1. Introduction
The BMOD0010 E160 B02 energy storage modules are self-contained energy storage devices
comprised of either sixty individual ultracapacitor cells, respectively. The modules include passively
balanced ultracapacitor cells that are wave soldered to a printed circuit board. Units may be
connected in series to obtain higher operating voltages, parallel to provide additional energy storage,
or a combination of series/parallel arrangements for higher voltages and energy. To provide long
life, passive balancing is used to provide an equal voltage bias to individual cells.
The module packaging is a rigid plastic enclosure that is at least IP 20 (per IEC 529). BMOD0010
modules also have a voltage center tap for monitoring purposes.
2. Unpacking and Handling
Unpacking
Inspect the shipping carton for signs of damage prior to unpacking the module. Damage to the
shipping carton or module should be reported to the carrier immediately. Remove the module from
the shipping carton and retain the shipping materials until the unit has been inspected and is
determined to be operational.
NOTE: The original shipping materials are approved for both air and ground shipment.
The original shipping container may contain the following:
▪ Energy Storage Module(s) (3x for BMOD0010)
o If a Maxwell business partner has repackaged the unit(s) for shipment the quantity
may be different.
▪ 1 x Product Information Sheet (optional)
If the unit is found to be defective or any parts are missing, contact your supplier. A Return Material
Authorization (RMA) number must be issued prior to returning the unit for repair or replacement.
Handling
Maxwell ultracapacitor modules are designed to provide years of trouble-free operation. Proper
handling is required to avoid damage to the module. In particular, the following handling
precautions should be observed:
•
Do not stack modules once they have been removed from the shipping containers.
•
Do not drop modules. Internal damage may occur that will not be visible from the exterior.
•
Do not step on modules.
