trak bloc batteries are closed batteries with suspended electrolytes that must not be topped
®
up with water for the entire duration of the service life. Pressure relief valves are used as
sealing plugs. These valves stop oxygen getting into the cells and drain off any excess char-
ging gases. The valves must not be removed. During operation, the same safety requirements
apply to the closed batteries as to batteries with liquid electrolyte in order to prevent electric
shock and explosion of the electrolytic charging gases and to avoid the risk of corrosive elec-
trolytes if the cell container is destroyed.
Observe the usage instructions
and install in a visible position
at the charging bay. Only trained
personnel may perform work on
batteries.
Wear protective goggles, pro-
tective gloves and protective
clothing when working on bat-
teries! Observe the accident pre-
vention regulations as well as
DIN EN 50110-1 and IEC 62485-3.
During installation/commissi-
oning, maintenance, cleaning
and disassembly wear additional
face protection (impact-resistant
visor according to EN 166 Class F).
Smoking is prohibited. There
must be no naked flames,
embers or sparks in the vicinity
of the battery, as this poses a risk
of explosion and a fire hazard.
Keep children away from bat-
teries!
Rinse eyes or skin splashed with
acid using plenty of clean water.
Then consult a doctor immedi-
ately. Wash clothing contami-
nated with acid with plenty of
water.
Electrolyte is highly corrosive.
Contact with electrolyte is not
possible during normal opera-
tion.
Risk of explosion and fire, avoid
short circuits!
Only use approved lifting and
transportation equipment, e. g.
lifting gear in accordance with
VDI 3616. Lifting hooks must
not cause any damage to cells,
connectors or connecting cables.

Attention: Metallic parts of the battery
cells are always live. Therefore, no foreign
objects or tools may be placed on the bat-
teries.
Warranty claims will no longer be valid in
the event of non-observance of the usage
instructions, repairs using non-original
spare parts or unauthorised intervention.
1. Start-up
The battery must be checked to ensure that
it is in mechanically perfect condition. The
installation area must be cleaned prior to
installation.
Only interconnect battery blocks with the
same charge state (same open-circuit vol-
tage, tolerance as per the following table).
Never power electrical consumers via a part
of the battery.
The battery blocks must be connected to
each other and to the vehicle with touch
protection. The battery terminal end must
be connected with the correct polarity and
with reliable contact. Otherwise, the batte-
ries, the vehicle or the charging device may
be destroyed. The battery must be rechar-
ged as per Item.

2. Operation
The regulations in accordance with Standard
EN 62485 – Safety requirements for secondary
batteries and battery installations – Part 3
apply for the operation of vehicle batteries.
Traction batteries for electric vehicles.
2.1 Discharging
The battery valves must not be closed or
covered. Electrical connections (e. g. plug
connectors) must only be opened or closed
when in de-energised state.
In order to achieve an optimal service life,
discharge of over 60 % of the rated capacity
should be avoided. Discharge of over 80 %
of the rated capacity is a deep discharge and
is not permissible. These significantly reduce
the service life of the battery. Only those
discharge state indicators that have been
approved by the battery manufacturer may
be used.
Discharged batteries must be charged imme-
diately and must not remain in discharged
state. This also applies to batteries in a state
of deep discharge. Otherwise, the service life
of the battery will be significantly reduced.
The battery may freeze when in discharged
state.
2.2 Charging
Batteries must only be charged with direct
current. The charging methods in accordance
with DIN 41773-1 must only be applied in
the modification approved by the manufac-
turer HOPPECKE. Therefore, only those char-
gers that have been approved by the bat-
tery manufacturer HOPPECKE may be used. In
order to prevent overloading of the electrical
cables and contacts and impermissible gas
formation, the battery must only be connec-
ted to the allocated charger that is permissib-
le for the respective battery size.
trak bloc batteries have low gas
®
emissions but are not completely free from
gas emissions.
It must be ensured that the charging gases
are drained off effectively during charging.
