7.2. Preventing Deep Discharging Turn the aentron energy storage system off if you are not using it for a long period of time to avoid deep discharging of the aentron energy storage system. aentron GmbH has implemented extensive hardware and software functions to prevent the aentron energy storage system from deep discharging.
Lifetime When an aentron energy storage system enters the deep discharge protection state, aentron GmbH considers this "misuse". The warranty will be void if this occurs a second time, see chapter 11.1. Warranty Conditions. To put the aentron energy storage system back into normal operation, aentron service at the operating company's expense is required.
Please note our T&Cs at www.aentron.com/en/gtc 7.5.1. Packaging If possible, please use the original packaging of the aentron GmbH to return the product. This packaging has the required quality and all the necessary labelling required for return shipping. For this reason, please keep the original packaging or the product packaging until the end of the warranty period.
