1 Information on the conformity of lithium-ion batteries
The manufacturer of the lithium-ion battery declares that: the lithium-ion battery
conforms with the provisions of the following EU directive 2014/30/EU
in accordance with EN12895.
These batteries has been certified according to EN 62619:2017 for safe use and according to
UN38.3 for safe transport.
2 It is necessary to respect the following guidelines:
•Read the documents provided with the battery carefully.
•Only persons who have been trained to work with lithium-ion technology are permitted to work on
the batteries (for example After-Sales Service Centre technicians).
•Do not drop it or allow anything to fall on it.
•Do not expose the battery unit to humidity or water (
＞
80%).
•Protect the battery from solar irradiation.
•Do not physically machine or modify the battery.
•Do not open the battery. Electrical risk. Only the After-Sales Service Centre technicians can open
the battery.
•Do not place lithium-ion batteries on or near flames or hot heat sources (> 65°C). This may cause
the batteries to overheat or burst into flames. This type of use also impairs the performance of the
batteries and reduces their service life.
•It is forbidden to take out the battery in the charging state state.
•It is forbidden to use and store the battery at low power (the use and storage of power loss will
cause the early loss of battery system capacity and accelerate the service life of the battery pack);
•During the charging process, liquid and metal substances are not allowed on the charger, and it is
forbidden to use the charger in a high temperature and high humidity environment;
•It is forbidden for unqualified personnel to dismantle and overhaul the battery system and
supporting charger and other devices; the battery system is a dangerous product, and maintenance
and replacement can only be performed by professionals;
•Before the vehicle is started, power on through the button switch. After the vehicle is stopped, the
battery system must be powered off and stopped through the button switch, which can be judged
by the state of the display screen. If the time is too long, the battery will be over-discharged. In
severe cases, it will affect the battery performance);
• The battery should be fully charged for the first time;
• After each use, it should be charged in time (the initial state of charging should keep the
battery system temperature below 40° C to ensure the smoothness of charging);
• Have class D fire extinguishers or inert gas, carbon dioxide, powder or foam fire
extinguishers near the zone in which the lithium-ion batteries are used.
• Do only use in trucks manufactured by EP and if the battery type is released for that
truck.
