For example: If a battery has a design life of 20 years at

77°F (25°C), but the actual annual average battery

temperature is 95°F (35°C), the projected life of the

battery is calculated to be only 10 years.

The battery temperature shall not be allowed to exceed

50°C (122°F). Minimum battery temperature is -40°C

(-40°F). Temperature records shall be maintained by the

user in accordance with the maintenance schedule pub-

lished in this manual.

5.3

Temperature Variations

Sources of heat or cooling directed on portions of the bat-

tery can cause temperature variations within the strings

resulting in cell voltage differences and eventual compro-

mise of battery performance.

Heat sources such as heaters, sunlight or associated

equipment can cause such temperature variations.

Similarly, air conditioning or outside air vents may cause

cell string temperature variations. Every effort should be

made to keep temperature variations within 3°C (5°F).

5.4

Ventilation

The Absolyte battery is a Valve Regulated Lead Acid

(VRLA) low maintenance design. Tests have confirmed

that under recommended operating conditions in station-

ary applications, 99% or more of gases generated are

recombined within the cell. In most cases, no special

ventilation and or battery room is required. Consult your

local building and fire codes for requirements that may

apply to your specific location.

Hydrogen and oxygen gases can be vented to the atmos-

phere under certain conditions. Therefore, the battery should

never be installed in an air-tight enclosure. Sufficient pre-

cautions must be taken to prevent excessive overcharge.

5.5

Floor Loading

The floor of the area where the battery system is to be

installed should have the capability of supporting the

weight of the battery as well as any auxiliary equipment.

The total battery weight will depend on the cell size, num-

ber of cells, as well as module configuration involved.

Consult layout/wiring diagram for the battery system

weight Prior to installation, a determination should be

made that the floor integrity is adequate to accommodate

the battery system.

5.6

Floor Anchoring

Where seismic conditions are anticipated, floor anchoring

should be provided. Such anchoring is the responsibility

of the user.

Where non-seismic conditions are anticipated, anchoring

is recommended for maximum stability.

Four 9/16” (14.3 mm) holes are provided in the I-Beam for

anchoring.

5.7

Connecting Cables:

Battery System to Operating Equipment

The Absolyte cell is a UL recognized component.

Battery performance is based on the output at the battery

terminals. Therefore, the shortest electrical connections

between the battery system and the operating equipment

results in maximum total system performance.

DO NOT SELECT CABLE SIZE BASED ON CURRENT

CARRYING CAPACITY ONLY. Cable size selection

should provide no greater voltage drop between the bat-

tery system and operating equipment than necessary.

Excess voltage drop will reduce the desired support time

of the battery system.

5.7.1 Paralleling

Where it is necessary to connect battery strings in paral-

lel in order to obtain sufficient load backup time, it is

important to minimize the differences in voltage drop

between the battery strings in parallel in order to promote

equal load sharing upon discharge. Therefore, equal

resistance of cable connections for each parallel string is

important. When paralleling multiple strings to a load or

common bus, please follow these guidelines:

• Each parallel string must have the same number of cells

(same string voltage).

• The cables connecting the positive and negative termi-

nals of each string to the load (or bus) should be of the

same size

(i.e. same capacity/cross-sectional area).

• The cables connecting the positive and negative termi-

nals of each string to the load (or bus) should be of the

same length

. Choose the shortest cable length that will

connect the battery string that is furthest from the load,

and cut all cables used to connect each string to the load

to this same length.
