See battery label SYSTEM OVERVIEW The LiFTFORCE Lithium battery system is an enclosed tray containing GNB Lithium Battery Modules in various capacities. The Battery Management System (BMS) and contactors are built into the tray and the system is equipped with a Curtis Engage II gauge or Opus A3 display, which shows battery parameters during charge and discharge.

The Curtis display will show both a bar and text value of the State of Charge (SOC) of the battery from 100 to 0 %. The LED on the right of the gauge will flash from 20% to 15% SOC and will be permanently on below LiFTFORCE Material Handling Battery Operating Instructions 08/01/18 Page 5 of 9...
The Opus display can be seen in Figure 4, 5, 6 and 7 below. The Opus will only be fitted to systems where GNB or the customer requires data logging to assess the duty cycle of their operation. This allows precise sizing of the battery pack for the most cost effective solution.
Power to the vehicle is automatically disabled while the battery is charging and therefore does not require an ON/OFF switch. 5.1.2 Charging Only GNB HF Approved Lithium chargers are to be used with the system. Standard Lead Acid chargers are not compatible and may damage the Lithium system. For maximum charge voltage see battery label.
The customer should verify the condition of all external cables and connections prior to each operation. In the event of any issues please call your local service engineer. If there is a malfunction of the battery, please call your local GNB service engineer. STORAGE If batteries are taken out of service they should be stored in a dry and frost free room.
