near electrical equipment.
DANGER: Risk of fire. Do not allow or place flammable,
sparking, or explosive items near the IQ Battery(ies).
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. In areas where flooding
is possible, install the IQ Battery(ies) at a height that
prevents water ingress.
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. AC voltage is present at
the output when the DC switch is on.
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Branch circuit
protection must be off before switching DC power on
or off.
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. The DC switch must be
in the OFF position for shipping and service.

WARNING: When placing the IQ Battery(ies) in storage,
ensure that AC power is not present and that the
DC switch is in the OFF state (LED not on). While in
storage, damage to the battery can occur from over-
discharge. If the battery state of charge falls to 0%, the
IQ Battery(ies) can be damaged or destroyed. Because
of this, the IQ Battery(ies) must only be stored for a
limited amount of time.
• The IQ Battery(ies) must be installed and energized
by the "Must Energize By" date on the shipping box
label.
• The IQ Battery(ies) must have a SoC (State of
Charge) of no more than 30% when placed in
storage. To do this, the IQ Battery(ies) must be
switched OFF when it reaches 30% SoC.
• If the IQ Battery(ies) has already been installed, it
must be discharged to 30% SoC and be switched
OFF prior to uninstalling. A battery in OFF state can
be stored for a maximum of two months from the
time it was switched OFF.
NOTE: Inspect the packaging and the IQ Battery(ies)
for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or
electrolyte leaks. Do not install or use the IQ Battery(ies)
if it has been dropped or damaged in any way. If it is
damaged, contact your distributor for replacement.
NOTE: These mounting instructions are for the
included mounting bracket only. If you wish to install
IQ Battery 10C in a floor-mount configuration, order
the pedestal accessory (B05C-PI-0550-O) and refer to
the floor-mount instructions shipped with the product.
This product must be installed with clearance at the
left, right, top, bottom, and front, as shown in section
– minimum clearances.
