SAFETY AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS

Read this entire document before installing or operating the SolarEdge Energy Bank battery (referred to as the “Battery”). Failure to do so or to follow any of the instructions or warnings in this document can result in electrical shock, serious injury, or death, or may damage the Battery and other property.
Do not discard this document! After installation, keep it adjacent to the Battery for future reference!

Storage
  • Storing the Battery in temperatures outside the specified range might cause damage to the Battery.
  • When storing the battery for more than 3 months, make sure to keep it in a cool and dry place with ambient temperatures of -10°C/14°F to +30°C/86°F.
  • When storing the battery for less than 3 months, make sure to keep it in a cool and dry place with ambient temperatures of -30°C/-22°F to +60°C/140°F.
Transportation
  • To protect the Battery and its components from damage when transporting, handle with care. Do not push, pull, drag, or step on the Battery. Do not subject the Battery to any strong impact.
