1.3 Battery Safety Datasheet
1.3.1 Hazard Information
Classification of the hazardous chemical
Exempt from classification according to Australian WHS regulations.
Other hazards
This product is a Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery with certified compliance under the UN
Recommendations on Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, sub-
section 38.3. For the battery cell, chemical materials are stored in a hermetically sealed metal case,
designed to withstand temperatures and pressures encountered during normal use. As a result, during
normal use, there is no physical danger of ignition or explosion and chemical danger of hazardous
materials' leakage. However, if exposed to a fire, added mechanical shocks, decomposed, added
electric stress by misuse, the gas release vent will be operated. The battery cell case will be breached
at the extreme. Hazardous materials may be released. Moreover, if heated strongly by the surrounding
fire, acrid or harmful fume may be emitted.

1.4 General Precautions
DANGER
Danger to life due to high voltages of the PV array, battery and electric shock.
When exposed to sunlight, the PV array generates dangerous DC voltage which will be present in
the DC conductors and the live components of the inverter. Touching the DC conductors or the live
components can lead to lethal electric shocks. If you disconnect the DC connectors from the system
under load, an electric arc may occur leading to electric shock and burns.
Ø Do not touch uninsulated cable ends.
Do not touch the DC conductors.
Ø
Ø Do not open the inverter and battery.
Ø Do not wipe the system with damp cloth.
Have the system installed and commissioned by qualified people with the appropriate
Ø
skills only.
Ø Prior to performing any work on the inverter or the battery pack, disconnect the inverter
from all voltage sources as described in this document.
