If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated shoes.

Lead: Wash immediately with soap and water.

Eyes:

Sulfuric Acid and Lead: Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while lifting lids

Seek immediate medical attention if eyes have been exposed directly to acid.

V. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash Point: N/A Flammable Limits: LEL = 4.1% (Hydrogen Gas)

Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide; foam; dry chemical. Avoid breathing vapors. Use appropriate media for surrounding fire.

UEL = 74.2% (Hydrogen Gas)

Special Fire Fighting Procedures:

If batteries are on charge, shut off power. Use positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus. Water applied to electrolyte generates heat and causes it to spatter. Wear acid-resistant clothing, gloves, face and eye protection.

Note that strings of series connected batteries may still pose risk of electric shock even when charging equipment is shut down.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:

Highly flammable hydrogen gas is generated during charging and operation of batteries. To avoid risk of fire or explosion, keep sparks or other sources of ignition away from batteries. Do not allow metallic materials to simultaneously contact negative and positive terminals of cells and batteries. Follow manufacturer's instructions for installation and service.

VI. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE

Spill or Leak Procedures:

Stop flow of material, contain/absorb small spills with dry sand, earth, and vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials. If possible, carefully neutralize spilled electrolyte with soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc. Wear acid-resistant clothing, boots, gloves, and face shield. Do not allow discharge of unneutralized acid to sewer. Acid must be managed in accordance with local, state, and federal requirements.

Consult state environmental agency and/or federal EPA.

VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling:

Unless involved in recycling operations, do not breach the casing or empty the contents of the battery.

There may be increasing risk of electric shock from strings of connected batteries.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. If battery case is broken, avoid contact with internal components.

Keep vent caps on and cover terminals to prevent short circuits. Place cardboard between layers of stacked automotive batteries to avoid damage and short circuits.

Keep away from combustible materials, organic chemicals, reducing substances, metals, strong oxidizers and water. Use banding or stretch wrap to secure items for shipping.

Storage:

Store batteries in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas with impervious surfaces and adequate containment in the event of spills. Batteries should also be stored under roof for protection against adverse weather conditions. Separate from incompatible materials. Store and handle only in areas with adequate water supply and spill control. Avoid damage to containers. Keep away from fire, sparks and heat. Keep away from metallic objects which could bridge the terminals on a battery and create a dangerous short-circuit.

Charging:

There is a possible risk of electric shock from charging equipment and from strings of series connected batteries, whether or not being charged. Shut-off power to chargers whenever not in use and before detachment of any circuit connections. Batteries being charged will generate and release flammable hydrogen gas.

Charging space should be ventilated. Keep battery vent caps in position. Prohibit smoking and avoid creation of flames and sparks nearby.

Wear face and eye protection when near batteries being charged.

Cold/Hot Soaked Temperature

Exposing the unit for one (1) hour or more to the ambient temperature establishes the unit’s cold/hot soaked stabilization temperature. If the unit’s cold/hot soaked temperature is outside the normal operating temperature range, the unit must be stabilized prior to operation. For COLD SOAKED tem perature stabilization, the unit must be placed in an environment with a temperature above +10°C (+41°F) for 3 hours or a temperature above +20°C (+68°F) for 2 hours. For HOT SOAKED temperature stabilization, the unit must be placed in an environment with a temperature below +38°C (+100°F) for 1 hour.

Hot Soaked or Cold Soaked Defi nition

Simple terms: When a material is exposed to a change in temperature, its temperature will also change.

Some material changes temperature quickly, others slowly. If the ambient temperature changes and is then held constant, the materials temperature will also change until its temperature stabilizes. Once the material temperature has stabilized, it is considered “soaked”.

Example: A unit is moved from the cool shade into the hot sun. That unit’s temperature will increase until it stabilizes. Once stabilized, the unit would be considered “hot soaked”.

!

NOTE

The unit’s temperature switch automatically disables ac power functions when the internal temperature is above 150°F (65°C). This protects the unit from overheating and damage. If the unit shuts down, move the unit into a cooler climate, such as shade or air conditioning when possible. Perform a full function test prior to use after the unit has been allowed to cool.

6.1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why should I buy a Tesla™ Turbo Start™ System?

