General: The purpose of this manual is to inform installers how to receive, install and maintain C&D Technologies front access batteries. Battery Description: The Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) battery is a minimal maintenance system utilizing an oxygen recombination cycle to minimize gassing and eliminate electrolyte maintenance. The dilute sulfuric acid electrolyte is immobilized by absorbent glass mat (AGM) separators.

III. Storage Instructions Store batteries in a clean, dry, cool area away from radiant heat sources. Recharge batteries in storage at least every 6 months or before their OCV declines to 12.48 VDC. Follow instructions as outlined in Section VI. Freshening Charge. IV. Installation Instructions-Required Installation Tools & Room Equipment At a minimum, the following tools and equipment are required to install VRLA batteries.

Series -48VDC connection of individual front access batteries Step 1. If installing in a multiple tier rack or cabinet arrangement, always begin with the lowest shelf, string A, place each the individual front access batteries on the shelf (typically 4 per level) with approximately 1/2 inch spacing between the individual units. All the batteries should be placed with terminals to the front of the rack / shelf. Remove and save terminal protectors. Step 2.

Series +24VDC connection of individual front access batteries Step 1. If installing in a multiple tier rack or cabinet arrangement, always begin with the lowest shelf, string A & B, place each the individual front access batteries on the shelf (typically 4 per level) with approximately 1/2 inch spacing between the individual units. All the batteries should be placed with terminals to the front of the rack / shelf. Remove and save terminal protectors. Step 2.

V. Optional Gas Collection System Installation (tubing kit PN 15028596) TEL Series Models with ‘G’ in the product suffix (i.e. TEL12-105FNSG) include a gas collection system feature which allows the hydrogen and oxygen gases that may vent from the battery to be directed to a specific cabinet exit location by the installation of 6mm or ¼” ID PVC tubing.
