WARNING – RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Residual voltage is always present on DC terminals, and the battery
modules cannot be turned off.
Avoid contact with terminals.
When working on the storage system:
-
Take off metallic jewellery.
-
Turn off the storage system.
-
Use insulated tools.
-
Wear personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, insulated
gloves, and safety shoes.
The battery modules installed in the storage system are protected by
multiple protective devices and can be operated safely. Despite their
careful design, the battery cells inside the battery modules may corrode or
experience thermal runaway in the event of mechanical damage, heat or a
fault.
This can have the following effects:
-
High heat generation on the surface of the battery cells.
-
Electrolyte may escape.
-
The escaping electrolyte may ignite and cause an explosive flame.
-
The smoke from burning battery modules can irritate the skin, eyes and
throat.
Therefore, proceed as follows:
Do not open the battery modules.
Do not mechanically damage the battery modules (pierce, deform,
strip down, etc.)
Do not modify the battery modules.
Do not allow the battery modules to come into contact with water
(except when extinguishing a fire in the storage system).
Do not heat the battery modules. Operate them only within the
permissible temperature range.
Keep the battery modules well away from sources of ignition.
Do not short-circuit the battery modules. Do not allow them to come
into contact with metal.
