3.1 General information
The eBick ULTRA 175 is an energy storage system using Li-ion
LFP cells. Under normal conditions there is always a voltage at
the terminals of both power connectors (top and bottom).
The whole system contains a high energy capacity. To minimize
the risk of electric shock, short-circuit, explosion and/or re,
follow the relevant procedures and local guidelines, as well as
the instructions that are included with the system.
Only qualied personnel should perform the installation, in ac-
cordance with the applicable regulations. Systems with visible
electrical connections have to be isolated from public access.
For safety purposes, cover all direct connections and terminals.
Carefully read, understand and apply all requirements present-
ed in this section.
3.2 Safety Instructions– Potential hazards
• The area around the eBick ULTRA shall be kept clear and
free of combustible materials, gasoline and/or other amma-
ble fumes, vapours and liquids.
• The area dened by safety margins for the necessary supply
and venting of air shall be respected.
• In the event of an emergency, the eBick ULTRA 175 has
electrical safety cut-off elements (fuses and MOSFETs).
It is advisable to install an element that protects
against over-current and possible short-circuiting dur-
ing the final installation. It is also advisable that the
cut-off element can be manually operated if necessary.
Remember, that because this deals with batteries, the internal
DC bus will always be live.
• Do not use the module if any of its parts have been im-
mersed in water. A water damaged cell is potentially dan-
gerous. Any attempts to use the system could cause a re or
an explosion. In such cases, contact CEGASA ENERGY to
have the battery pack inspected.
• The following instructions shall always be followed:
• Any air inlet or outlet within the room shall be kept
clear and free of obstacles.
• The floor shall be capable of bearing the weight of
the system.
• There shall be no obvious signs of wear on any eBick
ULTRA element.
• As this is a battery, under normal conditions there will
always be a voltage on the +/- terminals.
3.3 Electrical safety
• Never remove safety guards or devices that protect against
live parts.
• Do not reach inside the modules, nor touch any internal com-
ponent.
• Do not use or handle any eBick ULTRA 175 component when
accidentally wet, or with wet hands or feet.
• In the event of a failure or incident, as a rst step cut off the
current. To rescue a person being electrocuted, do not touch
them but immediately cut the current.
DANGER!
Do not expose to temperatures above 65ºC. The equipment will not be operational beyond
these temperatures, however, even with non-operational equipment exposing the cells to high
temperatures may cause fire and/or explosion.
DANGER!
Do not immerse the battery in water or any other liquid.
DANGER!
Never drop or knock the modules.
DANGER!
If chargers/converters are used, use only those authorised by CEGASA. Misuse of the battery
module during charging or discharging may cause the equipment to age prematurely leading
to fire and/or explosion.
DANGER!
In the event of an emergency, read the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for the cells before
proceeding.
