Observe these instructions and keep them
located near the battery for future reference.
Work on the battery should be carried out by
qualified personnel only.
Do not smoke!
Do not use any naked flame or other sources
of ignition.
Risk of explosion and fire.
While working on batteries wear protective
eye-glasses and clothing.
Observe the accident prevention rules as well
as EN 50 272-2, VDE 0105 Part 1.
Any acid splashes on the skin or in the eyes
must be flushed with plenty of clean water
immediately. Then seek medical assistance.
Spillages on clothing should be rinsed out with
water.
Explosion and fire hazard. Avoid short circuits,
use insulated tools. Do not place tools or
other items on the battery. Do not wear any
metallic items such as watches, bracelets
etcetera.
Electrolyte is very corrosive. In normal
working conditions contact with the electrolyte
is impossible. If the battery container is
damaged, do not touch the exposed
electrolyte because it is corrosive.
Batteries are heavy. If involved in an accident,
they can become a projectile! Ensure
adequate and secure mounting and always
use suitable handling equipment for
transportation. Handle with care because
batteries are sensitive to mechanical shock.
Caution! Metal parts of the battery are always
alive; therefore do not place items or tools on
the battery.
Keep children away from batteries.
Non-compliance with operating instructions, repairs
made with other than original parts, or repairs made
without authorization (e.g. opening of valves) render
the guarantee void.
Disposal of batteries
Spent batteries are harmful to health and environment. Therefore batteries may not be mixed with
domestic or industrial waste but must be collected and recycled separately. Contact your supplier for
recollection and recycling of batteries or contact an authorized waste management company.

executed in accordance with the locally applicable
regulations.
Check the contents of the delivery. See section 6.1 on
page 13 for an overview of components that are
standard included with the delivery.
After unpacking, check each battery for mechanical
damage. Do not use the product if it is damaged. If in
doubt, contact your supplier.
Check the batteries for correct polarity:
Terminal colour
Indication on battery
Meaning
Red
+
Positive
Blue
–
Negative
Check each cell separately by measuring the open
circuit voltage. U ≥ 2.07V.
Control of insulation resistance: New batteries: > 1MΩ
Used batteries: > 100 Ω/Volt.
3.2 LOCATION TO INSTALL
3.2.1 General
Standards referring to installation, cabinets, equipment or
battery rooms are: EN 50091-1-2, IEC 896-2 (/3/) (draft
IEC 60896-21 (/4/)) and EN 50272-2 (/1/).
Obey the following stipulations when choosing a location
to install the batteries:
Keep batteries away from heat sources. Allowed
operating temperature: –20 to 45ºC / –4 to 113ºF.
Nominal operating temperature: 10 to 30ºC / 50 to
86ºF. Recommended at 20ºC / 68ºF. The battery life
is halved for every 10ºC of rise in temperature. Lower
temperatures will reduce the available capacity.
Battery installation should be made such that
temperature differences between individual units do
not exceed 3ºC / 5ºF.
Keep at least 1cm / 0.5 inch space between the
batteries. Mastervolt can supply dedicated cooling
plates for this purpose (Part No. 67909014).
All models of the MVSV range are suitable for both
horizontal and vertical mounting. All cells should be
mounted either vertically or horizontally.
Please note that models MVSV 2000 (67162000) and
MVSV 2500 (67202500) which were delivered before
January 1st 2006 are only allowed to be installed in
upright (vertical) position. See also chapter 2.2. If in
doubt, contact your supplier.
3.2.2 Ventilation
DO NOT install the batteries in airtight enclosures. Under
overcharging conditions, lead acid batteries can vent an
explosive mixture of hydrogen gas.
The ventilation of battery rooms and cabinets must be
carried out according to EN 50272-2. Under normal
conditions the minimum air flow rate for ventilation of a
battery location or compartment for Mastervolt MVSV gel
batteries shall be calculated by the following formula (up to
40° C operating temperature).
Q = 0.05 x n x Cnom x 10-3 [m3/h]
Where n = number of cells
Cnom = Nominal capacity (see Specifications)
With natural ventilation (air convection) the minimum inlet
and outlet area (A) is calculated as follows (Air convection
speed = 0.1 m/s):
A = 28 x Q [cm²]
Example:
Given: 24V battery bank consisting of 12 pieces Mastervolt
MVSV 800 gel batteries, Cnom = 998 Ah,
Calculation of fresh air necessary:
Q = 0.05 x n x Cnom x 10-3 [m3/h]
= 0.05 x 12 x 998 Ah x 10-3 [m3/h]
= 0.5988 [m3/h]
A = 28 x Q [cm²]
= 28 x 0.5988 [cm²]
= approx. 16.8 [cm²]
Potential sources of ignition must have a safety distance to
the pressure valves of the batteries as specified in EN
50272-2.
3.2.3 Use of battery racks
When batteries are installed horizontally, use of a battery
rack is obligatory. Obey the following recommendations:
Each cell should be supported separately by the rack
over its full length. Never stack a battery on another
battery.
Check that the battery racks are stable and horizontal.
For the shelf assemblies with 4 levels of 2 rows or 5
levels of 3 rows, the assembly should anchored to the
floor.
Precautions must be taken if batteries are being
installed in metallic cabinets or on racks. Keep an air
safety distance of at least 10mm / 0.5inch between
insulated cables and electrically conductive parts, or
use additional insulation.

