High voltage battery connections (configurations of greater than 36V DC nominal) can be dangerous in any DC system. The KiloVault® 2100 PLC is a 48V nominal battery system and is greater than 36V DC at the terminals when fully charged! DC voltages over 52V can stop the human adult heart;...
KiloVault® 2100 PLC. 1.3.1. Transportation Because the KiloVault® 2100 PLC weighs over 127 lb, it should be moved with the help of multiple people and moving/lifting equipment rated over 140 lb. Do not drop the KiloVault® 2100 PLC.

This guide, and the tasks and procedures described in this manual, are intended for use by qualified personnel only. Only qualified personnel shall install, operate, overhaul, or maintain the KiloVault® 2100 PLC. During maintenance or overhaul, at least two people (equipped with protective measures, including but not limited to, safety glasses, insulated gloves, and safety shoes) must be present.
Our newest member of the KiloVault family is not a sibling but a cousin! The 2100 KiloVault® 2100 PLC is a pure lead carbon sealed AGM deep cycle solar battery. It is a cost-effective, maintenance-free battery offering superior performance in PSoC applications. These batteries are designed for residential or light commercial off-grid, backup, or self-consumption applications.
4. Operation 4.1. Charging KiloVault 2100 PLC batteries are usually charged using a three-stage charging cycle: bulk, absorption, and float stages. Bulk is a constant-current stage. The purpose of the bulk stage is to raise the battery voltage to a relatively high level with an initial fast charge. Absorption is a constant voltage stage.
4.1.2. Temperature Compensation To achieve longer battery life, compensate for temperatures above or below 77°F (25°C). For KiloVault 2100 PLC batteries we recommend -30mV/°C (-5mV/cell/°C). 4.2. Discharging Battery capacity depends on the discharge current or discharge rate. If the discharge current is smaller, the discharge capacity will be larger.
Stored batteries will need to be recharged to recover from self-discharge. The rate of self- discharge increases as the temperature increases.

Generally speaking, lead sulfate will be produced on the battery negative plate when they are stored for a long time. KiloVault® 2100 PLC batteries can be stored for up to 24 months. Because lead sulfate is an electrical insulator, it negatively affects the performance of the battery. We recommend the following recharge schedule based on storage temperatures.
Total cycle life decreases with increasing temperatures and depths of discharge. Figure 10: Approximate Total Cycle Count vs. DoD 16 of 18 Revision 1.04 KiloVault LLC • 330 Codman Hill Road, Boxborough, MA 01719 • +1 (888) 218-5924 • info@kilovault.com • www.kilovault.com ®...
