2. Safety

2.1 General Safety

The Turbo H1 Series battery is for residential and works with a photovoltaic system. It is a high voltage Li-ion battery storage system, with the control module on itself. It could be operated in on-grid, off-grid and backup modes with compatible inverters. The battery system could be connected to the Internet through network cable for maintenance and firmware updating. Read all safety instructions carefully prior to any work and observe them at all times when working on or with Turbo H1 Series battery. Incorrect operation or work may cause:

• injury or death to the operator or a third party;
• damage to the inverter or other properties.

2.2 Important safety instructions

| DANGER!

• Danger to life due to electric shock when live components or DC cables are touched.
  The DC cables connected to an inverter may be live. Touching live DC cables results in death or serious injury due to electric shock.
  Disconnect the battery system and inverter from voltage sources and make sure it cannot 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 battery system.
  Observe all safety information of the inverter.

| WARNING!

• 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.

• The battery modules and its components should be protected from damage when transporting and handling.
  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.
  The battery modules cannot be stored at high temperatures (more than 50°C).
  The battery modules cannot be stored directly under the sun.
  The battery modules cannot be stored in a high humidity environment.
  Do not use the battery modules if it is defective, or appears cracked, broken or otherwise damaged, or fails to operate.
  Do not attempt to open, disassemble, repair, tamper with, or modify the battery modules. The battery modules are not user-serviceable.
  Do not use cleaning solvents to clean the battery modules

| CAUTION!

• Risk of injury due to weight of the battery module
  Injuries may result if the battery module is lifted incorrectly or dropped while being transported or installed.
  • Transport and lift the battery module carefully. Take the weight of the battery module into account.
  • Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the battery system.

• If the battery is not installed within one month after receiving the battery, the battery must be charged till the SOC is more than 50% for maintains.

NOTICE| NOTICE!
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 for the firefighters to extinguish the fire.

• Damage to the battery system due to under voltages
  If the battery system doesn’t start at all, please contact Renac after-sales service within 48 hours. Otherwise, the battery could be permanently damaged.
