Do not drop modules. Internal damage may occur that will not be visible from the
exterior.
Do not step on modules.
Protect the PCBA cover from impact. If any damage occurs to the PCBA cover, contact
Maxwell for replacement instructions.
Do not use tools such as hammers to disengage mounting or terminal bolts. Serious
damage may occur.

Installation
Mechanical
3.1
Modules may be mounted and operated in any orientation. Two mounting surfaces are available
(except for BMOD0110 models); one at the top and the other at the bottom surface. These top
and bottom plates are designed to support the module with no additional mechanical contact. See
the data sheet for available mounting locations. The BMOD0110 models may only be mounted with
the bottom side down to the mounting surface.
For best results the modules should not be mounted in locations where they are directly exposed
to the environment. In particular, areas of direct splash should always be avoided. In systems
that operate at voltages in excess of 60 V, appropriate protection and sealing should be used on
both module terminals to avoid shock hazards and corrosion.
A proper installation should not exert any bending or twisting torque to the module enclosure.
Ensure that the module’s mounting points are co-planar within ±1 mm. If the actual mounting
location is out-of-plane, use spacers to bring all four mounting locations within plane to within
±1mm.
Modules (except for BMOD0110 P016) have been qualified to SAE J2380 for vibration performance.
Ensure that this is adequate for the end-use environment.
Each module is provided with a threaded vent hole on the top plate. The module is shipped from
the factory with a vent plug in this vent hole. The use of the vent is optional. If the application
recommends/requires remote venting, a threaded hose barb can be provided upon request.
To use the hose barb, remove the vent plug which is in the hole when the module is received and
replace it with the hose barb. Attach a 5/32 (4 mm) ID hose, preferably Teflon or polypropylene,
to the hose barb and route the hose to a safe venting location. In the event of cell venting, the cell
may release gas, which will build pressure in the module. That pressure can be relieved through
the vent tube.
