Caution/warning statements General safety signs Symbol Meaning Prohibition symbols are circular, showing a black pictogram on a white background surrounded by a red edge with a crossbar. Warning signs are triangular, showing a black symbol and edge on a yellow background. Environmental regulations are information on statutory requirements, which have to be complied with, especially during disposal.
You are not allowed to disconnect the module in active mode. Hot plugging or hot swapping is not allowed in active mode! There is a risk of short circuit between the battery modules. Only in shut- down mode old or damaged modules can be replaced with new modules.
Level Protection for over voltage/ under voltage / over current / short circuit / over temperature/ under temperature. It is controlled by the BMS software and is permanent. Level Protection for over current / short circuit, which is controlled by the BMS hardware. Level Protection (passive) with current fuse on board.

Introduction of ASB Application Specific Batteries (ASB) is VARTA’s new range of lithium-rechargeable battery products from VARTA Storage GmbH, offering products in the voltage range of 24V – 48V for modern systems and applications. We offer a growing range of battery packs that are immediately available for high-energy or high- power applications.
Definitions and Standards BASICS Unless otherwise stated the technical values and definitions are based on room temperature conditions (RT = 22°C ± 3°C). VOLTAGE DEFINITIONS Open Circuit Voltage (OCV): End of Discharge Voltage (EoD): is the difference of electrical potential between The voltage at the end of discharging depending two terminals of a device when disconnected on discharge rate and temperature.
Features VARTA Storage ASB batteries are first choice for a number of modern high-tech products in fields such as robotics, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), related Logistics and Agricultural solutions and more.
The Power cable is not provided by VARTA. These are available from the distributors. See contact details at page 7. VARTA recommends to use a M6 screw type for the negative terminal and a M8 screw type for the positive terminal. For connection of the modules an additional bus bar or a wires with cable lug is needed.
See contact details at page 7. VARTA recommends to use Phoenix Contact 157816 or similar. A system without CAN communication to Host needs two CAN termination resistors of 120 Ohm each. One CAN termination resistor has to be connected on the M12 connector of the first Module and one CAN termination resistor has to be connected to the M12 connector of the last Module.
Setup a system Mechanical connection The modules can be connected in “x1” or “z2” direction for Easy Blade. For Easy Block “x3” and or “y3” directions are possible via two module connectors, shown below in black. Place the module connectors inside the recess of two modules (see below picture). The module connectors are asymmetric and have a broad and a narrow side.
For removal of the module connector loosen the screw and remove the module connector. If the connector is stuck, use a screwdriver for pulling it out of the recess via the side opening in the connector. The modules can be connected in z1 (Easy Blade) and z3 (Easy Block) directions. You can stack the batteries via the design features on the bottom and on the top of each module.
Step 1: Minus terminal Connect the Power Minus of all modules in parallel. Please note the Power minus is marked with the symbol -. For connection of the modules an additional bus bar or a wires with cable lug is needed. Step 2: Plus terminal Connect the Power Plus of all modules in parallel.
all other batteries in parallel will show the same blinking code with a little time delay. When the LEDs of all batteries are solid green, the system is configured successfully. Technical details: Not configured batteries will not have a valid Node ID and will also not send any messages on the CAN bus.
Discharging: Discharging is going to start once a load is connected to the system. Discharging is possible without CAN communication to the device. Charging: Connect a VARTA approved CAN charger to the system. Charging starts once there is a CAN communication between Master and charger.
10 Charging Charge algorithm is controlled by the battery itself. Either a VARTA approved charger can be used or also a customized charger which follows the CANopen standard and the VARTA ASB charger specification. Charging will not start without CAN communication.
12 The CAN Protocol The communication between all batteries in the system, the charger and the application (optional) is done via the standardized CANopen protocol. For more detailed information about CANopen please visit the official website from “CAN in Automation” (CiA) at https://www.can-cia.org/canopen/ At normal operation, all necessary data is transmitted via PDOs in cyclic intervals.
12.3 Communication sent by the battery master (for charger) The master also sends the system´s requirements for charging to the charging device. Data CAN-ID Type Node-ID Event not used Battery SOC not used Charge Voltage Req. Charge Current Req. Charge Enable TPDO_9 0x264 PDO uint8 uint8...
