9.0 BATTERY CELL MODULE INSTALLATION
PowerSafe
®
mP Series battery cells are designed for shipment
and use in steel modules.
1. Remove terminal safety caps.
2. BEFORE installing the cells, check the
cells open circuit voltages. The minimum
acceptable cell voltage is 2.11 vpc.
If a cell has a voltage below 2.11 vpc, the
cells should receive a freshening/equalization
charge. See Section 16.
3. Inspect each terminal for visual signs of
mechanical defects.
4. Reinstall terminal safety caps.
CAUTION
USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING THE PowerSafe
®
mP Series Cells. After a cell
has been inserted into a metal can at the factory, a loose fit could develop
because of recombination. The cell could slip very easily from the metal can if the
cell is turned so that the open end of the metal can is lower than the closed end
of the metal can. Serious personal injury could result if the cell unintentionally
slides from the metal can. Keep shipping/installation retainer in place until cells
are safely positioned on the shelves/modules.
NOTE:
Report any defects to your nearest EnerSys

representative for resolution, or call the corporate office
number listed on the back of this manual and ask for
