Publication No: US-SBS-IS-008 - July 2014

Read these instructions immediately upon receipt. PowerSafe ® SBS batteries are safe when operated and handled properly. It is vitally important that you observe the precautions recommended in this instruction sheet.

YOU SHOULD BE TRAINED IN HANDLING, INSTALLING, OPERATING

AND MAINTAINING BATTERIES BEFORE YOU WORK ON ANY BATTERY

SYSTEM.

California Proposition 65 Warning – Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the

State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

When working on batteries wear safety glasses with side shields, rubber gloves and protective clothing. All metallic personal objects, such as rings, watches, bracelets, etc, should be removed before starting work on the battery!

Only use insulated tools!

Electrolyte is corrosive.

In case of SKIN CONTACT with electrolyte, IMMEDIATELY

1. REMOVE contaminated CLOTHING

2. FLUSH the area THOROUGHLY with WATER

3. Get MEDICAL ATTENTION

In case of EYE CONTACT with electrolyte, IMMEDIATELY

1. FLUSH THOROUGHLY for at least 15 minutes with large amounts of WATER.

2. Get MEDICAL ATTENTION.

In case of electrolyte CONTACT WITH CLOTHING OR

MATERIAL, IMMEDIATELY

1. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING

2. Apply large amounts of water to affected area.

3. Wash clothing as soon as possible.

Batteries can generate gases which, when released, can explode, causing blindness and other serious personal injury.

Warning: batteries remain live even though they are disconnected. No rings or metal bracelets should be worn during the assembly of the battery. Do not place electrically conductive objects such as tools etc. on top of the battery!

Warning: cells are heavy, use proper lifting technique.

Do not allow flames, embers or sparks near the battery due to the risk of explosion or fire!

The Instruction Sheet must be strictly observed. Non-compliance with the

Instruction Sheet, use of non OEM spares or use of additives to the electrolyte or unauthorized tampering will void the warranty.

Spent batteries with this symbol are reusable products and have to be put into a recycling system. Used batteries must be disposed of as special waste in accordance with all standards.

WARNING!

PowerSafe ® SBS batteries are supplied in a charged state and are capable of extremely high short circuit currents. Take care to avoid short-circuiting terminals of opposite polarity.

1. Receiving the battery

1.1 In-Transit Damage or Short Shipments

Upon receipt of a shipment, check that the items delivered are undamaged and match the carrier’s Bill of Lading. Report any damage or shortages to the carrier.

EnerSys ® is not responsible for shipment damage or shortages that the receiver does not report to the carrier.

1.2 Shipment Damage or Shortages

Open the shipping containers and check the contents for damage and against the packing slip. Immediately inform EnerSys of any damaged or missing items.

EnerSys is not responsible for damaged or missing items after a shipment has been in storage.

2. Storage

2.1 Storage Conditions and Time

If a battery cannot be immediately installed it should be stored in a clean, cool, dry area.

During storage, the battery’s state of charge is reduced due to self-discharge.

High temperature increases the rate of self-discharge and reduces the storage life.

The chart below shows the relationship between Open-Circuit Voltage (OCV) and storage time at various temperatures. While the batteries are in storage, OCV should be measured according to the OCV audit intervals.

*Storage values indicated are based on constant temperatures.

**Recommended OCV audit interval.

The PowerSafe SBS modules are made up of six cells and must be given a freshening charge when bloc voltages approach the equivalent of 2.10 volts per cell or when the maximum storage time is reached, whichever occurs first.

2.2 Freshening Charge

Charge the module or string of modules at a constant voltage equivalent to 2.27Vpc

with current limited to 10A per 100Ah nominal capacity for a period of at least 24 hours, but with a maximum of 48 hours. Use temperature compensation as indicated in Section 5. Start monitoring the charging current 21 hours after initiating the freshening charge. The charge is complete when the current stabilizes. Do not install in an air tight enclosure.

Completing a freshening charge according to the instruction will reset the storage

OCV audit interval and suggested maximum storage time. If voltage drops below

2.10V contact EnerSys for instruction.

3. Ventilation

The battery compartment/room must have adequate ventilation to limit hydrogen accumulation to a maximum of 1% by volume. The following shows Hydrogen Evolution.

4. Installation

Install the batteries in accordance with instructions below:

1. Refer to layout drawing at the end of this Instruction Sheet.

2. Position batteries into the location required by the application. Do not handle the batteries by terminals as this can damage terminal seals.

3. Ensure the battery terminals, interconnect straps and cable lugs are clean and free of electrolyte corrosion. If the environment is corrosive, a light coating of NO-OX can be applied to the battery terminals prior to installing the connectors on to the terminals.

Install connectors to battery terminals with the specified torque.

4. Recheck the torque on the installed connectors to ensure secure connections.

Do not discharge the battery beyond the voltage cut-off limit for the given discharge rates:

1.80Vpc @ 10 hr rate

1.75Vpc @ 8 hr rate

1.75Vpc @ 5 hr rate

1.70Vpc @ 3 hr rate

1.60Vpc @ 1 hr rate

1.60Vpc @ 15 min rate

Discharging to voltages below these values can result in irrecoverable capacity loss and premature end of life. The float voltage must be applied to the battery as soon as possible, and no later than seven days after any discharge. If it is not, contact EnerSys information.

6. Maintenance

In practice the user usually specifies the maintenance schedule based on site criticality, location and manpower.

The following is a suggested maintenance schedule.

Every Six Months (Record All Readings)

Measure the battery string voltage, temperature, float current, inter-module resistances and internal ohmic values. If necessary, adjust the float voltage to the correct value. Measure individual module voltages.

The individual module voltages must be within ± 0.30V of the nominal float voltage. Inspect for contamination by dust and loose or corroded connections. Corrosion can be caused by environmental factors and/or battery electrolyte. Batteries and interconnect straps with electrolyte corrosion should be replaced. Corrosion due to electrolyte typically originates at the base of the battery terminal with a wet appearance and propagates outward while being localized to the terminal(s). Light corrosion that is dry in appearance and relatively uniform across all connections may be environmental corrosion. Batteries with light environmental corrosion do not need to be replaced if connection surfaces were protected from corrosion with NO-OX. If environmental corrosion is suspected, clean with a water dampened clean cloth and cover metal conductors with NO-OX. Do not use solvents or scouring powders to clean the modules.

7. Disposal

PowerSafe ® SBS batteries are recyclable. Scrap batteries must be packaged and transported in accordance with prevailing transportation rules and regulations.

Scrap batteries must be disposed of in compliance with local and national laws by a licensed or certified lead acid battery recycler.

5. Operation

Constant voltage chargers are recommended. The acceptable float voltage range is

2.27-2.29Vpc at 68ºF (20ºC) and 2.25-2.27Vpc at 77ºF (25ºC).

The minimum charging voltage, at any temperature, is 2.21Vpc.

The recommended float voltage temperature compensation is:
