INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
VALVE REGULATED LEAD ACID BATTERY BAG 2V SERIES
I. Shi pping and Storag e
(1)
Do not place battery upside-down, and
avoid collision, in case battery may be broken.
(2)
Do not touch terminal and safety
valve when handling batteries.
(3)
Short circuit of the battery is strictly
forbidden because it is fully charged and filled
with acid.
(4)
Storage temperature should range
between 0 - 35°C, direct sun light should be
avoided. If the storage temperature is too
high, big battery self-discharge may occur.
(5)
To avoid poor performance, the
storage time should not exceed 6 months
when the temperature is 25°C, and should be
shortened at higher temperature. Battery
stored for more than 6 months has to be re-
charged to ensure its good performance.
Storage room should be kept clean, dry and
with good ventilation.

In stallation proced ure and m etho d
(1)
Select proper installing position: The
battery blocks should keep away from the fire,
source of heat, and transformer, power
switches, and fuses which are easy to have
sparks. The operating room should have good
air circulation, and be easy for heat diffusion.
To ensure the best work performance of the
battery, the ambient temperature should be
controlled between 20°C to 25°C.
(2)
Battery racks and cabinets should be
fixed on the floor, (these racks and cabinets
can be designed according to customer's
requirement.), but the battery in bulks should
be assembled accordingly.
(3) Please refer to the attached
connection drawing before installing the
battery into the racks or cabinet, and connect
them with copper bar or cable. Before
connecting, the surface of terminal should be
coated with Vaseline.
(4) Check
after
installation
Check the fastening for tightness.
Check if the positive and negative connections
are conducted according to connection
drawing.
Check if the total battery voltage is correct.
(5)
Install dustproof guard and close the
cabinet door.

(1)
Select appropriate installation scheme
as per actual installation site. Please inform
the manufacturer of installation requirement
when ordering, so as to facilitate installation.
(2)
To ensure the best performance of
battery, please select proper battery room. Do
not install battery inside sealed room or
equipment, good air circulation is required.
Keep away from apparatuses which may incur
sparks or fire. Avoid direct sun light. The
battery room should not have organic solvent
or any of corrosive gas.
(3)
Do not connect different batteries
together.
(4)
When connecting, avoid short-circuit
of battery. Position and connect battery
according to drawings. The batteries should
be over 8 to 12mm apart, and make sure there
is adequate air circulation underneath battery.
Installation tools should be insulated. When
the total battery voltage is higher than safety
voltage, installation personnel should wear
insulated clothes in case electric shock
occurs.
(5)
Connectors should be clean, shortage
of flat washer or spring washer is not allowed.
All the fastenings should be tightened, or else
sparks may occur and damage the battery,
hence affecting battery performance. Also, do
not over tighten the fastenings, which may
damage the terminal.
(6)
Before connecting the battery to the
power supply or the loading equipment, check
the polarity of the cells and monoblocs to
ensure correct installation, and cut all
switches to prevent personal injuries.
(7)
Never clean the battery container with
organic solvent. Use only a damp cloth to
clean the cells and monoblocs.
(8)
To avoid personal injuries, do not cut
battery, as there is corrosive liquid— sulfate
acid inside cell.
(9)
Always keep clean areas around
battery valve to avoid dust blocking, which
may cause accident.
