5. Faults
Should faults be detected in the battery or the charging device, Systems Sunlight Customer Service should be
contacted immediately. Measured data simplify fault detection and elimination. A service contract with Systems
Sunlight S.A. will detect faults in time.
6. Testing
Tests must be conducted according to IEC 60 896 - 21. Check that the battery is fully charged. Before testing
new batteries it must be ensured that a sufficient commissioning charge has been applied and the battery is
fully charged.
7. Storage and taking out of operation
If filled lead acid accumulators are to be taken out of operation for a long period of time, they must be placed
fully charged in a dry, frost-free room. To avoid damage, periodical equalizing charging (see 3.2.1) or permanent
float charging has to be made.
8. Transport
RES SOPzV cells are protected against short-circuit. If properly packed, batteries are no dangerous goods
according to the international regulations for dangerous goods on road and on rail (ADR and RID).
Battery Voltage in relation to DoD as a guidance for the initial LVD settings (first-try
settings) - 20ºC reference temperature
Notes:
The minimum voltage, for standby use, represents the maximum available capacity.
The minimum voltage, for solar use, represents the 80% of the maximum available capacity. It is the
lower LVD setting except in special applications and after Sunlight’s approval.
The DoD 60% line, represents the minimum voltage setting to control the end voltage of each discharge in
hybrid applications. It’s always recommended to implement a supplementary control by Ah counter.
