The 24VDC Li ESM 2000 is protected against accidental activation. Must • Net Weight Limit The net weight of the lithium batteries in the 24VDC Li ESM 2000 is 25.49 kg and is below the maximum of 35 kg net weight limit. • Marking and Labeling The 24VDC Li ESM 2000 shipping container must bear the following labels: Class 9 hazard and Cargo Aircraft Only labels.
Solar Stik is also able to handle disposal of the Li ESM at a cost to the customer. Solar Stik may be contacted at 800-793-4364. The Li ESM contains recyclable materials, and recycling is encouraged over disposal if a lithium battery recycling facility is available.
• Do not mix Li-ion batteries and lead-acid or most other types of Li-ion batteries because their operational parameters and capacities are likely to differ. • ESMs are charged most effectively using Solar Stik HPS power management components. Any other charging device must be rated for the ESM’s storage capacity, voltage, and current limit.
Operator and Maintenance Manual for the 24VDC Li ESM 2000 Battery Management System (BMS) The 24VDC Li ESM 2000 consists of LiFePO cells and an advanced BMS that performs, in very general terms, two vital functions: 1. The BMS manages all battery functions and promotes healthy cycling at the individual cell level.
Operator and Maintenance Manual for the 24VDC Li ESM 2000 ESM State of Health (SOH) The battery implements a State of Health algorithm that predictively estimates the useful lifetime of the battery cells. As shipped at beginning of life, the ESM 2000 is configured to deliver a nameplate capacity of 82 Ah.
Operator and Maintenance Manual for the 24VDC Li ESM 2000 Internal Battery Heater Lithium-Ion batteries allow maximum charge and discharge at warmer temperatures. To maintain optimal internal temperatures, the ESM 2000 internal battery is equipped with heaters that automatically keep the internal battery temperature at 20°C when the ESM is operating in cold temperatures.
Operator and Maintenance Manual for the 24VDC Li ESM 2000 OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS Prior to operating the ESM in an HPS for the first time, charge it fully with a PRO-Verter, Power Hub, or an other charging source, such as a battery charger, until the battery reaches 100% SOC.
Operator and Maintenance Manual for the 24VDC Li ESM 2000 Connect ESM Bank to Power Management ESM–specific ports on Solar Stik power management components are labeled “ESM ONLY” or “EXPANDER PAK ONLY”. The examples below read “EXPANDER PAK ONLY” and may be treated as the functional equivalent to “ESM ONLY”.
Operator and Maintenance Manual for the 24VDC Li ESM 2000 Activate ESM(s): Operational Mode Remove safety/cotter pin and toggle POWER switch to ON. Over the course of ~ one (1) min. several startup tests (PBIT) results will be displayed (Figure 14) before the Status Indicator displays the Operational-Mode screen (Figure 13).

Operator and Maintenance Manual for the 24VDC Li ESM 2000 In-service Battery Status Information The Battery Status Indicator automatically refreshes at three (3)-minute intervals when it the ESM is operating normally. The “REFRESH DISPLAY” momentary button can be pressed to update the display at any time while the ESM 2000 is operating.
If this doesn’t clear the fault, apply a charging source with the POWER switch turned ON for at least two (2) minutes. If this fails to clear the fault, contact Solar Stik. Battery Voltage Low – “Battery voltage low” fault occurs when the ESM battery voltage falls below 20 VDC.
Operator and Maintenance Manual for the 24VDC Li ESM 2000 MAINTENANCE CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS In-storage ESM status information The Battery Status Indicator will display the last status acquired before the POWER switch was turned OFF. However, battery voltage will decrease during storage due to self-discharge. Toggle ON the POWER switch to update in-storage battery status.
Operator and Maintenance Manual for the 24VDC Li ESM 2000 In-storage Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services The ESM 2000 is designed to be capable of not less than two (2) years of warehouse storage, without any maintenance during storage at a temperature of 72 +5 ºF (22 +5 ºC). However, storage temperature can vary widely from this relatively mild temperature.
