Galaxy A16F-R2431 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual
BBU Warnings and Precautions
Install or replace the BBU with BBUs supplied by your Galaxy
subsystem vendors only. Use of battery cells provided from another
source will void your warranty.
Always dispose of used batteries in an ecologically responsible manner
at authorized battery disposal sites only.
Do not use nor leave the BBU near a heat source. Heat can melt the
insulation and damage other safety features of the battery cells,
possibly causing an acid leak and may result in a fire or explosion.
Do not immerse the BBU in water nor allow it to get wet. Its protective
features can be damaged and abnormal chemical reactions may occur,
possibly causing functional defects, acid leaks, and other hazardous
results.
Do not disassemble or modify the BBU. If disassembled, the BBU
could leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
Do not pierce the BBU with a sharp object, strike it with a hammer,
step on it, or throw it. These actions could damage or deform it and
internal short-circuiting can occur, possibly causing functional defects,
acid leaks, and other hazardous results.
If a BBU leaks, gives off a bad odor, generates heat, becomes
discolored or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal during use,
recharging or storage, immediately remove it from the subsystem and
stop using it. If this is discovered when you first use the BBU, return it
to your system vendor.
A new or replaced BBU takes at least twelve (12) hours to charge to its
full capacity.
The life expectancy of a BBU is more than one year. However, batteries'
life span can fluctuate depending on how many times batteries are
charged and discharged. An installation date record is kept in the
EEPROM embedded in the battery module. After reaching the one-year
life expectancy, system firmware will automatically notify system
administrators. Follow the procedures in Section 5.4 to replace a BBU
that is not able to hold charge.
