Heater Operation
The PROTRXion batteries have an optional heater for each module for using during cold weather operation. The heater
power will be drawn from charger during charge mode and from the cells during discharge mode. Always connect the
charger to make sure the batteries can support operation of the battery heaters and recharge the batteries as needed.
For Charging: If the ambient temperature reaches below 5°C (41°F), the battery heater will activate to support charge
mode until the battery pack temperature reaches above 15°C (59°F).
For Discharging: If the ambient temperature reaches below -10°C (14°F), the battery heater will activate to support
discharge mode until the battery pack temperature reaches above -5°C (23°F).
The battery heaters will not operate when ambient temperature is below -22°F (-30°C).
Selecting a Battery Charger
Many types of existing lead acid chargers are compatible with our PROTRXion batteries. These can safely charge
between -20°C to 45°C (-4°F to 113°F). However, at temperatures below 0°C (32°F) the charge current must be reduced
until the temperature is >0ºC (32ºF).
Charger Voltage: The charger maximum voltage output should match the maximum charge voltage of the battery system
and should not exceed constant voltage of 28VDC.
Charger Current: The recommend charge current is 0.5C rate. The PROTRXion modules may be charged at higher C
rates however this may impact the battery cycle life.
When choosing an intelligent charger, please discuss with Inventus Technical Support on suitable off-the-shelf charger
solutions.
Maintenance, Storage, and Disposal
Maintenance Charging
The PROTRXion can be stored in an environment with temperatures between -20°C and +45°C and between 5% and 95%
relative humidity, non-condensing. For long storage periods at 25°C, charge the battery every two years. For temperatures
above 45°C, charge the battery annually.
Battery Case Visual Inspection
Please perform regular visual inspections of the battery case. If the battery case is found to have dents, discoloration, or
appears to be damaged in any way, DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY. Please contact Inventus Power for assistance
with evaluating the product for continued usability.
Voltage Checking
The voltage of the battery can be monitored during normal operation or as part of standard tests performed periodically to
assess the health of the battery. If you find the battery voltage under 16V at room temperature, the battery has been over-
discharged or is self-discharging due to some defect/parasitic load. Discontinue use until the fault can be corrected and
the battery can be recharged.

Transporting Lithium-ion Batteries
This section discusses the regulations governing the transportation of lithium-ion cells and batteries both within the United
States and internationally. You should read and understand all relevant regulations discussed in this section before
shipping Inventus Power PROTRXion™ batteries.
Lithium batteries are classified as Class 9 when transporting by air or ground. When shipping by air, all lithium batteries
are required to have a 30% state of charge or less. Lithium batteries with capacity greater than 300 Wh and exceed 30kg
(66lbs), are considered Class 9 when shipping by ground. For more information on shipping Lithium Batteries, please see
your freight carrier’s requirements.
NOTE: The regulations discussed in this manual apply to lithium-ion cells and batteries. Once the Inventus Power
PROTRXion battery is integrated into a host system, the host may be subject to additional transportation regulations that
require additional certification testing. Since Inventus Power cannot anticipate every possible configuration and application,
you must verify that your system integrated with our PROTRXion battery system is compliant with all local ordinances and
regulations.
Transporting Batteries for Installation
• Place the battery terminal protective caps on the battery terminals prior to removing the battery from its current
location, to prevent accidental shorts or arcing from occurring if a terminal touches a metal object.
• Battery handle must be in the close position prior to assembly.
• Avoid heavy vibration during transportation.
• Avoid throwing, dropping, rolling and excessive stacking during loading and transportation.
• Make sure that all cables and external connectors are disconnected and properly removed from the battery
prior to transporting it.
• Do not hang or hook battery handle with sharp device or at one corner only.

PROTRXion™ Series Battery User Guide
17
Transporting Battery to a Different Location
If the battery needs to be shipped to a different location or sent back to Inventus Power for any reason:
1. Disconnect all cables, both power and communications from the batteries. (reference section
“Disconnecting the Battery” for proper disconnection procedure)
2. Place the protective caps on the battery terminals prior to removing the battery from its current location, to
prevent accidental shorts or arcing from occurring if a terminal touches a metal object.
3. All large Lithium Ion batteries are considered “Dangerous Goods” by the US Department of Transportation, and
as a result, transporting them by common carrier (whether by ground or by air) requires compliance with UN
DOT regulations UN3480, Class 9 - “Dangerous Goods”.
4. Pack the batteries in “Dangerous Goods” certified boxes and packaging materials as specified by the
Department of Transportation (DOT). The packaging must protect the contents from reasonable handling
damage and prevent short circuits from taking place. Ideally, one would use the original box if it’s still in
good condition.
5. The package should be prepared for shipment and shipping documents should be signed by an individual
who is certified to handle and prepare the paperwork and products that have been designated as
“Dangerous Goods” for shipment.
IMPORTANT: Each PROTRXion battery is shipped in a specially designed box to provide
maximum protection for the contents. We strongly recommend that you save this box and use
it whenever you need to transport or ship the battery. Please follow all local laws/regulations
regarding the shipment of Lithium-Ion batteries.
Following UN and DOT Regulations
Failure to comply with UN and DOT regulations while transporting Class 9 Hazardous Materials (Dangerous Goods) may
result in substantial civil and criminal penalties.
