1.4 Response to Emergency Situations
While the ESP-5K HL Residential and Commercial ESS is equipped with multiple safety features to
prevent hazards caused by failures, it is important to note that EndurEnergy cannot guarantee
absolute safety in uncertain situations.
1.4.1 Leaking Batteries
In the event of electrolyte leakage from the battery pack, it is crucial to avoid contact with the
leaking liquid or gas. Electrolyte is corrosive and can cause skin irritation and chemical burns. If
you are exposed to the leaked substance, please follow these actions:
•Inhalation:
oEvacuate the contaminated area immediately.
oSeek medical attention without delay.
•Eye contact:
oRinse your eyes with flowing water for at least 15 minutes.
oSeek medical attention promptly.
•Skin contact:
oWash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
oSeek medical attention as soon as possible.
•Ingestion:
oIf the electrolyte is ingested, promptly induce vomiting.
oSeek immediate medical attention.
The previous instructions are provided to address potential risks associated with electrolyte
leakage. It is important to prioritize your safety and seek professional medical assistance without
delay in case of exposure to the leaked substance.
1.4.2 Fire
In the event of a fire, it is important to have an ABC or carbon dioxide extinguisher readily available.
Do not use water to extinguish the fire.
WARNING
The battery pack may catch fire when heated above 150°
If a fire breaks out where the battery is installed, please follow these actions:
•Prioritize extinguishing the fire before the battery catches fire if it is safe to do so. Use
appropriate fire extinguishing methods and equipment according to the type of fire (e.g., ABC
or carbon dioxide extinguisher). Ensure your safety and consider seeking professional
assistance if necessary.
•If the battery has already caught fire or if it is not safe to attempt extinguishing the fire,
prioritize the immediate evacuation of all individuals from the area. Follow established
emergency evacuation procedures and ensure everyone moves to a safe location. Contact
the appropriate emergency services to report the fire.
Note: The above actions are intended to address fire situations where the battery is involved.Always
prioritize personal safety and adhere to established emergency procedures.
WARNING
If the battery catches fire, it will produce poisonous gases. Do not approach.
1.4.3 Wet battery

4Installation Prerequisites
4.1 Installation Process
The battery should be installed according to the following flowchart. The detailed
installation process is described in Section Battery Installation.
4.2 Installation Location
Ensure that the installation location meets the following conditions:
⚫The building is designed to withstand earthquakes as per the building code (when
applicable).
⚫It is far away from the sea to avoid saltwater and humidity.
⚫The floor is flat and level.
⚫There are no flammable or explosive materials nearby.
⚫The optimal ambient temperature is between 15°C and 30°C.
⚫The temperature and humidity remain at a constant level.
⚫There is minimal dust and dirt in the area.
⚫There are no corrosive gases present, including ammonia and acid vapor.
⚫The battery and racks are rated IP20, indicating that they are suitable for indoor
use, if required to be placed outside it will require an enclosure or cabinet.
If the ambient temperature is outside the operating range, the battery will protect itself by
shutting down. The optimal operating temperature for the batteryis 15°C to 30°C. Frequent
exposure to severe operating conditions would negatively affect the performance and
lifespan of the battery.
4.3 Tools
To install the battery pack, the following tools are required:
Flat-head &
Phillips
Screwdriver
Torque wrench
Cable crimper
Wire clamp
Voltmeter
Measuring tape
Drill
Bubble Level
To ensure the safety of the operator and installer, please select and use suitable tools
and measuring instruments that are certified for precision and accuracy.
4.4 Personal protective equipment (PPE)
When handling the battery, the following safety gear should be worn. Installers must
comply with the relevant requirements of UL1973, IEC 62040, and IEC 62619, or
applicable domestic legislation and other relevant international standards.
Insulated gloves
Safety goggles
Dielectric Safety shoes
4.5 Storage
If the battery is not going to be installed immediately and needs to be stored for a long
period, please choose an appropriate location for storage. Follow these instructions for
storage:
⚫Do not stack more than four battery boxes.
⚫The recommended storage temperature for the battery is in the range of -20°C to 30°C.
⚫Avoid exposing the battery to water.
⚫If the battery needs to be stored for over 3 months, it will discharge at a minimum rate
and the capacity may degrade depending on the storage time.
⚫If the battery is stored for over 6 months, it is recommended to connect the battery
with the inverter and commission the system.
⚫The battery boxes should be stored upright as shown in the following figure and should
not be stacked upside down.
5Battery Installation
5.1 Package Items
You will receive one packing carton containing the batteries. The items included are
summarized as follows:
1 x ESP-5K HL
1 x User Manual
1 x Warranty Letter
1 x Communication Cable
1 x Power Cables
1 x Grounding Wire
Note: Product accessories are customized according to customer needs. This list
represents only the standard accessories. Endur does not provide cables for all situations,
for special projects ask sales team.
5.2 Before Installation
There are a few things to check before installing the battery to ensure that it is free of
defects.
Check the battery voltage using the following instructions:
⚫Press and hold the panel button for 4 seconds and release it when two indicators
turn on.
⚫Measure the voltage at the terminal interface using a voltmeter. If the voltage is
lower than 48V, do not use the battery and contact customer service.
⚫Turn off the battery after checking voltage.
5.3 Battery Mounting
TheESP-5K-HLis designed as a rack mount type battery, this adds flexibility on installation
and modularity for different configurations. We offer different rack and enclosure solutions
for our batteries, see instructions below.
5.3.1 Rack Mounting (R6 / R12)
1. Place the Rack in the location desired (refer to the details about the installation
location described in Chapter 4.2).The enclosure should be moved close to its
installation location inside its shipping container before it is unpacked. The
enclosure must be installed in a structurally sound area with a level floor that is
able to bear the weight of the rack + the intended number of batteries to be installed
inside.
CAUTION
2. Adjust leveler feet (if included), lower each leveler unit it reaches the floor, make
sure each leveler contacts the floor solidly. After lowering each leveler, use the
carpenter's level / bubble level to confirm thatthe rack is level. Adjust levelers as
needed to get level.
3. In order to secure the rack to the building structure for stability, attach the provided
brackets to the wall or to the floor (depending on the rack model) using adequate
screws. Verify foundation for seismic installations.
4. Slide in each battery into the horizontal brackets of the rack, each battery must be
spaced out vertically 1/3 U (0.583” / 14.82 mm) to ensure heating dissipation. Use
M6 screws to secure the batteries in place to cage nuts, max torque of 8.7 lb*ft. If
Rack does not have cage nuts, use the appropriate screws to fix into the predrilled
holes.
