1.4 Battery Safety Datasheet
1.4.1. Hazard Information
Classification of the hazardous chemical
Exempt from classification according to Australian WHS regulations.
Other hazards
This product is a Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery with certified compliance under the UN
Recommendations on Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection
38.3. For the battery cell, chemical materials are stored in a hermetically sealed metal case, designed
to withstand temperatures and pressures encountered during normal use. As a result, during normal
use, there is no physical danger of ignition or explosion and chemical danger of hazardous materials'
leakage. However, if the product is exposed to afire, added mechanical shocks, decomposed, added
electric stress by misuse, the gas release vent will be operated. The battery cell case will be breached
at the extreme. Hazardous materials may be released. Moreover, if heated strongly by the surrounding
fire, acrid or harmful fume may be emitted.

1.5 General Precautions
DANGER
Danger to life due to high voltages of the PV array, battery and electric shock. When exposed to
sunlight, the PV array generates dangerous DC voltage which will be present in the DC conductors and
the live components of the inverter. Touching the DC conductors or the live components can lead to
lethal electric shocks. If you disconnect the DC connectors from the system under load, an electric arc
may occur leading to electric shock and burns.
•
Do not touch uninsulated cable ends.
•
Do not touch the DC.
•
Do not open the inverter and battery.
•
Do not wipe the system with damp cloth.
•
Have the system installed and commissioned by qualified people with the appropriate skills only.
•
Prior to performing any work on the inverter or the battery pack, disconnect the inverter from all
voltage sources as described in this document.

WARNING
Risk of chemical burns from electrolyte or toxic gases. During standard operation, no electrolyte shall
leak from the battery pack and no toxic gases shall form. Despite careful construction, if the Battery
Pack is damaged or a fault occurs, it is possible that electrolyte may be leaked or toxic gases formed.
•
Do not install the system in any environment of temperature below -25°C or over 60°C and in
which humidity is over 95%.
•
Do not touch the system with wet hands.
•
Do not put any heavy objects on top of the system.
•
Do not damage the system with sharp objects.
•
Do not install or operate the system in potentially explosive atmospheres or areas of high
humidity.
•
Do not mount the inverter and the battery pack in areas containing highly flammable materials
or gases.
•
If moisture has penetrated the system (e.g. due to a damaged enclosure), do not install or
operate the system.
•
Do not move the system when it is already connected with battery modules. Secure the system
to prevent tipping with restraining straps in your vehicle.
•
The transportation of GreenE 8K/10K/12K must be made by the manufacturer or An instructed
personal. These instructions shall be recorded and repeated.
•
A certified ABC fire extinguisher with minimum capacity of 2kg must be carried along when
transporting.
•
It is totally prohibited to smoke in the vehicle as well as close to the vehicle when loading and
unloading.
•
For the exchange of a battery module, please request for new hazardous goods packaging if
needed, pack it and let it be picked up by the suppliers.
•
In case of contact with electrolyte, rinse the affected areas immediately with water and consult
a doctor without delay.
CAUTION
Risk of injury through lifting or dropping the system. The inverter and battery are heavy. There is risk
of injury if the inverter or battery is lifted incorrectly or dropped during transport or when attaching to
or removing from the wall.
•
Lifting and transporting the inverter and battery must be carried out by more than 2 people.
