    S-Line Battery Stack The S-Line Battery Stack is the base component of Aquion Energy’s scalable energy solutions. The S-Line battery stack connects eight Aquion batteries in series for a 48 V product. Aquion offers one, unfused S-Line Battery Stack model: the S30-0080.
  • Page 6: Ul Recognition

    2.3 UL Recognition The S-Line Battery Stack is UL recognized. The following UL certification tests have been completed: UL 1973-13 Overcharge UL 1973-14 Short Circuit UL 1973-15 Overdischarge Protection UL 1973-16 Temp and Ops UL 1973-17 Imbalanced Charging UL 1973-23 Vibration UL 1973-24 Shock UL 1973-25 Crush UL 1973-26 Static Force...
  • Page 7: Safety Information

    3 Safety Information Only qualified individuals are to install and service battery systems. 3.1 Electrical Hazards Never place foreign objects or tools in or on the unit. The metal parts of the battery terminals are always live. Electrical hazards exist in the voltage and current ranges that are found in battery systems and associated electronics.
  • Page 8: Weight Hazards

    operated in accordance with the guidelines of this document. The battery has fully passed UL 1973 overcharge testing, an abuse test that includes monitoring for combustible vapor concentrations. Overcharging the battery (outside of specified guidelines) will result in venting of some incremental amounts of the gases listed above through the pressure relief valve.
  • Page 9: Transportation And Receipt Of Product

    4 Transportation and Receipt of Product 4.1 Shipping 4.1.1 Shipping Hazards The shipping configurations for battery stacks have undergone a modified International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) 3H shipping test. Modified ISTA 3H testing is pending for the battery module. Aquion battery stacks and modules are shipped at a very low state of charge and voltage. See Section 7.1 for initial charging instructions.
  • Page 10 If you find damage, document any signs of damage on the bill of lading before accepting the shipment. Separately document and photograph all damage, and make a claim with the carrier as soon as possible. Contact your distributor immediately. Slight bulges or depressions in the battery stack cases are normal. The battery stack cases are intentionally flexible to accommodate compression of the electrode stack and normal variations in internal pressure during operation.

    5 Installation ATTENTION: BATTERIES SHIP AT LESS THAN 2% STATE OF CHARGE AND LESS THAN 45 V. See Section 7.1. MODULE FUSES ARE INSTALLED BUT NOT CONNECTED. MODULE WILL NOT FUNCTION UNTIL FUSES ARE CONNECTED. See Section 5.5. SENSED BATTERY MODULES AND STACKS MUST BE SET UP WITH THE AQUION BATTERY MONITORING SYSTEM BEFORE OPERATION.
  • Page 12: Humidity

    5.2.4 Humidity Install batteries in clean, ordinary conditions protected from water exposure. Direct exposure of battery stacks or modules to water may cause shorting. The units may be installed in humid or coastal regions with atmospheric salt. 5.2.5 Ambient Temperature Battery stacks and modules must be operated in temperatures between -5°C and 40°C on a 24-hour average.
  • Page 13: Placement

    5.4 Placement ATTENTION: Before restricting physical access to battery systems, such as in racking or shipping containers, 1. Connect module fuses. This requires removing and replacing the module cover. See Section 5.5. 2. Set up sensed battery modules or stacks with the Aquion Battery Monitoring System (BMS-200).
  • Page 14 2. Connect the two fuse bundle connectors. a. Inside the top tray, locate the fuse board and the two loose fuse bundle connectors. b. Insert the connectors into the corresponding receptacles on the fuse board until you hear a click. Check that the connectors are tightly secured.
