1.2 Safety Precaution for Battery Pack
1.2.1 General Safety Precautions
Overvoltage or wrong wiring can damage the battery pack and cause deflagration, which can be
extremely dangerous.
All types of breakdown of the battery may lead to a leakage of electrolyte or flammable gas.
Battery pack is not user serviceable. High voltage is present in the device.
Read the label with Warning Symbols and Precautions, which is on the right side of the battery
pack.
Do not connect any AC conductors or PV conductors which should be only connected to the
inverter directly to the battery pack.
Do not charge or discharge the damaged battery.
Do not damage the battery pack in such ways as dropping, deforming, impacting, cutting or
penetrating with a sharp object. It may cause a leakage of electrolyte or fire.
Do not expose battery to open flame.
1.2.2 Response to Emergency Situations
The battery pack consists of multiple batteries to form a high-voltage system, if it fails, there is a
high-voltage risk. Chelion company cannot guarantee the absolute safety of the battery pack, so you
need to pay attention to the following matters:
1. If a user happens to be exposed to internal materials of the battery cell due to damage on
the outer casing, the following actions are recommended.
Inhalation: Leave the contaminated area immediately and seek medical attention.
Eye contact: Rinse eyes with running water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
Contact with skin: Wash the contacted area with soap thoroughly and seek medical attention.
