Service life of the

The intelligent functions of the power source (see the
tion on page 31) play a significant role in increasing the service life of the battery.
However, the user must observe the following key points in order to guarantee maximum
battery life:
-
WARNING! Improper handling of batteries can cause injuries or damage. The
power source is operated using a lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack.
Note the following points without exception:
- Never expose the power source to naked flames. Excessive heat can cause
the battery to explode or burst.
- Do not open the power source or remove the battery. If the battery becomes
damaged due to improper handling, poisonous substances can escape
which may be harmful to health.
- Do not drop the power source into water. This can cause a short circuit, even
if the power source is switched off. This in turn can cause the battery to be-
come hot, ignite or burst.
WARNING! Improper handling can cause injuries or damage. Do not open the
power source.
The power source may only be opened by a Fronius service engineer.
If you need a replacement battery, hand the power source over to a Fronius Ser-
