The NexSys
®
battery series are valve-regulated lead-acid with Thin Plate Pure Lead technology, available in both
traction and block types. Unlike conventional batteries with liquid electrolyte NexSys batteries have immobilised
electrolyte. Instead of a vent plug, a valve is used to regulate the internal gas pressure, preventing the ingress of
oxygen from the air and allowing the escape of excess charging gases should an overcharged condition occur.
When operating valve-regulated lead-acid batteries the same safety requirements as for vented batteries apply to
protect against hazards from electric current, from explosion of electrolytic gas and with some limitations - from the
corrosive electrolyte.
Battery valves should never be removed. These batteries do not require topping up with distilled or de-mineralised
water. EnerSys
®
approved fasteners and exible connectors must be used for all connections.
Ignoring the operating instructions, repair with non-original parts and disconnection of the Wi-IQ
®
or LVA controller ,
where tted, will render the warranty void. All failures, malfunctions or defaults of the battery, the charger or any other
accessories, must be notied to our Service department immediately.
Rating Data
Pay attention to the operating instructions
and keep them close to the battery.
Work on batteries should be carried out by
skilled personnel only
Use protective glasses, clothes and
footwear when working on batteries.
Pay attention to local accident prevention
rules or DIN EN50272-3 / IEC 62485_3
DIN EN50110-1 & AS/NZ1 337
No smoking!
Do not expose batteries to naked ame,
glowing embers or sparks, as it may cause
the battery to explode
Avoid sparks from cables or electrical
apparatus and electrostatic discharges.
Acid splashes into the eyes or on the skin
must be washed immediately with plenty of
clean water. After ushing, consult a doctor
immediately
Clothing contaminated by acid should be
washed in water
Do not remove the vent caps
Electrolyte is highly corrosive
In normal operation of this battery, contact
with acid is not possible. If the cell containers
are damaged, the immobilised electrolyte
(absorbed in the separator) is corrosive like
liquid electrolyte
Risk of explosion and re
Always use insulated tools. Metal parts of
battery are always live. Do not place tools
or other metal objects such as jewelry on
top of the battery!
Dangerous electrical voltage!
Avoid short circuits
NexSys batteries are capable of high short
circuit currents
Batteries are heavy!
Ensure a secure installation and use only
suitable lifting equipment
Lifting hooks must not damage battery,
connectors or cables
Do not place batteries in direct sunlight
without protection
Discharged batteries can freeze - always
store in a frost free zone
Pay attention to the environmental hazards
that can be caused by the wrong disposal
of batteries
Dispose of batteries correctly according to
the relevant local rules
