal, reversible circuit
breaker will be triggered in the battery and the battery will switch off for approx. one
minute. It then returns to the operating mode when the discharge currents are
within the allowable limits.
If the battery voltage falls below 10.5 V, the battery automatically enters deep discharge
protection mode. In this mode, all functions are switched off to minimize power use. The
battery can only be returned to the operating mode by charging. This process may take
some time.