Tesla™ Turbo Start™ is a multi-functional system that are ideal for support of 24 Vdc vehicles and aircraft and their electronics/avionics on the bench. Tesla™ manufactures various systems of different sizes and capacities that are manportable, maintenance free and provide pure, dc power in a completely safe package. Designed for Military applications, these systems are equally valuable in maintenance support at the main facility or in remote locations. They are easily transported and air-portable. They will also provide 28.5 Vdc when the system is connected to the appropriate ac source.

2. How does a Turbo Start™ work?

The Turbo Start™ combines state of the art power conversion electronics with our proprietary “dry cell” batteries. The system’s electronics incorporate an intelligent charging system for the cells. The cells are ideal for this application as they are non-spillable, absorbed electrolyte dry cells that are sealed, maintenance free and safe for air transport.

3. How is Turbo Start™ used in Aviation Support?

There are many ways a Turbo Start™ will benefi t your operation. By using it for pre-fl ight testing, you will avoid depleting the aircraft’s battery. You can start the aircraft’s engine with the Turbo Start™ as well. In the hangar, when connected to ac power, the Turbo Start™ will provide 28.5 Vdc for avionics testing and will also recondition and recharge the aircraft’s battery. Another benefi t is the ability to fl y with the Turbo Start™ aboard your aircraft. You may take the Turbo Start™ anywhere you travel, ensuring that you will always have power.

4. How much power will my Turbo Start™ provide?

Depending on the system, the Turbo Start™ will provide anywhere from 1500 to 3500 peak starting amps, 25 to 400 continuous amps dc and 23 to 96 hours of rechargeable power. See our website (www.teslaind.com) to determine the proper Turbo Start™ for your needs.

5. Will a Tesla™ Turbo Start™ spool up a turbine engine?

Nothing will start a turbine engine faster or safer than the right Tesla™ Turbo Start™. Not only will it eliminate hot starts, but it will extend the life of your starter, your engine and your battery while reducing maintenance. The Turbo Start™ senses the impedance from the starter/generator. It then provides the exact power required throughout the start-up curve.

6. How many engine starts will my Turbo Start™ provide until it is depleted?

The Turbo Start™ back-charges, almost instantly, once the vehicle / aircraft is started and the generator is on line. This

“power fl ywheel” feature enables the Turbo Start™ to recharge itself right from the vehicle it started in less than 30 seconds. You can go down the line in your motor pool and start every 24V vehicle, without limit!

7. How do you prolong the life of the Turbo Start’s cells?

All you need to do is plug the unit in to the appropriate ac power outlet the system requires. AC power will recharge the system and keep the cells healthy. Users who regularly plug the system in can expect to get 5-7 years from their cells before they need to be replaced. Tesla™ cells do not have a memory like cell phone batteries. There is no need to fully discharge them. The recharging system will not overcharge the unit or produce excess heat.

8. Is it waterproof?

Water-resistant but not waterproof (See Environmental Section).

The data presented covers the maximum range of conditions and performance that can reasonably be expected. In each area of performance, the effects of temperature and dc electrical load demand relating to the ground power support requirements are presented. Wherever practical, data is presented conservatively.

However, NO GENERAL CONSERVATISM HAS BEEN APPLIED. All performance data presented is within the applicable limits of the unit

7.3 – Data Basis

The type of data used is indicated at the bottom of each performance chart under DATA BASIS. The applicable report and date of the data are also given. The data provided generally are based on one of three categories:

A. Derived From Actual Controlled Testing: Controlled test data obtained on a similar unit type.

B.

C.

Calculated Data: Data based on tests, but not on a similar unit type placed under a controlled test.

Estimated Data: Data based on estimates using rules of physics, mathematics, and electrical engineering principles and concepts, but not verifi ed by tests.

7.4 – Specifi c Conditions

The data presented are accurate only for specifi c conditions listed under the title of each chart or graph.

Variables for which data are not presented, but which may affect that phase of performance, are discussed in associated text.

7.5 – General Conditions

In addition to the specifi c conditions, the following general conditions are applicable to the performance data.

A.

B.

Variation in Aircraft: Power demand differences between individual aircraft of the same make and model are known to exist due to variations in dc electrical system effi ciency. These differences, however, are considered insignifi cant and are not individually accounted for.

Ground Support and Aircraft Instrument Variations: The data shown in the performance charts do not account for instrument tolerance differences or inaccuracies.
