1. Receiving the battery
1.1 In-Transit Damage or Short Shipments
Upon receipt of a shipment, check that the items delivered are undamaged and
match the carrier’s Bill of Lading. Report any damage or shortages to the carrier.
EnerSys®is not responsible for shipment damage or shortages that the receiver
does not report to the carrier.
1.2 Shipment Damage or Shortages
Open the shipping containers and check the contents for damage and against the
packing slip. mmediately inform EnerSys of any damaged or missing items.
EnerSys is not responsible for damaged or missing items after a shipment has been
in storage.
2. Storage
2.1 Storage Conditions and Time
f a battery cannot be immediately installed it should be stored in a clean, cool, dry
area.
During storage, the battery’s state of charge is reduced due to self-discharge.
High temperature increases the rate of self-discharge and reduces the storage life.
The chart below shows the relationship between Open-Circuit Voltage (OCV) and
storage time at various temperatures. While the batteries are in storage, OCV should
be measured according to the OCV audit intervals.
Do not store below -40ºF (-40ºC).
*Storage values indicated are based on constant temperatures.
**Recommended OCV audit interval.
The PowerSafe SBS modules are made up of six cells and must be given a
freshening charge when bloc voltages approach the equivalent of 2.10 volts per cell
or when the maximum storage time is reached, whichever occurs first.
2.2 Freshening Charge
Charge the module or string of modules at a constant voltage equivalent to 2.27Vpc
with current limited to 10A per 100Ah nominal capacity for a period of at least 24
hours, but with a maximum of 48 hours. Use temperature compensation as indicated
in Section 5. Start monitoring the charging current 21 hours after initiating the
freshening charge. The charge is complete when the current stabilizes. Do not install
in an air tight enclosure.
Completing a freshening charge according to the instruction will reset the storage
OCV audit interval and suggested maximum storage time. f voltage drops below
2.10V contact EnerSys for instruction.

When working on batteries wear safety glasses with side
shields, rubber gloves and protective clothing. All metallic
personal objects, such as rings, watches, bracelets, etc,
should be removed before starting work on the battery!
Only use insulated tools!
n case of SKI CO TACT with electrolyte, IMMEDIATELY
1. REMOVE contaminated CLOTHI G
2. FLUSH the area THOROUGHLY with WATER
3. Get MEDICAL ATTE TIO
Electrolyte is corrosive.
Do not allow flames, embers or sparks near the battery
due to the risk of explosion or fire!
WAR I G!
PowerSafe®SBS batteries are supplied in a charged state and are capable
of extremely high short circuit currents. Take care to avoid
short-circuiting terminals of opposite polarity.
Read these instructions immediately upon receipt. PowerSafe®SBS batteries
are safe when operated and handled properly. t is vitally important that you
observe the precautions recommended in this instruction sheet.
YOU SHOULD BE TRAI ED N HANDL NG, NSTALL NG, OPERAT NG
AND MA NTA N NG BATTER ES BEFORE YOU WORK ON A Y BATTERY
SYSTEM.
Spent batteries with this symbol are reusable products and
have to be put into a recycling system. Used batteries must
be disposed of as special waste in accordance with all
standards.
The nstruction Sheet must be strictly observed. Non-compliance with the
nstruction Sheet, use of non OEM spares or use of additives to the
electrolyte or unauthorized tampering will void the warranty.
Warning: batteries remain live even though they are
disconnected. No rings or metal bracelets should be worn
during the assembly of the battery. Do not place electrically
conductive objects such as tools etc. on top of the battery!
Warning: cells are heavy, use proper lifting technique.
Batteries can generate gases which, when released, can
explode, causing blindness and other serious personal injury.
n case of electrolyte CO TACT WITH CLOTHI G OR
MATERIAL, IMMEDIATELY
1. REMOVE CO TAMI ATED CLOTHI G
2. Apply large amounts of water to affected area.
3. Wash clothing as soon as possible.
n case of EYE CO TACT with electrolyte, IMMEDIATELY
1. FLUSH THOROUGHLY for at least 15 minutes with large
amounts of WATER.
2. Get MEDICAL ATTE TIO .

3. Ventilation
The battery compartment/room must have adequate ventilation to limit hydrogen
accumulation to a maximum of 1% by volume. The following shows Hydrogen Evolution.
n evolution:
Note: Values double for every 18 º F (10 º C) above 77 º F (25 º C) and half for every
18 º F (10 º C) below 77 º F (25 º C).
Contact EnerSys®for product not listed.
4. Installation
nstall the batteries in accordance with instructions below:
1. Refer to layout drawing at the end of this nstruction Sheet.
2. Position batteries into the location required by the application. Do not handle the batteries
by terminals as this can damage terminal seals.
3. Ensure the battery terminals, interconnect straps and cable lugs are clean and free of
electrolyte corrosion. f the environment is corrosive, a light coating of NO-OX can be
applied to the battery terminals prior to installing the connectors on to the terminals.
nstall connectors to battery terminals with the specified torque.
4. Recheck the torque on the installed connectors to ensure secure connections.
5. Operation
Constant voltage chargers are recommended. The acceptable float voltage range is
2.27-2.29Vpc at 68 º F (20 º C) and 2.25-2.27Vpc at 77 º F (25 º C).
The minimum charging voltage, at any temperature, is 2.21Vpc.
The recommended float voltage temperature compensation is:
Do not over-discharge the battery. The float voltage must be applied to the battery as soon
as possible, and not later than seven days after any discharge. f it is not, contact EnerSys
for more information.
Do not discharge the battery beyond the voltage cut-off limit for the given discharge rates:
1.80Vpc @ 10 hr rate
1.75Vpc @ 8 hr rate
1.75Vpc @ 5 hr rate
1.70Vpc @ 3 hr rate
1.60Vpc @ 1 hr rate
1.60Vpc @ 15 min rate
Discharging to voltages below these values can result in irrecoverable capacity loss and
premature end of life. The float voltage must be applied to the battery as soon as possible,
and no later than seven days after any discharge. f it is not, contact EnerSys®for more
information.
6. Maintenance
n practice the user usually specifies the maintenance schedule based on site criticality,
location and manpower.
The following is a suggested maintenance schedule.
Every Six Months (Record All Readings)
Measure the battery string voltage, temperature, float current, inter-module resistances and
internal ohmic values. f necessary, adjust the float voltage to the correct value. Measure
individual module voltages.
The individual module voltages must be within ± 0.30V of the nominal float voltage. nspect
for contamination by dust and loose or corroded connections. Corrosion can be caused by
environmental factors and/or battery electrolyte. Batteries and interconnect straps with
electrolyte corrosion should be replaced. Corrosion due to electrolyte typically originates at
the base of the battery terminal with a wet appearance and propagates outward while
being localized to the terminal(s). Light corrosion that is dry in appearance and relatively
uniform across all connections may be environmental corrosion. Batteries with light
environmental corrosion do not need to be replaced if connection surfaces were protected
from corrosion with NO-OX. f environmental corrosion is suspected, clean with a water
dampened clean cloth and cover metal conductors with NO-OX. Do not use solvents or
scouring powders to clean the modules.
7. Disposal
PowerSafe®SBS batteries are recyclable. Scrap batteries must be packaged and
transported in accordance with prevailing transportation rules and regulations.
Scrap batteries must be disposed of in compliance with local and national laws by a
licensed or certified lead acid battery recycler.
