Disposal - EnerSys Nexsys 12NXS26 Technical Manual

DISPOSAL

NexSys® blocs are recyclable. Scrap blocs must be packaged and transported in
accordance with prevailing transportation rules and regulations. Scrap blocs must be
disposed of in compliance with local and national laws by a licensed or certified lead acid
bloc recycler with these attributes.
Note: It is imperative that the bloc receives a complete charge (returning the bloc to
100% of its rated C5/C6 capacity) at least once per week. Failure to do so will have a
detrimental effect on the performance and cycle life of the bloc.
There are 2 approved charging profiles for the NexSys blocs:
a) Standard bloc profile which has charging rates of 0.32 – 0.70 C5/C6
b) NXBLOC profile which has charging rates of 0.20 – 0.70 C5/C6
Only these 2 profiles will enable NexSys blocs to achieve the cycle life quoted in this
manual.
