  • Page 7: Introduction

    AMARON QUANTA - LIFE UNINTERRUPTED 1 INTRODUCTION Amara Raja Batteries Ltd, (ARBL) the largest manufacturer of stand by Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries in the Indian Ocean Rim, comprising the area ranging from Africa and the Middle East to South East Asia.

  • Page 8: Major Advantages Of Vrla Batteries

    AMARON QUANTA - LIFE UNINTERRUPTED In conventional lead acid batteries towards the end of charging, the oxygen gas gets evolved at the +ve electrode and the hydrogen gas gets evolved at the –ve electrode. These gases will bubble out through the free electrolyte media and escapes into the environment, there by water are lost from the battery.

  • Page 9: General Information

    AMARON QUANTA - LIFE UNINTERRUPTED 4 GENERAL INFORMATION 4.1 AMARON QUANTATM & HWS BATTERIES In normal use, AMARON QUANTATM & HWS 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 QUANTATM & HWS Batteries are designed differently from conventional lead acid batteries in order to provide maintenance - free operation.

  • Page 10: Sulphuric Acid Burns

    AMARON QUANTA - LIFE UNINTERRUPTED 5.2 SULFURIC ACID BURNS Batteries contain sulfuric acid, which can DANGER cause burns and other serious injuries. In the event of contact with sulfuric acid, flush SULFURIC ACID BURNS immediately and thoroughly with water. Secure medical attention immediately. When working with batteries, wear a rubber apron, rubber gloves and safety goggles or other eye protecting equipment.

    CAUTION If the foregoing precautions are not fully understood, clarification should be obtained from your nearest Amara Raja representative. 5.5 IMPORTANT MESSAGE The symbol at the left indicates an important message. If not followed, damage to and / or impaired performance of the battery may result.

  • Page 12: Receipt Of Shipment

    AMARON QUANTA - LIFE UNINTERRUPTED 6 RECEIPT OF SHIPMENT 6.1 DELIVERY INSPECTION Upon receipt of shipment unload and store the batteries in covered area. Do not expose them to direct sun light, rain, dust, storm, etc. Immediately upon delivery, examine for possible damage caused in transit, damaged packing material could indicate rough handling.

  • Page 13: Storage Interval

    AMARON QUANTA - LIFE UNINTERRUPTED If the battery is not to be installed at the time of receipt, it is recommended that it to be stored indoors at a temperature of 15 C - 32 C, clean, dry location provided with a freshening charge interval detailed in Section 7.1.
  • Page 14 AMARON QUANTA - LIFE UNINTERRUPTED Storage beyond these periods without charge can result in excessive sulphation of plates, which is detrimental to battery performance and life. Instruction on how to apply a freshening charge are detailed in 11.0. Important Note: Wherever charging current is referred in this manual, the following tabular charging current values to be consider for corresponding HWS models.

  • Page 15: General Installation Considerations

    AMARON QUANTA - LIFE UNINTERRUPTED environments unlike other plastics such as ABS. Since the VRLA batteries works under positive pressure to support superior oxygen recombination in the battery, PPCP which is elastic in nature has bulging as a normal property. This Elongation is due to material characteristics and it will not have any adverse effects on battery performance when operated at normal conditions as recommended by the manufacturers.

  • Page 16: Ventilation

    AMARON QUANTA - LIFE UNINTERRUPTED 8.2 VENTILATION The AMARON QUANTATM & HWS battery is a valve-regulated lead-acid battery, which is under normal recommended charging, in a stationary application, does not vent any gases. Tests have confirmed that more than 98% of gases generated are recombined within the battery. Under normal operating conditions, no special ventilation and / or battery room is required NEVER INSTALL BATTERIES IN AIR TIGHT ENCLOSURES.
