Storage
The service life of the battery system begins with the delivery ex works from HOPPECKE.
Storage periods must be taken into consideration in their entirety for the service life
duration.
Unpack the battery system as soon as possible after delivery, install it and put it into
operation, see
8 Installation on page 27.
In case this is not possible:
Store the batteries in a clean, dry and frost-free room.
Protect the batteries against mechanical damage and contamination.
Do not expose the batteries to direct sunlight.
Do not stack the batteries on one another. Please observe and follow project-specific
regulations applicable, if any.
Note
The ideal storage temperature is +20 °C.
The maximum storage temperature is +60 °C.
A too high storage temperature leads to faster self-discharge and premature ageing of the battery
system.
