4.5.4 Care and storage
(1) The battery should be stored in a warehouse which is dry, well ventilated and away
from direct shinning. The temperature inside should stay between 5-40℃。
(2) Keep the battery from the heat source at least at a distance of 2m.
(3) The battery should not lie upside down or on the side. It should not bear any
mechanical shock or any heavy load.
(4) Keep off any liquid and harmful foreign matter. Be care with the falling of the any
metal impurity.
(5) Do not store the battery with electrolyte in. If it is necessary, charge the battery fully.
Adjust the lever and density of the electrolyte well. Charge the battery once a month
during its storage.
Notice:
(1) During battery charging, the charge should be temporally suspended in the
place where the temperature of electrolyte exceeds 40ºC.
(2) In battery charging, the service life of battery will be affected if the
temperature of electrolyte is more than 50ºC.
(3) Do not charge the battery at low temperature (e.g. cold outdoor), this would
affect the service life of battery.
Notice:
(1) The rated voltage of traction battery is not the safe voltage and there is
electric shock injury danger if touched, so take safety precautions.
(2) Traction battery is lead-acid battery and electrolyte is dilute sulphuric acid.
So when the battery is tested, fed and adjusted etc, wear safety device to avoid
accident.
(3) The shell of charger is of metal conductor, therefore the reliable connection
