voltmeter to ensure that there is no voltage before touching.
Danger!
•Lethal voltages are present inside the product!
•Note and observe the warnings on the product.
•Respect all safety precautions listed in this manual and other pertinent document.
•Respect the protection requirements and precautions of the lithium battery
Danger!
When the power supply is disconnected, there may still be electricity in the battery. Wait for 10
minutes and ensure that the device has no voltage before performing any operation.
Warning!
•All hoisting, transportation, installation, wiring, operation, and maintenance must be carried
out complying with the relevant codes and regulations of the country where the project is
located.

1.3 Battery Safety
It is very important to read the owner's manual carefully before installing or using the battery.
Follow any instructions or warnings in this document, otherwise it may result in electric shock,
serious injury, or death, or may damage the battery and render it inoperable.
After the battery is fully discharged, it needs to be charged within 48 hours. The battery is not
charged as required, resulting in loss of battery capacity or irreversible damage. If the battery is
stored for a long time, it is required to be charged every six months, and the SOC should not be
less than 50%.
•Do not use cleaning solvents to clean batteries. Do not expose the battery to flammable or
irritating chemicals or vapors.
•Do not connect the battery directly to the photovoltaic solar power wire.
•Do not paint any part of the battery, including any internal or external components.
•Please do not use batteries provided by the company with other batteries, including but not
limited to batteries of other brands or batteries with different rated capacities.
•Do not insert any foreign matter into any part of the battery.
•Handle or handle with care to avoid battery damage, drop, or leakage.
•Do not store batteries with inflammable and explosive materials. This may cause product
damage or property loss.
Maintain the battery according to this manual. Deye ESS is not responsible for insurance and
claims if maintenance is not performed in accordance with this manual.
1.4 Hoisting and Transportation
Follow the procedure of work of heights when walking on the top of the container.
1.5 Installation and Wiring
In the whole process of mechanical installation, the relevant standards and requirements of the
project location must be strictly observed.
Please refer to the wiring method recommended by Deye ESS.
1.6 Operation and Maintenance
Personal protective equipment must be equipped when maintaining and maintaining the BESS.
Maintenance personnel must wear protective equipment such as goggles, helmets, insulating

8
shoes, and gloves.
Users are not allowed to perform battery maintenance without guidance. Warning Except the
maintenance operations described in this manual, do not perform other maintenance operations
to avoid electric shock. If necessary, please contact Deye ESS Customer Service center for
maintenance.
