• LAYOUT
Charging
•
Standby use: Apply constant voltage charging at 2.275 volts
per cell (or 2.25–2.30VPC).
• Cyclic use: Apply constant voltage charging at 2.40-2.50 VPC.
Initial charging current should be set at less than 0.25CA.
• Top charge: Product in storage (ambient temperature 25°C/77°F)
requires a top charge every six months. Apply constant voltage at
2.40 volts per cell, initial charging current should be set at
less than 0.1CA for 15 to 20 hours.
Discharge
•
Stop operation when voltage has reached the minimum
permissible voltage. Recharge immediately.
• Do not operate above 6CA or more current continuously.
Storage
• Always store battery in a fully charged condition.
• If battery is to be stored for a long period, apply a recovery
top-charge every 6 months.
• Store batteries in a dry and cool location.
Temperature
• Keep within ambient temperatures of –15
0
C to +50
0
C for both
charging and discharging.
Incorporating battery into equipment
• Install battery in a well ventilated compartment.
• Avoid installing battery near heated units such as a transformer.
• House the battery in the lowest section of the equipment
enclosure or rack to prevent unnecessary battery temperature
rise.
Others
• Avoid terminal short circuit.
• Avoid exposure of the ABS container and cover material to PVC-based
rubber mats or spacers
• DO NOT expose to open flame .
• WARNING - Avoid exposure of the battery to any type of
oil, solvent, detergent, petroleum-based solvent or ammonia
solution. These materials could potentially cause permanent
damage to the battery jar and cover and will void the warranty.
