Inspection of the new Battery System

Upon receipt of the Battery System, a careful inspection for shipping damage should be
made. Use caution when removing the unit from pallet. Refer to labels or documentation
attached to packing material.
After Uncrating:
1) Check the unit for loose, broken, bent, or otherwise damaged parts. If damage has
occurred during shipment, keep all original crating and packing materials for return
to the shipping agent. Warranty will not apply to units that are damaged during
shipment.
2) Check to see that the rated capacity and the model number specified on the
nameplate conform to the order specifications.
2.3

Storage of the Battery System

If the battery system is to be subjected to long or short term storage, the following
guidelines should be used.
Avoid:
1) Storage in sites subject to extreme changes in temperature or high humidity.
2) Storage in sites subject to exposures of high levels of dust or metal particles.
3) Storage on inclined floor surfaces or in sites subject to excessive vibrations.
Before Storing:
1) Charge the systems batteries. (See connection diagram on page 5-1)
2) Place the Battery Systems input switch (MCCB-B) in the OFF position.
Storing:
1) Store within a temperature range of –20° to 40° C (-4° to 107° F)
2) For best results store the Battery System in the original shipping container and
place on a wood pallet.
3) The optimum storage temperature is 21°C (70° F). Higher ambient temperatures
cause the batteries to need recharging more frequently.
After Storing:
Batteries need to be recharged to maintain life during storage. Please follow the
recommended recharges for your condition. (FAILURE TO MAINTAIN BATTERY
CONDITION WILL VOID BATTERY WARRANTY)
1) If stored in an ambient temperature under 20° C (68° F), recharge the batteries
every 9 months.
2) If stored in an ambient temperature of 20° to 30° C (68° to 86° F), recharge the
batteries every 6 months.
3) If stored in an ambient temperature of 30° to 40° C (86° to 104° F), Please consult
the factory (adjustment to the system charger will be needed or over charge
could occur).
