9. INSTALLATION
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
• This equipment must only be installed as specified.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
• If the battery case has been damaged, do not touch exposed contents.
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury.
• Some chargers and inverters support temperature-compensated charging. Disable
temperature-compensated charging on the charger or inverter.
• Do not use or install a battery temperature sensor.
• It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all applicable installation
requirements and standards are met.
9.1 Tools
• Insulated tools sized to match nuts, bolts, and cables
• RMS type Voltmeter
• Post cleaner and wire brush
• Personal protective equipment
9.2 Location
Install the battery in locations that meet the following requirements:
1. Do not install in direct sunlight. Avoid installing the battery in an area with high
ambient temperature or an area exposed to UV rays.
2. Moderate temperature. The ambient temperature should be between 0°C and
40°C (32°F and 104°F). Ambient temperatures of 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F)
are ideal for extending LiFePO
a generator or other component that produces significant heat, as this could
expose the battery to temperatures greater than 40°C (104°F).
3. Ventilation. Do not install in zero-clearance compartments.
When installing a single battery, allow spacing of at least 25 mm (1 in) around
the perimeter of the battery.
When installing multiple batteries, allow spacing of at least 10 mm (0.4 in)
between batteries.
When installing multiple batteries vertically in tiers, allow at least 25 mm (1 in)
between a battery and the rack above it, except for the top tier of batteries. Allow
a clearance of at least 150 mm (5.9 in) between the top battery and the roof of
the enclosure.
