IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The system has been designed and tested under international safety requirements. However, to prevent personal injury and property damage and ensure long-term operation of the system, please do read this section carefully and observe all safety information at all times.

Battery module leakage
If the battery modules leak electrolytes, contact with the leaking liquid or gas should be avoided. The electrolyte is corrosive, and the contact may cause skin irritation and chemical burns. If one is exposed to the leaked substance, do these actions:

  • Inhalation: Evacuate the contaminated area and seek medical help immediately.
  • Eye contact: Rinse eyes with flowing water for 15 minutes and seek medical help immediately.
  • Skin contact: Wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water and seek medical help immediately.
  • Ingestion: Induce vomiting and seek medical help immediately.

Firefighting measures
The battery modules may catch fire when it is put into the fire. In case of a fire, please make sure that an ABC or carbon dioxide extinguisher is nearby. Water cannot be used to extinguish the fire.
Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus are required for the firefighters to extinguish the fire.

Battery modules handling and storage guide

  • The battery modules and its components should be protected from damage when transporting and handling.
  • The weight of the system may cause injury risk. Please take the weight of the system into account while the system is transported and lifted carefully.
  • Do not impact, pull, drag, or step on the battery modules.
  • Do not insert unrelated objects into any part of the battery modules.
  • Do not throw the battery module into a fire.
  • Do not soak the battery modules in water or seawater.
  • Do not expose to strong oxidizers.
  • Do not short circuit the battery modules.

  • Do not use cleaning solvents to clean the battery modules.
  • The battery module should be stored in an environment with a temperature range between -10 °C~+50°C, and charged reg ularly according to the table be low w ith no more than 0.5 C (A C-rate is a measure of the rate at which a battery is discharged relative to its maximum capacity. ) to the SOC of 30% after a long time of storage.

Storage environment

temperature

| Relative humidity of the storage environment| Storage time| SOC
---|---|---|---
Below -10℃| /| Not allowed| /
-10~25℃| 5%~70%| ≤ 12 months| 25%≤SOC≤60%
25~35℃| 5%~70%| ≤ 6 months| 25%≤SOC≤60%
35~50℃| 5%~70%| ≤ 3 months| 25%≤SOC≤60%
Above 50℃| /| Not allowed| /

Warning of electric shock
It is a danger to life due to electric shock when live components or DC cables are touched.
The DC cables connected to the system may be live. Touching live DC cables results in death or serious injury due to electric shock.

  • Disconnect the battery from a voltage source and make sure it can not be reconnected before working on the device.
  • Do not touch non-insulated parts or cables.
  • Do not remove the terminal block with the connected DC conductors from the slot under load.
  • Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the system.

Notice of property damage
If the battery system doesn’t start at all, please contact BYD authorized service partner within 48 hours. Otherwise, the battery could be permanently damaged.
When the system is installed, it needs to be able to charge and discharge to avoid a deep discharge condition. After the installation, this needs to be checked once a month. If the battery system is not working normally, please get in contact with your local service partner.
During the storage of the battery system, please mind the maximum storage time.

Surge protection
Over voltages (e. g. in the event of a flash of lightning) can be further conducted into the building and to other connected devices in the same network via the network cables or other data cables if there is no surge protection.
Ensure that the system is integrated into the existing surge protection.

Safety Information of the inverter manufacturer
Please read and observe all safety information of the inverter manufacturer.
