3.1GeneralSafetyInformation
Onlyqualifiedindividualsaretoservicebatterysystems.
TheBatteryStackisdesignedtobeULrecognized.
TheULrecognitionisinprogress.Certificationtestsinclude:
oUL1973‐23Vibration
oUL1973‐24Shock
oUL1973‐25Crush
oUL1973‐26StaticForce
oUL1973‐27Impact
oUL1973‐35SaltFog
oUL1973‐36ExternalFireExposure
3.2ElectricalHazards
Neverplaceforeignobjectsortoolsinorontheunitasthemetalpartsofthebatteryterminalsare
alwayslive.
Electricalhazardsexistinthevoltageandcurrentrangesthatarefoundinbatterysystemsand
associatedelectronics.
WARNING:ConnectingBatteryStacksinseriescanleadtodangerouslyhighvoltages.
WhenconnectingS20‐0080Stacksinparallel,15Abranchfusesarerecommendedandshouldbe
placedasclosetotheBatteryStackpositive(recommended)ornegativeterminalaspossible.
3.3ElectricalSafety
AquionrecommendsfusingS20‐0080stringswitha1,000V,15Afuseatthepositive(+)leadof
eachstringofBatteryStacks(oroneachindividualBatteryStackiftheyareallconnectedin
parallel).
TheS20‐008Falreadycontainsanin‐linefuse,andadditionalfusingateachStackisnotnecessary.
Intheseriesconfiguration,theBatteryStacksshouldbegroundedbyusingatierod.
Thefollowingpartsandtoolsarerequired:
oRingTerminal(MorrisProducts11072)
oNut(McMaster93839A835)
o12AWGwire
ostandardwirecrimper
AttachtheringterminalstotheBatteryStacks,andthengroundtheBatteryStacks.
