3.2 Battery Layout and Mounting Orientation
The FIAMM SoNick 48TL160H battery when active contains some materials in a liquid form. Even
though the battery is fully sealed, the maximum permanent inclination when installed is 30
degrees.
During handling when the battery is cold (all internal materials are in a solid state) a temporary
placement, with angles greater than 30° are allowed.
In any case, never place the battery on its power terminals or upside down or with the front plastic
cover facing down.
Provide adequate shelf loading capacity, ensure that there is sufficient aisle space and avoid short-
circuits between the battery terminals and the shelf's metal parts.
