SAFETY ALWAYS NEVER Always wear proper personal protective equipment (eye protection Never wear jewelry or other metal objects when working on or around and gloves) batteries Always use insulated tools when working on batteries Never place objects on top of batteries Always check connections for proper torque Never charge a battery when the temperature is below 14°F (-10°C) Always keep sparks and flames away from batteries. -
Page 7: Equipment Needed
Check for visible damage including cracks, dents, deformation and other visible abnormalities. The tops of the batteries and terminal connections should be clean, free of dirt and corrosion, and dry. If any problems are detected with the batteries, contact Trojan technical support or your battery distributor. If damage occurred in transit, contact your freight carrier. - Page 8 Do not place a washer between the battery terminal and the lug, as this will create high resistance and cause excessive heating of the connection. If assistance is needed in determining the appropriate hardware configuration, contact Trojan Battery Technical Support. 4.4 CABLE SIZE Battery cables should be sized to handle the expected load.
- Page 9 4.5 TORQUE VALUES Tighten all cable connections to the proper specification to make sure there is good contact with the terminals. Over-tightening terminal connections can cause terminal breakage and loose connections can result in terminal meltdown or fire. Refer to Table 2 for the proper torque values based on the type of terminal on your battery. TABLE 2 BATTERY AND TERMINAL TYPE DRY TORQUE (IN-LB)

There are no specific ventilation requirements for Trillium installations, although sufficient airflow should be provided to prevent excessive heat build-up. 4.8 BATTERY ORIENTATION Batteries may be installed in any horizontal or vertical orientation except with the terminals facing downward. 4.9 BATTERY ENVIRONMENT Batteries should be stored and installed in a clean, cool and dry place, keeping water, oil, and dirt away from the batteries.

Page 12: Preventive Maintenance
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE 5.1 INSPECTION î Examine the outside appearance of the battery. The tops of the batteries and terminal connections should be clean, dry, and free of corrosion. î Check battery cables and connections. Replace any damaged cables and tighten any loose connections. Refer to Section 4.5, Torque Values. - Page 13 Balancing is performed when a parallel group of cells reaches a specified threshold voltage corresponding to almost 100% state-of-charge (SOC). At that point, the highest-charged cells “bleed down” a small amount to enable the remaining groups of cells to “catch up.” At a voltage threshold slightly higher than the balancing point, a current interrupting device (contactor or FET array) will open, stopping any charging current from flowing.
- Page 14 6.5. PREFERRED CHARGING PROFILES The recommended charging approach is to use an appropriate I-E charging profile with a voltage setting of 14.4 to 14.8 VDC per battery (28.8 to 29.6 V for the U1). Many AGM or GEL charging algorithms that use an I-E profile will charge a well-balanced bank of Trillium batteries acceptably.

Page 15: Storage And Shipping
Disconnect from equipment to eliminate potential parasitic loads that may discharge the battery. î Prior to long-term storage of the battery, Trojan Battery recommends that the battery be fully charged. Storing a discharged battery can result in permanent damage or decreased run time. -
Page 16: What To Expect From Your Trillium Battery
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR TRILLIUM BATTERY î Your Trillium battery will deliver rated capacity when it is new. No “break-in” period is required. î When operating batteries at low temperatures, they will deliver less than the rated capacity. î When operating batteries at high temperatures, battery life will be reduced. -

See Section 4.11, “Battery Start-Up,” for details on using the Status button If Group 24 or Group 27 batteries do not automatically restart, then follow the “Battery Start-up” section. If you have any difficulty getting a Trillium battery to provide power, contact your dealer or Trojan Technical Support for assistance. - Page 18 NOTES T R O J A N B A T T E R Y...
