The battery is protected by the BMS packaged inside the unit. This control module contains safety components and logic to control the main contactor, preventing the operation of the battery in unsafe or abusive conditions.

BATTERY ARCHITECTURE

Safety Features:

• Functional safety qualified electronic monitoring and control system to ensure safe electrical operation within voltage, current and temperature limits.
• A safe shut-off strategy to respond if operating limits are violated (voltage, current, and temperature).
• Charge circuit to prevent arcing if improper disconnection is attempted.
• Dedicated handling/lifting points.
• Dedicated bloc ventilation to enhance performance and energy throughput even in high-temperature applications.

Interface Terminals: There are multiple low-voltage interfaces on the battery exterior which must be connected during commissioning, depending on the end-user requirements:
Charge Interface Terminal: This is a required connection for all AT- equipped batteries. This interface connects the charging adapter to the battery system, allowing CAN communication between the battery and charger.
Truck Interface Terminal: This interface provides specific communications for integration with the truck’s state of charge (SoC) related features and controls. This truck interface is not a requirement from EnerSys® but may be required by the truck manufacturer.

• Interlock: Allows the truck to send a signal to tell the battery to shut down.
• Early Warning Signal: Battery will provide a signal to the truck 10 seconds before battery shutdown.
• CAN Open: Operating communications for protocol sharing between truck and battery.

NOTE: If the use of this signal as the interface with the truck is necessary, but not previously discussed with EnerSys®, please contact your EnerSys® service representative for support prior to installation. Application prequalification and a specialized cable could be required.

Operator Interface Terminal: 12-pin amphenol connector to Truck IQ™ device or battery discharge indicator (BDI).
The low-voltage interfaces are protected by a 0.5A fuse.

NOTE: Any unused connector must be protected by a threaded cover to prevent the ingress of contaminants or foreign material.

OPERATOR INTERFACES

An operator interface is required to be installed in the truck cabin for ease of use and to ensure the operator is alerted to any visual or audible warnings such as low SoC. This in-cabin interface can be either the BDI or the Truck iQ™ smart battery dashboard.
This requirement for an in-truck interface can only be eliminated if full industrial truck OEM integration options are deployed that allow the truck’s preexisting operator interfaces to be utilized. Truck integrations require prequalification and approval from both EnerSys® and the truck OEM.
During operation as the SoC decreases, the operator interfaces will provide an audible alarm and visual warnings when the battery drops to the Warning SoC level. After the battery continues to fall below the alert level, the alarm will increase in speed. Continuing to run the battery without charging will ultimately result in the battery deactivating due to low SoC.

The buzzer and LED behavior for the devices are as follows:

With truck integration, the CAN cable must be connected from the CAN port on the battery (Figure 2 [see page 4]) to the truck. With truck integration, warnings and alerts will follow the truck OEM’s structure.

External BDI:
This device can be installed outside of the battery compartment to allow operators to view the SoC and the presence of a battery error as well as to provide easy access to an activation/deactivation button. The series of lights will indicate the SoC, whilst audible alarms will notify the operator that the battery requires recharging or that there are battery errors. Continued operation after the BDI indicated low SoC will ultimately result in deactivation of the battery due to low SoC. The BDI must be permanently and securely fixed in a position for the operator to view the BDI for information and access the button.

Figure 3: External BDI
Figure 4: SoC indicator screen
Truck iQ™ Smart Battery Dashboard:
Figures 5 & 6: Truck iQ™ smart battery dashboard

Truck iQ™ Dashboard:
The Truck iQ™ smart battery dashboard is an operator interface that provides operators with more detailed battery information compared to the BDI. The Truck iQ™ device includes the activation/ deactivation button, as well as audible and visual alarms. The Truck iQ™ device must be installed per the installation instructions provided with the Truck iQ™ device unit. The Truck iQ™ device must be permanently and securely fixed in a position where the operator can view the information and access the button.

After the battery is secured in the truck’s battery compartment, the battery unit must be checked again to ensure no cables, wires, or plugs were crushed, pinched, cut or damaged during insertion.

Electrical Installation

• The battery must be connected with the appropriate cables and connector to the industrial truck per the truck manufacturer’s recommendation.
• Only use EnerSys® approved fasteners, connectors, cabling, and plugs with this battery.
• The cable dimensioning and DC connecting plug will vary depending on the truck and end-user requirements. The truck harness shall comply with relevant requirements for current carrying capability and truck interface requirements. Compliance shall be confirmed by the truck’s OEM.

WARNING Defective cables and connectors can result in functional issues and/or severe safety hazards such as short circuits and/or fire. Cables and connectors must be regularly inspected for any damage or issues. Cables and connectors should only be repaired or replaced by an authorized EnerSys® service representative using the correct factory replacement parts. No substitution is allowed.

OPERATION

While EnerSys® has used reasonable efforts towards the application of legal requirements, this documentation should neither be considered nor relied upon as legal advice.
Anybody using this battery must be trained on the aspects of the battery they are responsible for as required by local laws and regulations.
The battery must be handled, operated, stored, maintained, and serviced in accordance with the instructions in this owner’s manual.

