WARNING – The maximum storage time from shipment to initial
charge is 6 months for batteries stored at ambient temperatures no
warmer than 77°F (25°C). For storage temperatures greater than 77°F
(25°C) the batteries must be recharged one (1) month sooner for
every 5°F (3°C) increase above 77°F (25°C).
2.0 RECEIVING AND STORAGE
2.1 Inspection
The LM/LMOPT Series central inverter and batteries are shipped together
unless specified with the “ship-less batteries” option code(-UP). Upon arrival,
please inspect the contents to ensure that no shipping damage has
occurred. This is especially important with batteries – ensure that there are
no cracks or leaks. If any damage has occurred, notify the shipping carrier
immediately and submit a damage claim.
WARNING - NEVER use a physically damaged battery as this may cause
an unsafe condition.
2.2 Storage
Storage temperature before the installation is critical for the battery life
expectancy and warranty. Store the system indoors in a clean, dry and cool
location. Storage at higher temperatures will result in accelerated rates of
self-discharge and possible deterioration of battery performance and life.
Storage times exceeding the above may result in plate sulfation, which
may adversely affect electrical performance and expected life.
Failure to install and charge the batteries
as noted VOIDS the battery’s warranty
DANGER - Batteries present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit
current. Do not smoke, cause a flame or spark in the immediate area of
the batteries. Use proper lifting means when moving batteries and wear all
appropriate safety clothing and equipment.
