This document details procedures to be followed while installing and operating AMARON QUANTA SMF-VRLA batteries. The procedures herein described are meant for use by the customers of AmaraRaja Batteries. This document is a part of the documentation system in AmaraRaja Batteries Limited and the procedures described in this manual are supportive to the quality manual.
Section 1 - General Information 1.0 AMARON QUANTA Batteries In normal use, AMARON QUANTA Batteries will not generate or release hydrogen and oxygen gases, will not release acid mist and will not have acid leak. This is because AMARON QUANTA Batteries are designed differently from conventional lead acid batteries in order to provide maintenance - free operation.
2.3 Electrical shock and burns All installation tools should be adequately insulated / covered with vinyl electrical tape, or suitable non- conducting material to minimize possibility of shorting across connections. Never lay tools or other metallic objects on modules as it may result in shorting of battery leading to explosions and personal injury.
3.1 Concealed Damage Immediately upon receipt of shipment examine all the batteries and cabinets for concealed damage. If damage is noticed, immediately request an inspection by the carrier and file a concealed damage claim. Any delay in notifying carrier may result in loss or no right to reimbursement for damages. Section 4 - Storage Prior to Installation 4.0 Storage Location Do not locate batteries in places exposed to direct sun light, rain dust, storm etc.
Section 5 - General Installation Consideration Prior to installation of the AMARON QUANTA battery system, a review of this section is strongly recommended. 5.0 Battery Location It is recommended that the battery unit be installed in a clean, cool & dry location. Floor should be reasonably level and able to support the battery weight.
Average Ambient Voltage Settings Volts Per Module (VPM) ° Temperature Float Boost ° 13.5 VPM 13.8 VPM 5.3 Floor Loading The floor of the area where the battery system is to be installed should have the capability to support the weight of the battery system, as well as any auxiliary equipment.
Section 7 - Electrical Installation Considerations 7.0 Connecting Cables Cable size selection should provide the lowest voltage drop possible between the battery system and operating equipment. Excessive voltage drop will reduce the desired support time of the battery system. The maximum voltage drop in the cable between the system and operating equipment should not be more than 0.03V per meter length.

7.4. Connections 7.4.1 General Battery terminal and inter-battery connections should be corrosion free and tight for trouble-free operation. Periodically these connections should be inspected to assure cleanliness and integrity. Caution: Do not work on connectors with battery connected to charger or load. If corrosion is present, disconnect the connector from the terminal.

The maximum charging current under normal operation should be limited to 25% of the rated capacity of the battery at the C20 rate (for an 100 Ah battery @ 20 Hr rate, the maximum charging current should be 25A). The duration of charge should be twenty four (24) hours. Section 9 - Operation 9.0 Float Charge In this type of operation, the battery is connected in parallel with a constant voltage charger and the critical...

9.2 Recharge All batteries should be recharged as soon as possible, following a discharge, with constant voltage chargers. However, to charge in the shortest period of time, raise the charger output voltage to boost mode, i.e. 2.3 VPC. The charger used should incorporate a current limit feature. The maximum recommended charge current for the AMARON QUANTA battery is limited to 25% of the rated capacity of the battery at the C...

Section 14 - Do’s and Don'ts DO’S Upon receipt of shipment unload and store the batteries in covered area. Read ‘Installation and operating "instruction Manual" prior to installation of the batteries. Clean the batteries as and when dust accumulates. Provide sufficient ventilation, if the batteries are placed in cubicle. The terminal bolt connection to be torque to 11 Nm (100 lb.