WARNING Failure to follow the instructions in this owner’s manual can result in serious damage to the battery and may result in serious injury.
Failure to follow the instructions in this owner’s manual or using parts that are non-original will void the battery warranty.

Opportunity charging is highly recommended to maximize the daily operating capability of the battery. It will also optimize the service life of the battery by decreasing the discharge window of the battery during discharge.
The capability of the battery to power the truck decreases at low SOC. If the truck is operated at a low SOC, this may result in the battery shutting down with or without a 10-second warning. If this occurs, reactivate the battery and slowly drive the truck to a matching charger to connect and recharge.
In contrast to traditional lead acid batteries, it is beneficial to operate NexSys® TPPL batteries at a partial state of charge with frequent and rapid opportunity charges during periods of non-use (operator breaks, shift changes, etc.).
This battery is designed to be charged indoors in the truck.
The battery temperature influences the capacity of the battery. For example, run time may be reduced at lower temperatures. Battery temperatures at the extreme ends of the temperature limits as stated in this owner’s manual will influence performance.
Respect all visual and audible warnings from the user interface devices.

Activation/Deactivation of Battery
The BMS will deactivate automatically when a no-load condition is detected for a default setting of 156 continuous hours to ensure that an unused battery is not deeply discharged.

Activation:
During use: Provided the pack is not connected to a charger and there are no battery errors, the battery will automatically switch to the traction state applying power to the truck. In all cases, a short press of about half a second is required.
During charging: The battery is activated when it is plugged into the charger. This allows battery activation and charging even without previous activation of the battery by other measures above.

Deactivation:
Extended non-use: The battery will deactivate after a default of 156 hours when there is less than a 3 A current draw. If different values for these are desired, contact your EnerSys® service representative to make adjustments.
Manual deactivation: Ensure the equipment is shut down prior to deactivating the battery. To manually deactivate the battery, press the button on any user interface for 3 to 5 seconds. Holding for longer may result in turning the unit OFF and then back ON.

  WARNING When deactivating the battery, there is approximately a 20-second shutdown sequence in which an audible alarm will be heard. Pushing the button again during this time will stop the shutdown procedure and return the pack to a fully ON state.

CHARGING BATTERY

Unlike standard lead acid batteries, NexSys® TPPL batteries equipped with the AT Package must remain connected to the traction connector of the truck. To charge, dedicated charging plug(s) must be used connecting to an EnerSys® approved charger. Upon connecting the first charging plug, power to the industrial truck is disabled, preventing inadvertent operation.
This battery must only be charged by EnerSys® approved chargers for NexSys® TPPL Batteries equipped with the AT Package, which are specially designed to allow optimum energy transfer and CAN communication with the battery to control the battery recharge. This ensures a safe and optimal operation of the system. All operating instructions found in the owner’s manual of the charger must be followed.

WARNING Never attempt to charge using the connector from the battery to the truck.
The battery system is equipped with drive-away protection that will disconnect the traction power— disabling the truck when any battery-charging plug is connected to a charger. This mitigates the risk of an operator accidentally driving away when the charger is still connected.
Charge the battery only in an appropriate environment. Additionally, follow all environmental requirements from the charger.
The charge plug has embedded anti-arc contacts to reduce arcing while performing inadvertent hot disconnect operations.
NOTE: The CAN-enabled charge (piggy-back) connector from the battery must be plugged into the matching CAN-enabled charge connector from the charger.
After installation is complete, the battery should not be disconnected from the industrial truck to charge, nor is it required to open the lids and covers on the battery compartment.

Charging Sequence

• Inspect the battery and charging cable(s) to ensure they have no damage and are free of contaminants prior to connecting.

• Connect the charger to the battery-charging connectors (both primary and secondary DC cables).
• Once a charging cable is connected, the traction contactor will open, removing power from the truck for drive-away protection.
• Charging will begin after communication (CAN bus) has started between the battery and the charger, which occurs when the primary charging cable with the communication links is connected (Figure 8). The optimal charge current will automatically be determined based on the battery conditions (SOC, temperature, etc.) and charger conditions (temperature, charger size). The charge level will dynamically change during the charging process, ensuring fast charging and optimal lifetime of the battery. If the battery detects a fault condition, the charging will stop.
• To stop prior to completion of full recharge, such as during opportunity charging, press the ON/ OFF button on the charger prior to disconnecting.

WARNING Even if the battery is equipped with anti-spark systems, the battery should not be disconnected while still being charged by the charger.

• After a full charge cycle is complete, the charger screen will indicate that charging is complete. At this point, the charger is no longer supplying power to the battery and the charging cable(s) can be disconnected from the battery. After completely disconnecting the charging cable(s), the battery will then automatically be ready for operation. If the battery remains connected, the charger will periodically provide a refresh charge to maintain the battery’s full state of charge.
