Ordinary maintenance for batteries (trained personnel only)
The system automatically controls the efficiency of the batteries every 24 hours, and sounds an alarm
when the efficiency is lower than that calculated according to the stored capacity value.
The lifespan of the batteries is linked to the operating temperature and to the number of charge and
discharge cycles effected.
The capacity is not constant, but increases after some charge and discharge cycles; it then remains
constant for several hundreds of cycles before decreasing permanently.
Preventive maintenance of the battery entails:
-
keeping the operating temperature within the field 20 - 25°C;
-
performing two or three discharge and charge cycles during the first month of use;
-
carrying out this operation every six months after the first month of use.
Since the batteries are a source of energy, opening the battery disconnector does not eliminate the voltage
inside the batteries. DO NOT TRY TO ACCESS THE INSIDE OF THE BATTERY CABINET. THERE ARE ALWAYS
DANGEROUS VOLTAGES AROUND THE BATTERIES. If the batteries are thought to be faulty in any way,
please contact the technical support service.
If the batteries need to be replaced, this must be done by a
specialized technician
. The
replaced parts must be sent to a specialized company for disposal by means of recycling.
Batteries are classified by law as “toxic waste”.
