Install the KiloVault® HAB™ out of the reach of children and animals. Warning: The KiloVault® HAB™ is heavy, over 230 lb (105 kg), and may cause serious back injury. Lift with multiple people and lifting equipment rated to lift and support at least 230 lb. -
Page 8: Battery Handling Guide
• Verify that all equipment that is going to be connected to the KiloVault® HAB™ is turned off before making any connections. • A small risk of spark does exist while making connections. Ensure the area is free of explo- sive gasses and liquids and is not installed in confined areas. -
Page 9: Response To Emergency Situations
1.3.3. Response to Emergency Situations The HAB™ is comprised of multiple batteries and is designed to prevent hazards resulting from failures; however, no battery system is 100% safe, and KiloVault®, LLC cannot guarantee its absolute safety. In the unlikely event of a fire first shut off the source of the electricity if possible. We recom- mend a fire extinguisher in close proximity of your power generating equipment. -
Page 10: Overview
Warning: Never connect HAB™ units in series! KiloVault® HAB™ Series wall-mount energy storage systems provide a 7.5 Kilowatt-hour (7 kilowatt-hour usable) battery in a single package. Up to 14 units can be connected in parallel for additional capacity. The HAB™ Series has been designed for trouble-free mounting and is easy to connect with other system components. -
