Batteries
Storage
•Store thelithium cells in a cool, dry and ventilated area far from fires and heating
sources.
•It is recommended the use of a non-combustible structure and keep adequateclear-
ance between walls and batteries.
•The maximum temperature suggested for the storage is +30°C.
•Higher temperatures are allowed but cause an increase in the self discharge of the
battery and speed up the process of passivation.
•In any case, never go over 100°C, as the batteries can break and cause a leakage.
•Arrange adequateprotections to avoid possible damages to the batteries.
•Keep the batteries in their original packages until they are used.
•Do not expose the batteries directly to the sun light.
•Do not put a higher number of cartons one on another (respect what indicated).
•If in the same place arestorage batteries with a total capacity >50,000Ah, it is
suggested to install an alarm for smokeand gas.
Usage
•If the battery is integral, store and handle with care (it is suggested to handle the bat-
teries in a ventilated place, do not smoke, eat or drink during theassembly).
•Do not expose at temperature higher than 100°C (it is recommended <85ºC).
•Avoid short circuit, crush, and exposition to heat sources.
•Do not disassemblethe batteries or the battery packs, do not throw them in the fire,
do not perforatethem, do not overheat or wet them.
•Material to avoid: water, oxidizing agents, alkalis.
Before disposing of the equipment, remove the batteries and dis-
pose of them at a proper place of disposal.
