Page 4: General Information
The Battery Module is composed of twelve of Aquion Energy’s S20-008F Battery Stacks connected in parallel. Battery Modules can be scaled in series or parallel for a wide range of stationary storage applications. -
Page 5: Terminal Overview
The Battery Module utilizes a standard Amphenol RADLOK pin, Part No. RL9-100-101, for each terminal of the DC connection. Connect to the Battery Module using Amphenol RADLOK connectors (not supplied by Aquion), part numbers RL0-100-1-xxBK (Black) and RL0-100-1-xxRE (Red). The xx in these part numbers represents the cable size, which should be determined from the data sheet for this part (see http://www.amphenol-industrial.com/). -

Page 12: Racking/Scaling Systems
5.5 Racking/Scaling Systems AHI Battery Modules are compatible with a variety of pallet racking solutions offered by vendors around the world. They are designed to be racked in standard pallet racking or drive-in, edge-loaded racking systems, such as depicted in the image below. (The stand and dimensions shown are examples only. -
Page 13: Operation
Battery Modules may be stored at 0%–100% state of charge (SOC) without significant performance loss. For best results over long-term storage, Aquion recommends keeping the battery at ≤50% SOC (<48 V) and ≤40°C. Battery Modules must be operated in temperatures between -5°C and 40°C on a 24-hour average. -
Page 14: Discharge/Charge Cycles
The AHI battery chemistry allows for long cycle life at high depth of discharge. Based on the current results of Aquion’s ongoing, real-time test of production batteries, Aquion is targeting a cycle life of 3,000 cycles at 100% depth of discharge to 80% retained capacity on all commercial battery products. - Page 15 Aquion batteries can be charged using the same type of three-stage profile used for lead acid batteries. Though not strictly correct for the AHI chemistry, the lead acid terminology (bulk, absorption, float) is included for clarity. Unlike lead acid, AHI batteries do not require a float voltage, but one is included to maintain a full state of charge.

Page 16: State Of Charge
The AHI battery chemistry can be maintained at a partial or low state of charge indefinitely. The Module can be discharged within its operating limits as well, as defined in Product Specification Sheet, available on the Aquion Energy Customer Portal at http://info.aquionenergy.com/customer- portal. -

The AHI chemistry does not require balancing and is considered to be self-balancing. Though Aquion Energy offers a BMS for certain applications, AHI batteries do not require a traditional BMS. There are no passive or active balancing electronics in the Aquion Energy equipment. In products that do employ a BMS, Aquion Energy’s BMS serves as a monitoring and communication device. - Page 24 “death” at that point and can be cycled further with a reduction of capacity. Will the batteries be “dead” after freezing? The aqueous electrolyte in the battery will freeze at temperatures below -10°C. Aquion Energy does not recommend allowing AHI batteries to freeze. However, testing has shown that upon thawing, the battery will continue to charge and discharge.
- Page 25 How much do the batteries self-discharge? The self-discharge of the Aquion AHI battery chemistry is closely related to the ambient temperature at which the battery is being held. Aquion batteries should be held within the temperature range outlined in the Product Specification Sheet (available on the Aquion Energy Customer Portal at http://info.aquionenergy.com/customer-portal).

Aquion Energy battery can use the common lead acid charge profile of Bulk, Absorb, Float. The Aquion Energy battery does not require a float current, as lead acid batteries do, but there is a regulation voltage at which the battery can be held following its absorption charge cycle. -
Page 27: Temperature Compensation
B.1.4 Temperature Compensation The Aquion AHI battery is capable of operating at higher ambient temperatures than lead acid batteries can. The reference temperature for the AHI battery is 30°C, rather than the 25°C typical of lead acid technologies. - Page 28 Shared Settings Temperature Compensation ......... -0.080 Battery High Voltage Disconnect ......... 16.0 V Battery High Voltage Reconnect ........15.8 V Max.
