3.1.2 CABINET LOCK OUT TAG OUT PROCEDURE
DANGER
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO SHUT DOWN THE WHOLE BATTERY BLOCK
UNDER THE SAME BCP TO PERFORM ANY MAINTAINANCE WORK INSTEAD
OF SHUTTING DOWN ONE OR SEVERAL CABINETS IN THE BLOCK. AS THERE
ARE CERTAIN PARTS OF THE CABINET STILL LIVE WITH FATAL VOLTAGE
PRESENTS EVEN THE DISCONNECTING SWITCH ON THE BATTERY
SWITCHGEAR IS OPEN.
DO NOT KEEP THE BATTERY BLOCK IN OPERATION WHILE SERVICING ONE
OF THE CABINETS IN THE BLOCK.
3.2 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

3.3 FIRST-AID MEASURES
As a consequence of the outer casing is damaged or otherwise compromised, internal
materials (electrolyte, etc.) within the battery cell exposed, the following actions should
be followed.
1. Inhalation: Immediately evacuate the contaminated area and seek medical
attention.
2. Eye contact: Immediately rinse eyes with water for 15 minutes and seek medical
attention.
3. Contact with skin: Wash the contacted area: thoroughly with soap and water
and seek medical attention.
4. Ingestion: Induce vomiting and seek medical attention.
5. Fire Extinguishing Instructions:
If a fire occurs during the charging of the batteries, isolate the charger from its
power supply by turning off the power switch at the Inverter/PCS or pushing the E-
stop button on the system enclosure.
Push the manual releasing button on the system enclosure if the automatic fire

19
suppression system is not activated by itself.
6. Effective ways to deal with Accidents:
a. On land: Place the damaged battery into a segregated place and call
the local fire department or service engineer.
b. In water: The battery is flooded wait until floodwaters subside and do not
approach near the battery. Do not use the flooded battery again and
contact a service engineer. If inevitably, someone has to go into the
flooded water, insulated full-length rubber boots and gloves are necessary.
3.4 HANDLING GUIDELINES
IMPORTANT
DO NOT EXPOSE BATTERY MODULES TO TEMPERATURES ABOVE 50℃. THE
OPTIMAL TEMPERATURE RANGE IS 23±5 °C. EXPOSURE TO AN
ENVIRONMENT BEYOND THIS RANGE CAN ACCELERATE BATTERY
CAPACITY DEGRADATION.
WARNING
BE AWARE OF THE HEAVYWEIGHT OF BATTERY MODULES AND THE RISK OF
A DROP.
THE BATTERY MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IF SUFFERED A DROP.
POTENTIAL INTERNAL DAMAGE MAY CAUSE AN SERIOUS FIRE INCIDENT
EVEN THERE IS NO SERIOUS VISUAL EXTERNAL DAMAGE ON THE BATTERY
MODULE.
Battery modules must be handled carefully and any exposure to shock or excessive
mechanical load could cause significant damage. In the event of a module being
dropped during handling, storage, or installation, the battery module shall be returned
to the SYL service center for inspection.
WARNING
DO NOT USE THE BATTERY MODULE IF ANY PART OF ITS HOUSING OR
CONNECTORS EXHIBITS PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
Do not place battery modules on flammable construction materials, in areas where
highly inflammable materials are stored, in potentially explosive environments, or high
humid environments.

20
Do not stack any objects on the battery module.
Any mishandling of the battery module including dropping, deforming, impacting,
cutting, or penetrating is likely to damage the unit and might cause a fire.
Always ensure the battery is maintained with its top surface facing upwards. Do not
place the module upside-down.
3.5 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Please be aware that a battery can pose a risk of electrical shock including a high short-
circuit current. Follow all safety precautions while operating the batteries. During the
installation or maintenance of the battery system, a worker shall wear proper PPE such as
eye protection, high visibility clothing, protective gloves, and protective footwear.
Insulation gloves with over 1500VDC ratings are needed when connecting the busbars
and jumpers between modules and racks.
EYE PROTECTION
HIGH VISIBILITY CLOTHING
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
PROTECTIVE FOOTWEAR
