Installation, commissioning and operating instructions for valve-regulated stationary lead-acid batteries

1 General information
The electrolyte of sealed lead-acid batteries is fixed in a glass fiber fleece (AGM) or gel. Therefore an upright
or horizontal installation of battery cells or blocks is basically possible. The generation of oxyhydrogen gas is
extremely reduced by an internal recombination circle. Sealed lead-acid battery cells or battery blocks are not
sealed gas tightly. The integrated valve has to open by pressure overload. Sealed lead-acid batteries must
not be opened. HOPPECKE offers numerous sealed lead-acid batteries as single cells (nominal voltage 2 V) or
blocks (nominal tension:6 V or 12 V) for different applications.
1.1 Safety precautions
Danger!
Read this documentation carefully and completely before performing any tasks using the batte-
ries. This documentation contains important information regarding the safe and correct unpacking,
storage, installation commissioning, operation and maintenance of filled lead-acid batteries.
Danger!
To ensure your own safety as well as the safety of your colleagues and the system, it is essential
that you have read and understood all instructions in this documentation and adhere to them
strictly. If you have not understood the information contained in this documentation or if local
regulations and conditions apply which are not covered by the documentation (or run contrary to
the information in this documentation), please contact your local HOPPECKE representative. You
can also contact us at our head office directly.
Danger!
If you are conducting any work on or with the battery system, it is essential that you familiarize
yourself with the installation, operation and maintenance of lead-acid batteries.
1.2 Technical data
1.2.1 Example for single cell
Each single cell/each battery block has an own identification plate on the top side of the cell/block cap. Refer
to the example below.
Example: The information on the identification plate is as follows:
5 OPzV 250
5
= number of positive plates
OPzV = battery type
250 = Nominal capacity C
10
(capacity during discharge with ten
hours´ current (I
10
) over a discharge time of 10 h (t
10
))
267 = actual capacity C
10
(capacity of discharge with 10 h
current)
5 OPzV 250
2V 250Ah C
N
/ 267 Ah C
10

non spillable
1.2.2 Identification plate battery
The identification plate of the entire battery system can be found on the
battery rack or inside the battery cabinet.
The nominal voltage, the number of cells/blocks, the nominal capacity
(C
10
= C
N
) and the battery type are listed on the identification plate of
the system.

1.3 CE-Mark
Effective as of 1 January 1997, the EC declaration of conformity 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage
Directive) and the corresponding CE marking for the battery system are required for batteries with
a nominal voltage between 75 V and 1500 V DC.
The installer of the battery system is responsible for displaying the declaration and affixing the CE
label on or next to the battery’s identification plate.
1.4 Disposal and recycling
Attention!
Used batteries with this marking are recyclable goods and must be sent for recycling.
Used batteries which are not sent for recycling are to be disposed of as special waste
under all relevant regulations.
We offer our customers our own battery return system. All lead acid batteries are taken to the
secondary lead smelting plant at our HOPPECKE site, observing the provisions of the German
– recycling and waste law
– battery regulations
– transport approval regulations
– together with the general principles of environmental protection and our own corporate guidelines.
The HOPPECKE smelting plant is the only lead smelter in Europe certified under
– DIN EN ISO 9001 (processes and procedures),
– DIN EN ISO 14001 (environmental audit),
– and specialist disposal regulations covering specialist disposal with all associated waste codes
for storage, treatment and recycling.
