For further clarity, this warranty is void if the Battery:
1. continually operates (charge or discharge) below or above its authorized temperature range (as
measured and logged by the Battery internal data logger),
2. operates at an average temperature exceeding 30 degrees Celsius / 86 degrees Fahrenheit over the life
of the Battery(as measured and logged by the Battery internal data logger),
3. surpasses annual or average annual Energy Throughput thresholds which indicates the system is
undersized (as measured and logged by the Battery internal data logger),
4. is not maintained in accordance with the parameters as set forth in the English language version of the
Operating Manual(all warnings and faults are measured and logged by the Battery internal data logger),
5. is charged with a battery charger, charging algorithm or unregulated charge source that has not
been approved by Discover as set forth in the English language version of the Operating Manual(as
measured and logged by the Battery internal data logger),
6. is subjected to excess vibration as might be caused by out of balance or improperly operated pads in
oor burnishing machines (as measured and logged by the Battery internal data logger),
7. data logger is destroyed or altered,
8. manufacturing date codes, safety certication numbers or serial and tracking numbers are destroyed or
altered,
9. is disassembled, altered, or repaired by someone other than an authorized Discover agent,
10. sustains shipping or installation damage,
11. is not installed with adequate balance of system components,
12. is directly connected to a DC motors without proper safety protection, motor controllers, and external
motor voltage clamping systems,
13. is not properly protected from inrush currents, or
14. is not registered leading to a failure to install system updates or upgrades when provided or to provide
data logged information upon request.
IMPORTANT: PROPERLY PROTECT THE BATTERY WITHIN THE OVERALL INSTALLATION
Proper grounding, isolation, fusing, breakers and disconnects must be correctly used throughout the balance
of systems to effectively isolate and protect all components of the system against faults, short circuits, reverse
polarity or component failure. The sizing of all system components should be determined using established
electrical codes and standards and evaluated by certied engineers, electricians, and licensed installers.
Although every Battery has system protection and fuses to protect the Battery from operation outside of its
pre-set limits, additional balance of system protections must always be included (such as charge controllers)
to protect the Battery from high voltage sources such as open PV voltage. The internal circuitry, protection and
fusing will not protect the Battery from extreme electrical phenomena.
CAUTION: DC MOTOR BREAKING VOLTAGE SPIKES
In operation, DC motors build up a lot of energy (like a rubber band). When the Battery reaches its low voltage
fault level and the Battery’s BMS disconnects or interrupts the load, this built up load energy has to go
somewhere! This energy cannot be used as current or amperage ow any longer and converts to high voltage
spikes when the motor is breaking or stopping. This happens quickly and aggressively and can damage the
Battery’s BMS electronics. Direct connection to DC motors without proper safety protection, motor controllers,
and external motor voltage clamping systems (such as high power anti-parallel diodes or braking resistor
systems) may result in damage to the internal Battery protection system,creating unsafe system conditions,and
will void the warranty.
