Safety 2
Basic principles for safe operatio
n
NOTE
The brake resistor (1) is installed differently
depending on the battery group. The build-up
of heat in the area around the brake resistor
is harmless. The safety valve (2) opens when
thebatteryissubjectedtooverpressureor
catches fire.
All lithium-ion batteries are essentially associ-
ated with the risk of a fire starting, of the battery
exploding and of the battery causing chemical
burns.
When used as intended, no hazardous
substances escape from the closed tray and
contact with toxic substances will not occur.
There is a risk of contact only in the event of
incorrect use (mechanical, thermal, electrical)
that leads to activation of the safety valve (2)
or to the housing cracking. As a result, the
electrolyte fluid may leak out, the electrode
material may react with moisture/water or
battery discharge/a fire/or an explosion
can occur, depending on the surrounding
circumstances.
Touching live components can lead to an
electric shock, which can have thermal or
paralysing effects. The latter can cause ven-
tricular fibrillation, cardiac arrest or respiratory
paralysis, leading to death.
If a battery combusts, the resulting smoke or
vapours can cause irritation of the eyes, skin
and respiratory system.
Permissible lithium-ion batteries
– Use only lithium-ion batteries that have
been approved by STILL for use with this
truck.
– Contact the authorised service centre on
this matter.
Declaring the use of lithium-ion batteries
We recommend that the operating company
informs the local fire brigade of the planned
use of trucks fitted with lithium-ion batteries.
