  • Page 3: Safety Notes

    Electrolyte is highly corrosive. During normal operation it is not possible to come into contact with the electrolyte. Electrolyte can get released only if the cell housing gets damaged. © 2012, Hoppecke Batterie Systeme GmbH, all rights reserved.
  • Page 4: First-Aid Measures

    Swallowing electrolyte  Gargle with plenty of water and drink large quantities of water repeatedly.  Do not cause vomiting. Call for an emergency doctor promptly. © 2012, Hoppecke Batterie Systeme GmbH, all rights reserved.
  • Page 5: System Description

    Hydrogen and oxygen formed while charging are fed through the hose pipes to a central de- gasification facility with flame arrestor and, thus, released into the environment in a controlled manner. Figure 2: Flame arrestor © 2012, Hoppecke Batterie Systeme GmbH, all rights reserved.

    2. Connect both the hose pipes of the waterfilling cart to the battery using the quick couplers. Caution: Disconnect the waterfilling cart from the mains supply; it should not be connected to the mains during the filling operation. © 2012, Hoppecke Batterie Systeme GmbH, all rights reserved.
  • Page 9: Filling Operation

    In addition, overfilling will change the electrolyte density and the performance of the battery can be negatively affected. If cells are filled above maximum level, contact HOPPECKE service. © 2012, Hoppecke Batterie Systeme GmbH, all rights reserved.
  • Page 10: After The Filling Operation

    Shut down the waterfilling cart and, if required, connect it to the 230V mains supply to charge up the internal rechargeable battery. Caution: The water extracted may contain alkaline residues! Please observe and follow the local / relevant provisions for disposal. © 2012, Hoppecke Batterie Systeme GmbH, all rights reserved.
