9.1.1
Ground Handling/Road Transport
Batteries should be left inside the fuselage during transportation or
carried in suitable safe transport containers. Batteries should not be
transported unprotected laying in the beds of all-terrain vehicles, golf
carts, or pick-up trucks!
WARNING:
HV batteries are sensitive to ground handling.
Exposure to shock loads or mishandling must be
avoided, as this may lead to battery failures or fires and
void the warranty.
WARNING:
Do not leave the batteries inside a glider parked
outside unless the aircraft is covered with water-proof
all-weather covers or the motor bay door gaps are fully
taped to prevent water intrusion. Light-weight outdoor
covers and hangar dust covers provide inadequate
outdoor protection from the elements.
9.1.2
Long Term Storage
It is recommended to remove RES batteries and store them in a dry
place with the following conditions:
State of Charge:
35 - 50%
Temperature:
10
– 23 °C (50 – 73 °F)
Humidity:
< 75%
Check the state of charge of the batteries at least every 60 days to
ensure the cell voltage does not drop below the minimum limit.
CAUTION:
Do not leave the battery SOC condition unchecked for
extended periods. Comply with the minimum SOC
checking interval listed above.
CAUTION:
Exposing the batteries to temperatures above 35 °C
(95 °F) or below 5 °C (41°F) for prolonged periods will
shorten the battery life and reduce the capacity.
