Commissioning Instructions and Report
Dry pre-charged
traction batteries: Perfect Plus
This document is complementary to the Perfect Plus
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
• Pay attention to the operation instruction and fix them
close to the battery.
• Work on batteries to be carried out by skilled personnel
only!
• Use protective glasses and clothes when working on
batteries. Pay attention to the accident prevention
rules as well as DIN EN 50272-3 and DIN EN 50110-1.
• No smoking!
• Do not expose batteries to naked flames, glowing
embers or sparks, as it may cause the battery to
explode.
• Acid splashes in the eyes or on the skin must be
washed with water. In case of accident consult a
doctor immediately!
• Clothing contaminated by acid should be washed in
water.
Ignoring the operation instructions, repair with non-original parts or using additives for the electrolyte will render the warranty void.
For batteries according to the ATEX directive 94/9 EC, the instructions for maintaining the appropriate protection class during operation must be complied
with (see relevant certificate).
Completed commissioning reports should be sent back to the battery manufacturer!
Description
The dry charged batteries are supplied charged but without electrolyte
inside the cells. On request containers with electrolyte ready to use can be
supplied. The negative plates are protected against oxidation. Each cell is
closed by a cap during the storage.
Store the cells or the battery in a dry and cool zone, wind moisture, rain
and snow free. Do not store more than 2 years. It is very important not to
remove the caps.
1. Checking
The battery installation and the charging equipment should be inspected
to ensure they are in perfect mechanical condition.
All cables must be connected to ensure a good contact, taking care that
the polarity is correct. All threaded connectors in the circuit must be
tightened in order to ensure a reliable contact.
For bolt on connectors, check the torque loading of the polscrews:
M 10
A check must be made to ensure the charger equipment is ready for
operation. Ensure that the polarity is correct ( positive to positive and
negative to negative). Before filling the cells care should be taken to
ensure that the specifications DIN EN 50272-3 or currently applied in the
country of use with regard to the installation and ventilation have been
complied with.

• Risk of explosion and fire, avoid short circuits!
Caution: Metal parts of the battery are always live.
Do not place tools or other metal objects on the battery!
• Electrolyte is highly corrosive.
• Batteries and cells are heavy. Ensure secure installation!
• Use only suitable handling equipment e.g. lifting gear
in accordance with VDI 3616.
• Dangerous electrical voltage!
• Pay attention to the hazards that can be caused by
batteries
2. Filling of cells
If the cells are supplied in bulk, put them in the battery crate according to
the connecting instruction. If the filling electrolyte is not supplied by
EnerSys ® , the impurities levels must respect DIN 43530-2.
The filling acid must have a specific gravity (S. G.) in accordance with the
following table. If the s.g. of available filling electrolyte is different from
the values mentioned in table 1, take required precautions to prepare the
mix of acid and water.

The temperature of the acid used for filling should be between 15°C and
30°C. The temperature must be measured and recorded before filling.
After removing the transport plugs , the cells should be filled until the
anti-surge baffle or the top of the separator. Acid resistant filling
equipment should be used for this. Transport plugs are not permissible for
use when operating the battery. They must be replaced by vent plugs.
