Do not continue to use the battery modules after a short circuit.
Do not deep-discharge the battery modules.
In the event that module contents are released:
Do not enter the room under any circumstance.
Avoid contact with the escaping electrolyte.
Contact the fire services.
2.7
Conduct in case of a fire
Fire may occur with electrical equipment despite its careful design. Likewise, a fire in the
vicinity of the equipment can cause the storage system to catch fire, releasing the
contents of the battery modules.
In the event of a fire in the vicinity of the product or in the storage system itself, proceed
as follows:
Only firefighters with appropriate protective equipment (safety gloves, safety
clothing, face guard, breathing protection) are permitted to enter the room
where the burning storage system is located.
There is a danger of electrocution when extinguishing fire while the storage system is
switched on. Therefore, before starting to extinguish the fire:
Switch off the storage system to electrically isolate it.
Switch off the main switch in the building.
If the storage system and/or main switch cannot be safely switched off:
Observe the minimum distances specified for the extinguishing agent used. The
storage system works with an output voltage of 230 V (AC) and is therefore
considered a low-voltage system.
-
A storage system fire can be extinguished using conventional extinguishing
agents.
-
Water is recommended as an extinguishing agent in order to cool the battery
modules and therefore, prevent thermal runaway in battery modules which are
still intact.
