batteries are supplied in a
charged condition, and are capable of extremely high short circuit
currents. Take care to avoid short-circuiting terminals of opposite
polarity.
1. Receiving
Upon receipt of a shipment, check that the items delivered
are undamaged and match the carrier’s Bill of Lading.
Report any damage or shortages to the carrier. EnerSys
®
is not responsible for shipment damage or shortages
that the receiver does not report to the carrier.
2. Storage
2.1 Storage Conditions and Time
If a battery cannot be immediately installed it should be
stored in a clean, cool, dry area.
During storage monoblocs and cells lose capacity through
self-discharge.
High temperature increases the rate of self-discharge and
reduces the storage life.
The chart below shows the relationship between open-circuit
voltage (OCV) and storage time at various temperatures.
2.2 Refresh Charge
Monoblocs and cells must be given a freshening charge
when the OCV approaches the equivalent of 2.10 Volts per
cell or when the maximum storage time has been reached.
Freshening charge should be by means of constant voltage
charge set between 2.29 and 2.40Vpc with current limit
0.1C
10
A for 24 hours. Recommended OCV audit intervals are
given in the table below.
2.3 Commissioning Charge
Before conducting a capacity discharge or commencing
cycling, the battery must be given a commissioning charge.
In f oat applications the commissioning charge shall consist
of 7 continuous days of f oat charge at the recommended
f oat voltage (2.29Vpc at 20°C) with no load connected to the
battery. In hybrid applications the commissioning charge
shall consist of 24 hours charge at a voltage equivalent to
2.40 Volts/cell with no load connected.
3. Installation
Whatever your application,
SuperSafe
SBS EON Technology
blocs and cells can be mounted in any orientation except
inverted. However, in cyclic/hybrid applications, EnerSys
recommend to install DIN-sized SBS EON Technology 2V
cells in horizontal orientation. In such conf
guration the
instructions below must be complied with.
•
Do not use terminal posts to lift or handle cells.
•
Do not install the cells in such a way that the box-lid bond
is resting on a runner.
•
Always ensure that the arrow on the lid of each unit is
pointing in vertical orientation.
The battery compartment/room must have adequate
ventilation to limit hydrogen accumulation to a maximum of
1% by volume of free air.
Each monobloc/cell is supplied with the terminal/connector
fasteners.
