Battery Protection Features - PAG PAGlink PL96e User Manual

7.1 Over-charge Protection
Charging will be inhibited if the battery voltage exceeds a pre-set
level.
7.2 Over-discharge Protection
When the battery voltage reaches 12.5V, discharging is inhibited.
7.3 Over-current Protection
If a single battery is subjected to a current greater than 8A, but less
than 15A, the output will be turned off after 5 seconds. If the
current is greater than 15A, the output will be turned off immedi-
ately. In either case, the battery display will be inoperative and there
will be no voltage available at the terminals. The battery can be reset
by removing it from the load and pressing the display button.
7.4 Thermal Protection
Software protection inhibits charging if the battery temperature is
below 0°C. Return the battery to the charger when the battery
temperature rises above 0°C.
Software protection inhibits discharging if the battery temperature
falls to -20°C, or if it rises to +70°C. The output can be restored
when the battery temperature becomes within the specified range by
pressing the display button.
A thermal fuse is incorporated within the battery construction as a
'backstop' protection device, and this cannot be reset. In the unlikely
event of this fuse operating, please contact PAG or your dealer.

7. Battery Protection Features

7.5 Construction
The battery cases consist of high-impact injection mouldings,
designed to protect the cells from impact damage.
The circuits are coated, making them resistant to electrolyte and
ensuring the operation of the safety systems in the event of damage
to the battery.
Internal wiring is rated for high current and high temperature, and is
double-insulated for added safety and protection.
