8. Maintenance
The battery does not require maintenance itself, however as part of your overall system maintenance, some
checks can be carried out.
• Check for any obstruction placed around the battery or battery enclosure.
• Check for animals, insects or creatures nesting in or around the battery solution.
• Check for build up of any foreign objects in or around the cabinet.
• Check battery connections and cables for secure fitting or damage.
• Check battery breaker by turning it off and on again.
• Check LED indicators.
9. Upgrading Battery Capacity
It is possible to add additional batteries to an existing Eco P Series installation at a later date. If you are to
add extra capacity the battery must be of the same type, part number, and specification, unless advised by
PowerPlus Energy.
Before adding the new battery the original battery bank and the new battery must be bought up to within
0.2VDC of each other.
This is achieved by one of the below:
• By charging both the new battery and the existing battery to fully charged separately before combining
them into the same battery system.
• Insert the new battery to a partially discharged battery bank ensuring the new battery and the battery
bank are within 0.2V of each other. Charge bank up and maintain our recommended continuous charge
voltage for 6 hours before floating or allowing load to be applied.
Ensure all PCE’s have had relevant charge current and battery capacities revised to suit new increased
storage solution.
