and equipment. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install the battery. If there are
any questions about safety, contact VALEN before installing the batteries.
Tips:
• Using the battery correctly along with the below tips will extend the batteries life and prevent it
from premature failure.
• If the batteries BMS Low Voltage Disconnects cuts out, remove the load and recharge as soon as
possible. To prevent your system from shutting down, it is recommended to use an LVD on the
load output. This will allow the load to cut off before the BMS cuts the battery off.
• If the battery goes into its over-discharge protection voltage range, ensure the battery is
recharged within 7days.
• For optimum life, batteries in storage should be recharged periodically.
• The ideal storage temperature is 25°C.
• Batteries should be fully charged before being stored.
• Keep lithium batteries away from high temperatures.
• If the battery shows any signs of deformation, heat or emits smells, immediately discontinue use
and remove it from the application
2.1 Delivery Inspection:
Immediately upon delivery, inspect the batteries for damage caused in transit. Damaged pallets or
packing material or disarrayed batteries could indicate rough, improper handling in transit. Describe
in detail (take photographs) any damage on the delivery receipt before signing. If any damage is
found, contact the carrier immediately, request an inspection and file a damage claim.
2.2 Hidden Damage
Within 10 days of receipt, inspect all batteries for hidden damage. Measure and record open-circuit
voltages (OCV’s). If any damage is found, request an inspection by the carrier and file a hidden
damage claim. Do not delay this step as it may result in a loss of the right of reimbursement for
hidden damage.
2.3 Prior to Installation
Prior to installation always inspect the battery, casing and connections. Ensure it’s all in good
working order. Check the OCV and ensure the battery is charged.
2.3.1 Installation with multiple units
Prior to installation of multiple units in one system, check their OCV and ensure they’re all within
0.2VDC of each other. This is to avoid high in or out rush currents which could arise from different
states of charge over multiple batteries.
