  • Page 14: Battery In Operation

    4 BATTERY IN OPERATION 4.1 Battery Warm-Up The Fiamm SoNick 48TL160H battery needs to be warm before it starts to deliver energy since it operates between 265° and 350°C (509-662°F). The BMS performs the warm-up process automatically as soon as it is powered (by the power switch or by the external 48V EPO Emergency Power Off circuit).

    20% of its nominal capacity value this LED turns to a blinking indication. The rated capacity of The Fiamm SoNick 48TL160H battery is 160 Ah. At higher rates the capacity is lower because of the higher internal resistance losses; at lower rates the useful capacity is lower due to the fact that some power is needed to maintain the battery at the internally working temperature and this power is drawn from the battery itself.
