• Never clean the system or system parts
using a vapour jet or spray water. Dirt and
water may enter the system and cause
major damage.
• Use only a moist and clean cotton cloth for
cleaning.
5.1 Storage
Before being placed in storage the battery should be
charged to 30 % SOC and disconnected from both
the vehicle and the charger
and switched off
. The
Sonnenschein Lithium Material Handling Battery sys-
tem has a very low self-discharge and can be put into
storage for up to 12 months. It must then be
recharged (see section 4.3)
If batteries are taken out of service, they should be
stored in a dry and frost free room.
Please find the minimum and maximum storage tem-
perature in table 1.
6. DISPLAY (OPTIONAL)
The display can be seen in Figure 2 below.
Figure 2 Display
The display will show both a bar and text value of the
State of Charge (SOC) of the battery from 100 to 0 %
The LED on the right of the gauge will flash from 10%
