The warning signs and labels attached on the lithium-ion battery must always be complete and in a legible condition. Replace damaged or illegible signs. Please refer to your authorised aentron dealer. ■ Only perform installation, cleaning and / or disassembly work when the lithium-ion battery is switched off.
DO NOT attempt to replace the fuse, otherwise the warranty for the lithium-ion battery will be invalidated. ■ ONLY use chargers which have been authorised by aentron GmbH. ■ Ensure correct polarity when connecting the lithium-ion battery and the charger.
Remove the lithium-ion battery in the event of a short circuit or overcharge and isolate it for 24 - 48 hours to prevent internal cell short circuit (slow-burn short circuit). Refer to your authorised aentron dealer immediately for further assistance. 3.4. Electrical Hazards Fatal electric shock possible due to improper handling of the lithium-ion battery.
For operation at low temperatures below -10 °C, the lithium-ion batteries can optionally be fitted with an internal heating system. This function is only available for the lithium-ion battery Type R.

≤ 25 V ≤ 50 V If the voltage deviates from the defined range, refer to your authorised aentron dealer. If the voltage is in the defined range, the lithium-ion battery can be used. Charge the lithium-ion battery completely before using it.
42 V 56 V To charge the lithium-ion battery, proceed as follows: Make sure to use a charger authorised by aentron GmbH. Make sure that the lithium-ion battery is switched off and the status LED is NOT illuminated. Connect the supplied (+) RED cable to the correspondingly marked (+) RED power terminal.
The lithium-ion batteries are optimally charged based on the CCCV method at an ideal temperature of +10 °C to +30 °C. Furthermore, all chargers recommended by aentron GmbH are fitted with a float charging function with a maximum float delta of 1 V. This ensures that the lithium-ion battery is always fully charged and that the long-term strain of the lithium-ion battery is minimised at high SoC values.
Turn off the lithium-ion battery when not using the batteries for extended periods, to avoid a deep discharge of the module. aentron GmbH has implemented extensive hard- and software functions, to prevent the modules entering a deep discharge mode. The user is nevertheless obligated, to avoid a deep discharge through appropriate operational procedures.
Operational life time If a lithium-ion battery reaches the deep discharge- protection mode, it is considered as an „abuse“ by aentron. At the second time the warranty expires (chapter 10.1 Warranty conditions). To bring the battery into operational mode, an aentron- customer service is required.
If the lithium-ion battery requires to be serviced within the warranty time, contact your aentron-dealer. Remove all the devices before shipping to aentron GmbH. For service or repair, please send the lithium-ion battery to an aentron designated dealer. Please note that the transport of the lithium must be conducted with an authorized UN38.3 ADR suitable l transport-box.
