4.2 Battery Installation
● Do not install the battery in a place where it is exposed to direct sunlight or sources of heat (e.g. engine compartments, engine
exhaust systems, electrical/hydraulic pumps or any other device which generates heat under normal or exceptional operating
conditions)
● Keep any flammable material away from the battery and its connected loads or chargers
● Do not install in compartments with zero clearance, always leave space around the battery for ventilation and cooling
● Li-ion batteries must always be kept in a well ventilated, dry, clean and dust-free environment
● Never expose the battery to fire or extreme heat
● Keep the battery dry and clean from dirt
● Battery surface should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth made of non-electro conductive material
● Under no circumstances should liquids, cleaning agents or solvents be used to clean a battery
4.3 Precautions for battery serial connection
● Check table 2.1 if serial connection is possible for a specific battery model
● Maximum number of batteries that can be connected in series is listed in table 2.1
● The batteries connected in series must be of the same model, voltage and preferably from the same batch
● Before connecting batteries in series all batteries must be fully charged
4.4 Precautions for battery parallel connection
● Check table 2.1 if parallel connection is possible for a specific battery model
● Maximum number of batteries in parallel is listed in table 2.1
● The batteries connected in parallel should be of the same model, voltage and preferably from the same batch
● Ensure that all parallel wires are identical (length, section and insulation)
● Before connecting batteries in parallel all batteries must be fully charged
The batteries equipped with Bluetooth can be monitored with a mobile phone using the Exide Application. Features that can be
monitored in the app include: battery voltage, current, state of charge, temperature, cycle count and alarms.The Exide Mobile
Application can be downloaded from App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android).

● Contact with eyes: Rinse eyes with flowing water for 15 minutes, and seek medical attention
● Contact with skin: Wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water, and seek medical attention
● Ingestion: Induce vomiting, and seek medical attention
6.2 Fire
● Use CO2, Dry Powder or Foam extinguisher if available
● Use copious amounts of water or sand to cover the battery if available
● If possible and safe to do so, move the battery pack to a safe area
6.3 Damaged Batteries
Damaged batteries may be dangerous and must be handled carefully. If a battery is damaged do not use it and contact your local
dealer.
