HOST SYSTEMS POWERED BY LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES, INCLUDING THE TROJAN® ONEPACK LITHIUM-ION BATTERY, MAY BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY THAN
WHEN POWERED BY LEAD-ACID BATTERIES. MOST NOTABLY LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES MAY DISCONNECT FROM THE HOST SYSTEM WITHOUT WARNING
UNDER A VARIETY OF CONDITIONS IN ORDER TO AVOID INTERNAL DAMAGE (“AUTOMATIC DISCONNECTION”). AUTOMATIC DISCONNECTION WILL RESULT IN
TOTAL POWER LOSS.
EXAMPLES OF CONDITIONS THAT CAN LEAD TO AUTOMATIC DISCONNECTION INCLUDE, WITHOUT LIMITATION:
·
HIGH VOLTAGE FROM EXTERNAL POWER SOURCES (CHARGERS) OR REGENERATIVE BRAKING
·
BATTERY LOW VOLTAGE OR LOW STATE OF CHARGE
·
HIGH CURRENT
·
EXTERNAL SHORT CIRCUIT
·
HIGH OR LOW TEMPERATURES
·
SELF DIAGNOSTICS
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PLEASE SEE SECTION 10.3: “PROTECTION LIMITS: AUTOMATIC DISCONNECTION.”
IN EQUIPMENT WITH ESSENTIAL SYSTEMS THAT RELY ON BATTERY POWER (FOR EXAMPLE, LOW-SPEED VEHICLES WITH ELECTRONIC ACCELERATION
AND BRAKING SYSTEMS) (EACH AN “AFFECTED APPLICATION”), AN ABRUPT INTERRUPTION OF POWER MAY RESULT IN UNDESIRABLE, UNEXPECTED AND
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS EQUIPMENT BEHAVIOR, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BRAKING LOSS OR IMMEDIATE BRAKING.
USERS AND INSTALLERS OF THE TROJAN® ONEPACK LITHIUM-ION BATTERY MUST UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES OF INSTALLING LITHIUM-ION
BATTERIES IN AN AFFECTED APPLICATION. THE USER AND/OR INSTALLER OF THE ONEPACK BATTERY (“USER AND/OR INSTALLER”) ASSUMES ALL RISK
AND LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES, INJURIES TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DEATH), OR ACCIDENTS ARISING
RELATED TO SUCH USE OR INSTALLATION.
USERS AND/OR INSTALLERS SHOULD CONSULT THE MANUFACTURER OF ANY AFFECTED APPLICATION FOR RISK MITIGATION OPTIONS RELATED TO USE
WITH LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES.
