ASTERION SEALED LEAD ACID BATTERIES WITH
REGULATING VALVES
BATTERY PASSPORT AND OPERATING MANUAL
Please read this manual carefully before starting work and keep it for future reference. Failure to follow the
instructions or warnings in this document could result in system failure, electric shock, serious injury, or death.
This manual may be subject to changes without prior notice due to product improvements or technical updates.

1. INTRODUCTION
Sealed batteries do not require topping up the distillate throughout the entire service life. Sealing of batteries is
carried out by using a valve that relieves excess gas pressure in the battery to prevent deformation of the battery.
Opening the lid and sealing valve is strictly forbidden, and leads to damage to the battery.
Rated battery voltage:
where U=2 V/cell – voltage each battery cell; m – number of series connected cells, are included in the battery.
The rated voltage is marked on the battery case.
Rated battery discharge current:
где I – rated battery discharge current, А; С

2. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
This manual uses the following symbols to highlight important information on potential hazards and safety notes.
This symbol indicates important safety notes failure to follow which may result in serious injury or death.
This symbol indicates important safety notes failure to follow which may result in injury or equipment
malfunction.
This symbol marks the operation notes.
General safety requirements must be observed according the standards of
and operating batteries.
Lead-acid battery installation, operation and maintenance require corresponding level of technical
competence. Any work with the equipment shall be performed only by qualified personnel having
adequate permit level.
If the instructions and operating procedures outlined in this manual are followed, the lead-acid battery will
not pose a risk to human health.
It is safe for personnel to remain in the same area as batteries at all times, provided the measures outlined
in this manual are followed.
Follow the instructions of this manual in order to exclude any mistakes or the equipment malfunction.
Battery shall be used for intended purpose. Do not dismantle or modify the device.
In order to prevent explosive and fire hazards, it is strictly prohibited to use open flames, welding or
sparking near the battery.
Batteries are always live. Do not place tools or foreign objects on the battery. Avoid short circuit.
It is strictly prohibited to connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery, as this may result in a
short circuit and damage to the battery.

IEC 62485-1:2015 during
Before beginning any work, please remove wristwatches, rings, and other items that may contain
conductive materials.
Wear protection equipment such as steel-toe boots with non-slipping soles, gloves and safety glasses.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, short circuit and injury, use electrical insulation of at least 1,000V
during the equipment installation.
Electrolyte – an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid – an aggressive substance! In normal use, contact with
electrolyte is excluded. When the case is destroyed, the possibility of leakage of electrolyte. Using
and
damaged batteries is strictly prohibited!
If acid gets into eyes or skin, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention immediately. Acid-
contaminated clothing should be washed immediately with plenty of water.
Batteries have significant weight. Ensure proper battery placement during installation and operation. Do
not put on the edge. To avoid the falls and shock battery. For transportation use only the means intended
for this.
3. COMMISSIONING
During installation, batteries must be installed with a temperature gap of 10-20 mm. In the absence of a
temperature gap, local overheating of the batteries is possible, which can lead to their failure.
Before commissioning, it is necessary to check all batteries/ group of batteries for mechanical damage, for the
correct polarity of the connection and the strength of fastening of all threaded connections.
When operating a group of series-connected batteries, the difference between their temperatures in the group
should not exceed 4 °C.
Table 1. Tightening torque for bolted connection.
Protective caps must be installed on the boron.
With the charger turned off and the consumer disconnected, connect the battery to the rectifier equipment
according to the polarity. Turn on the charger and charge the battery in accordance with section 4.2 and 4.4.
installing
When commissioning a group of batteries, battery equalization must be carried out in accordance with
section 4.3.
Remember that the combined use of old and new batteries, as well as batteries of different brands and
series in the same circuit, can shorten the design life of the batteries. The warranty on the battery does
not apply in this case, the failure of the batteries is considered as a non-warranty case.
4. OPERATION
When installing and operating batteries, the standards IEC 62485-2:2010 and the regional rules and regulations
must be observed.
Battery operation is permissible in any position except turned upside down.
To avoid direct sunlight during operation.
When using the battery, it is necessary to charge it at least 1 time per day or after each use, even with a
short idle time.
GEL series batteries must be operated in an upright position after topping up the electrolyte.
It is not allowed to operate the battery in malfunctioning equipment!
