Page 9: Transportation And Receipt Of Product
International Safe Transit Association 4.2.1 Hazards Aquion batteries are not hazardous and are not regulated as dangerous goods by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). They do not need special transportation services. Customers shipping Aquion batteries Ex Works (EXW) should request the most recent Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from Aquion. -
Page 10: Disassembly Hazards
4.4 Disassembly Hazards WARNING Do NOT attempt to disassemble Aspen 48S or 24S batteries. Do NOT remove the nut on the compression fixture on top of the battery. Aspen 48S and 24S batteries have been compressed to optimize performance. Releasing this load could result in poor battery performance, permanent damage to battery components, and/or injury. -
Page 11: Installation
Aspen 48M fuses are installed but not connected. The battery will not function until the fuses are connected. See Section 5.5. Aspen 48M batteries and systems of sensed Aspen 48S batteries must be set up with the Aquion Battery Monitoring System (BMS-200) before operation. See Section 5.4. -
Page 12: Humidity
Before moving any Aspen 48M battery, ensure that the travel path will not require tipping the battery more than fifteen (15) degrees and that the installation location is level. -
Page 13: Placement
Aspen batteries are designed to be installed in an upright position (less than fifteen (15) degrees of tilt). 5.5 Fuse Connection Instructions – Each Aspen 48M battery ships with 12 installed, but disconnected, 20 A fuses, one for each component Aspen 48S, located beneath the battery’s top cover. All 12 fuses must be connected for the battery to operate. - Page 14 b. Lift off the cover by raising the back end first, sliding the cover slightly forward to clear the terminal posts, and lifting the entire cover clear. 2. Connect the two fuse bundle connectors. a. Inside the top tray, locate the fuse board and the two loose fuse bundle connectors.
- Page 15 4. Replace the four bolts on the front and back of the top cover. For each bolt: a. If the clip beneath the edge of the cover has tilted, realign the clip vertically so that its hole aligns with the hole in the cover. b.

Page 20: Contactor Control - 48M
DC contactor must be powered by an external 24 V power supply. Aquion does not provide this power supply. A single 24 V power supply may be used to power the DC contactors of up to 16 Aspen 48M batteries connected by appropriate power cables (see Section 6.1.2). The power supply, connected to the first battery in the string, must be capable of supplying 100 mA to each battery in the system, plus at least 1 A of surge current. -

8.2 Charge Profiles For clarity, the charge profiles include the lead acid charge terminology of bulk, absorption, and float, though they are not strictly correct for the AHI chemistry. Find Aquion’s latest operational settings for power control electronics, available at http://aquionenergy.com/support/product-documentation. -
Page 27: Boost Charge Profile
8.2.2 Boost Charge Profile Use the boost charge profile if your Aspen battery system needs to go longer than three days between discharges is allowed to go open circuit This profile is for UPS and back-up applications that do not use the batteries every day. Max. -
Page 28: Three-Stage Charge Profile
8.2.3 Three-Stage Charge Profile Use the three-stage charge profile if your Aspen battery system needs to go longer than three days between discharges cannot go open circuit or requires a float setting does not use current termination for absorption Aspen batteries do not require a float voltage, but one is included to maintain a full state of charge. Max. -
Page 29: State Of Charge
Section 8.6. 8.3.2 Determining State of Charge The SOC of an Aquion battery can be estimated by measuring its open circuit voltage (OCV). To measure the OCV, first disconnect the battery from the DC bus by either unplugging the MC4 solar connectors or powering down the system. -
Page 30: Self-Discharge
8.5 Self-Discharge The self-discharge of the Aquion AHI battery chemistry is closely related to the ambient temperature at which the battery is held. Aspen batteries exhibit the approximate capacity losses shown below due to self-discharge over the course of one (1) month. -
