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.

3 Transport and storage
3.1 Transportation
1 Preventive Measures
Failure to ship and store products in accordance with the requirements of this manual may void
the warranty.
2 Mode of Transportation
It can be transported by cars, trains and ships.
3.2 Transportation Requirement
The following conditions should be met for the transportation of BESS:
Ensure that the door is locked.
Select appropriate crane or lifting tool according to the site conditions. The lifting tool used
shall have a sufficient load bearing capacity, boom length and radius of rotation.
Additional traction may be required if ESS needs to be transported on slopes.
Remove all obstacles that exist or may exist on the way, such as tree branches, cables, etc.
The BESS should be transported and moved under good weather conditions.
Be sure to set up warning signs or warning area to prevent non-staff from entering the lifting
area to avoid accidents.
When transporting by road, it is important to use ropes to secure the top ring of the
equipment to the transport vehicle to avoid excessive tilt during transportation.
The battery products should be transported after packaging and during the transportation
process, severe vibration, impact, or extrusion should be prevented to prevent sun and rain. It
can be transported using vehicles such as cars, trains, and ships.
Always check all applicable local, national, and international regulations before transporting a
Lithium Iron Phosphate battery.
Transporting an end-of-life, damaged, or recalled battery may, in certain cases, be specially
limited or prohibited.
The transport of the Li-Ion battery falls under hazard class UN3480, class 9. For transport over
water, air and land, the battery falls within packaging group PI965 Section I.
Use Class 9 Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods and UN Identification labels for transportation of
lithium-ion batteries which are assigned Class 9. Refer to relevant transportation documents.

Class 9 Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods and UN Identification Label
3.3 Storage requirement
•During the rainy season to prevent possible condensation or its bottom being soaked by rain.
•BESS should be stored on higher ground. Raise container bases based on site conditions. The
specific height should be reasonably determined according to the geological and
meteorological conditions of the site.
•Stored on dry, flat, stable ground with sufficient carrying capacity and without any vegetation
cover.
•The ground must be flat and dry. Before storage, ensure that BESS’s door is locked.
•Storage ambient temperature:-30℃~60℃, recommended storage temperature:-30℃~25℃.
Notice! : To ensure battery life, keep the storage temperature of the battery module
between 0 ° C and 35 ° C
•Storage If the battery energy storage system is not used for a long time, please refer to the
following table to save power. After charging is complete, turn off all switches of the battery
energy storage system to ensure the lowest power consumption of the system.
•The relative humidity should be between 0 and 95% without condensation.
•The inlet and outlet of BESS should be effectively protected to prevent rain, sand and dust
from penetrating into. Check equipment regularly for damage.
