Warnings & Precaution

Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries are an inherently safe chemistry.

However, safety measures should always be taken. Adhere to the instructions within this User Manual for safe handling and operation.

Warnings:

• Indoor use only.
• Do not charge with a charge voltage above 58.8V.
• Do not charge nor discharge battery when ambient temperature is above 55 °C (131 °F).
• Do not install battery where it may contact conductive materials, water, seawater, strong oxidizers, nor strong acids.
• Do not install battery in a location exposed to direct sun, hot surfaces, nor hot locations.
• Do not install batteries in a tight clearance compartment, overheating may result.
• Keep any flammable/combustible material (e.g. paper, cloth, plastic, etc.) that may be ignited by heat, sparks, flames, or any other heat source at a minimum distance of two feet away from the batteries.
• Disconnect batteries immediately if, during operation or charging, they emit an unusual smell, develop heat, or behave abnormally.
• Have a Class ABC or Class BC fire extinguisher on the premises.

Precautions

• Handle batteries and/or battery-powered devices cautiously to not damage the battery casing or connections.
• Do not charge battery if ambient temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F), nor discharge battery if ambient temperature is below -30 °C (-22 °F).
• Before storing battery for more than 6 months, charge the battery to 53V or above.
• For long-term storage, disconnect batteries from your power system.
• Always wear protective gear when handling batteries.
• Do not place any objects on top of batteries.
• Make sure all cable connections are properly tightened.
• Install and remove batteries using the handles provided.
