1 . Initial
preparation before installation: Verify no abnormalities on battery case
( like crack of leakage ).
2 . Free air
space must be provided between each battery. Minimum space 5?a10mm (0.02?a0.04
inch) is necessary.
3 . Choose
a proper mounting placer:
------Away from heat source ( such as a transformer ). Otherwise, battery
temperature will be raised and shorten battery life. Optimal temperature
is 20oC / 68oF.
------Located in the lowest part of the equipment.
------Away from device that may cause sparks ( such as switch or fuse ),
because battery may generate inflammable gases during overcharge.
------Do not place near open flame.
------PM BATTERY is designed to be used in any position, but charging in
upside-down position should be avoided. Otherwise, leakage of electrolyte.
from safety vents may occur during excessive charge.
------Do not put batteries into airtight containers to release gas generated
from excessive charge and avoid explosion.
4 . Provide
enough insulation on lead wires which connecting battery with the equipment.
5 . Set the
batteries firmly in the equipment. Otherwise, batteries may be damaged,
or connection conductively may be decreased due to shock. When batteries
are used in ibration conditions, they shall be mounted in upright position
and with proper cushion for protecting vibration.
6 . For applications
requiring more than one battery, first make the inter-battery connections
properly, then connect the batteries to the charger or the load. Before
connection, switch off the circuit of the charger/ load. Be careful to connect
the positive (+) battery terminal to the (+) pole of the load/charger. Wrong
connection will result in explosion, fire and / or damage of the charger/
loading equipment and the battery.
7 . Pay attention
to the high voltage when a large number of batteries are connected in series.
Be sure to wear rubber gloves before installation of maintenance.
8 . If 4 or
more battery groups are to be used in parallel connection, consult us first.
9 . Avoid mixed
usage of batteries differing in capacity, manufacturer, storage or charge/
discharge conditions. Batteries may be damaged after cycles due to difference
in electrical characteristics. |
