Service life of the
battery
The intelligent functions of the power source (see the Battery protection functions sec-
tion on page 31) play a significant role in increasing the service life of the battery.
However, the user must observe the following key points in order to guarantee maximum
battery life:
- Recharge the battery after every discharge
Do not wait until the battery is completely discharged before recharging it.
WARNING! Improper handling of batteries can cause injuries or damage. The
power source is operated using a lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack.
Note the following points without exception:
- Never expose the power source to naked flames. Excessive heat can cause
the battery to explode or burst.
- Do not open the power source or remove the battery. If the battery becomes
damaged due to improper handling, poisonous substances can escape
which may be harmful to health.
- Do not drop the power source into water. This can cause a short circuit, even
if the power source is switched off. This in turn can cause the battery to be-
come hot, ignite or burst.
WARNING! Improper handling can cause injuries or damage. Do not open the
power source.
The power source may only be opened by a Fronius service engineer.
If you need a replacement battery, hand the power source over to a Fronius Ser-
vice Partner.
NOTE! The service life of the battery is dependent entirely upon how it is handled.
The way in which the battery is operated and stored and the conditions under
which this occurs are therefore extremely important.
