Green Cell AGM Batteries product

WARRANTY CARD

Invoice number
Date of purchase
Product name
Model (product’s code)
Warranty period: 24 months
Stamp

I declare that I have read the terms and conditions stated on the warranty card and I accept them.
Maintenance and servicing of AGM batteries should be carried out only by qualified personnel with the necessary precautions. Unauthorized persons should not operate them.

Please read the following instructions for proper and safe handling of the device
If the battery is handed over to someone else. please also include this manual with it.

ATTENTION
Do not disassemble or modify the battery valves or add water. This procedure is dangerous and voids the warranty of the product.

PRECAUTIONS

The battery may emit flammable gas. To prevent an explosion. keep It away from the fire.
Do not allow a short circuit at the terminals. This can lead to ignition
Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack
Do not attempt to reverse the battery poles/terminals. It can lead to ,ts irreparable damage.
Liquid that can leak from the battery ,s an electrolyte, containing dangerous acid causing damages to skin and eyes. If 11 gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly. If 1t gets in your eyes, rinse them with water or a neutralizing liquid for 1 o minutes and seek medical assistance immediately

TRANSPORTATION

Secure the battery against impact before transportation
It is recommended to transport the battery positioned vertically
Secure the battery terminals before transport.

DAILY INSPECTION AND SERVICE

If the following abnormalities have been observed, identify the problem and replace the damaged batteries.
- Voltage anomalies
- Physical damage (eg housing or poles/ terminals)
- Leakage of electrolyte
Dispose of any dirt on the device with a damp cloth. Do not use organic detergents (e.g .. gasoline). It may damage the body/ case of the device.
When installing the battery as an emergency power supply for fireman’s equipment. check that it meets the safety standards spec,f,c to the equipment it is intended to support.

ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTION

Secure the battery against shocks, impacts or vibrations.
When inserting the battery into the device, place it away from any heat sources. also place 11 In an upright position as low as possible and with the best possible ventilation
The battery may emit flammable gas. Avoid installation in a confined environment or near sources of sparks.
Do not bend or solder the poles.
Avoid using batteries in the following circumstances.
- Under direct sunlight
- ln places with increased heat, radio or ultraviolet radiation
- In places with high levels of organic solvents, vapour, dust or corrosive gases.
- In places with increased shocks or v1brat1ons
When charging, make sure to connect the positive + pole to the positive equivalent of the charger, and the negative pole to the negative equivalent of the charger.
Do not use batteries with different capacities, different parameters, or old and new batteries together.

BATTERY LIFE
Usually the battery life lasts from 3 to 5 years for the buffer operation mode and at least 260 cycles for cyclical operation (260 full discharge cycles). This can decrease if the battery does not work in the proper conditions. The biggest impact that affect the battery life are the parameters of charging, discharging, working and storage conditions and the temperature the batery 1s exposed to. TQ maintain the appropriate parameters for work please replace the battery before the end of its validity. For example· AGM batteries should be replaced depending on the average working temperature. Below you w,11 find detailed information about the recommendations to exchange the battery:
In the average working temperature 25 Celcius degrees. (room temperature) exchange after 3 years; 30 Ce lei us degrees exchange after 2 -5years;
40 Celcius degrees exchange after 16 months

DISCHARGE

The discharge and charging parameters should not exceed (for more than 5 seconds) the values presented in the specification list.
The final voltage and discharging intensity should be the same as ,n table 1. Do not discharge the battery below the values shown in the table. It can shorten the life of the device.
After discharging, recharge the battery immediately. Do not leave the device discharged. The maximum capacity may decrease if the device 1s left drained for a longtime.

CHARGING
For buffer mode:

Charge the battery with a constant voltage of 2.275V I cell (25 C). When charging with an ambient temperature of less than 5 C or more than 35 C and an average temperature of more than 25•c, it is necessary to adjust the charging voltage to temperature. The temperature coeffcient should be -3.3mV / C.
The pre-charge parameters should be 0.3CA (where C ,s the nominal capacity, and A is the intensity) or less.
Recommended ambient temperature when charging the battery is from 5 C to 35•c. This w,11 ensure the longest possible battery life.

For cyclical mode:

Maintain a constant or variable voltage at the level of o2.45V I cell (25 C). When charging at an ambient temperature of less than 5 C, or more than 35 C, the charging parameters must be adapted to the ambient temperature. The factor should be5mV /C.
The pre-charge parameters should be 0.3CA (where C is the nominal capacity, and A is the intensity) or less.
To prevent overcharging, we recommend using a timer to finish the process, otherwise the voltage may drop to 2.275V / cell (25 C).
The recommended ambient temperature when charging the battery is from 5 C to 35 C. This will ensure safety of the battery life.

General warranty principles

CSG S.A. company, based in 30-509 Cracow. Kalwaryjska 33, called further .warrantor”, gives warranty on proper and defect-free product work for whole warranty period stated on page first of Warranty Card, starting with the day of purchase. .
Warrantor gives limited warranty for the time stated on first page of Warranty Card. Reason for that ,s natural wearing off. Lowering of battery capacity below 80% of initial capacity may be the reason for warranty complaint.
Warranty doesn’t limit or suspends client’s right to make a complaint based on implied warranty,
In order to issue a warranty claim client has to deliver the faulty product to warrantor address with a Warranty Card or a copy of invoice and a filled formula of complaint or return, which you can find on our website www.greencell.global.
Warrantor will inform the client about warranty claim result w1th1n 14 days after receiving faulty item. Faulty product will be repaired or exchanged for a new one within 14 days after informing client about decision. If the type of defect is particulary difficult to repair orneed_s additional actions, such us acquiring additional parts, time of repair might be longer. Naturally, warrantor will try to solve the ,ss_ue as quickly as it’s possible. Warrantor can decide on the way that claim should be solved (replacement. repair or refund).
With exclusion of claims issued in terms of .Warranty of sat1sfact1on (placed within 30 days after receiving the product): client covers costs of delivery for a faulty product. Warrantor covers costs of delivery of exchanged or repaired product to client. In case . of international purchases. client should contact warrantor before sending the product.
Warranty won’t be covered if:
- warranty seal is damaged;
- battery was damaged externally (by water, fire or mechanical damage etc.);
- inappropriate use of the battery;
- unauthorized repairs were attempted.
In case of groundless warranty claim of a product. client will be charged for the incurred costs by warrantor.
Warrantor’s responsibility to client is limited to the value of product which this warranty is referring to. It does not cover any other damage, for example losing of data or information saved on memory cards and any other damage caused by inappropriate use of the ,tern. or ,ts damage.