MVSV 2V Gel Cells –User and Installation Manual

The use of metal clamps on the cells is not
recommended. A system made of insulating material
should be used.
Racks and cabinets shall have a distance of at least
100mm to the wall for a better placement of
connections and better access for cleaning.
3.3 CONNECTION
To avoid corrosion of the battery poles Mastervolt
recommends lubricating the inserts and connections
moderately using a small quantity of battery terminal
grease.
Use properly sized and reliable cables, cable lugs and
battery terminals. Tighten all connections firmly. The
following torque values apply for screw connectors:
M8 (20±1) Nm / 175±10 Inlbs.
Rubber covers shall be fitted to both ends of the
connector cables (pole covers) before installation.
Batteries in series or parallel must be of the same
brand, type, capacity and state of charge. Do not mix
old and new batteries.
If a battery temperature sensor is used, it should be
located on top or on one side of the cell which is located in
the centre of the battery bank.
Connect the battery with the correct polarity to the charger
(positive pole to positive terminal). Note that the position of
the battery poles may differ from previous installed
batteries! The charger may not be switched on during this
process and the load must not be connected. Connect the
minus cable last of all.
Check if all connections are firmly seated. Then switch on
charger and start charging following chapter 4.2.

4 OPERATION
4.1 DISCHARGE
Avoid deep discharges. Regular discharges beyond
60% of the nominal capacity are not recommended as
they might shorten the lifetime of the battery.
Recharge the battery immediately after a discharge.
Never discharge below the final discharge voltage.
The final discharge voltage is related to the discharge
current. See section 6.3.3 on page 15.
4.2 CHARGING

*max 5 hrs
Regularly, at least every month, fully charge the batteries.
4.3 ALTERNATING CURRENTS
When using old-style charging equipment or battery
chargers of inferior quality, alternating currents may flow
through the battery, superimposing onto the direct current
during charge operation. Alternating currents and the
reaction from the loads may lead to an additional
temperature increase of the battery, and strain the
electrodes with possible damages, which can shorten the
battery life. Such damages can be avoided by using
Mastervolt battery chargers.
When recharging up to 2.38V/cell under normal operation,
the actual value of the alternating current is occasionally
permitted to reach 10A (RMS)/100Ah nominal capacity. In
a fully charged state during float charge or standby parallel
operation the actual value of the alternating current must
not exceed 5A (RMS)/100Ah nominal capacity.
4.4 CHARGING CURRENTS
The charging current should range between 10A to 50A /
100Ah nominal capacity (guide values). When selecting a
battery charger keep in mind that the battery charger must
be capable of supplying both the current of the connected
load and the battery charging current.
Contact your Mastervolt representative for advice if the
charger current exceeds 50A/100Ah nominal capacity.
4.5 TEMPERATURE
The recommended operation temperature range for
Mastervolt MVSV batteries is 10°C to 30°C, best at 20°C
(50°F to 86°F, best at 68°F). Higher temperatures will
seriously reduce service life. lower temperatures reduce
the available capacity. The absolute maximum
temperature is 55°C (131°F) and should not exceed 45°C
(113°F) in service.
4.6 TEMPERATURE RELATED CHARGE
VOLTAGE
Temperature compensated charging is recommended
according to the table below:
Nominal voltage
Temperature compensation
2V (one cell)
–5mV/ºC
–2.8mV/ºF
12V (6 cells)
–30mV/ºC
–17 mV/ºF
24V (12 cells)
–60mV/ºC
–33 mV/ºF
48V (24 cells)
–120mV/ºC
–67 mV/ºF
Mastervolt battery chargers are standard provided with a
battery temperature sensor for automatic adjustment of the
charge voltage.
4.7 ELECTROLYTE
The electrolyte is diluted sulphuric acid and fixed in a gel.

5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND CONTROL
Keep the battery clean and dry to avoid leakage currents.
Plastic parts of the battery, especially the containers, must
be cleaned with pure water. Never use any additives,
acids and/or scourers.
Check batteries and connections on a regular base.
Defects such as loose or corroded connections must be
corrected immediately.
At least every 6 month measure and record:
Overall voltage the batteries
Voltages of several cells
Surface temperature of several cells
Battery-room temperature
If the cell voltages differs from the average float charge
voltage by more than +0.2V respectively -0.1V or if the
surface temperature difference between cells exceeds
5ºC, a Mastervolt service representative should be
contacted.
Check and record at least every year:
Voltage of each cell
Surface temperature of each cell
Battery-room temperature
Screw connections
Screw connections without locking devices have to be
checked for tightness
Battery installation and arrangement
Ventilation
5.2 TESTS
Tests have to be carried out according to IEC 60896-22,
DIN 43539 part 1. Special instructions like DIN VDE 0107
and DIN VDE 0108 have to be observed.
5.3 FAULTS
Call a Mastervolt service representative immediately if
faults in the battery or the battery charger are found.
Recorded data as described in chapter 5.1. must be made
available to the service representative. It is recommended
that a service contract is taken out with your agent.
5.4 STORAGE AND TAKING OUT OF
OPERATION
To store or decommission cells for a longer period of time
they should be fully charged and stored in a dry and cold
but frost-free room, away from direct sun light.
The rate of self-discharge is approximately 2% per month
@ 20ºC/68°F. Elevated environmental temperatures
increase the self-discharge rate of the batteries. Therefore
batteries need supplementary charge according to the
table below to keep its capacity.
Storage temperature
Maximum charging
interval
< 20ºC / < 68ºF
Every 24 months
20 to 30ºC / 68 to 86ºF
Every 12 months
30 to 40ºC / 86 to 104ºF
Every 6 months
40 to 50ºC / 104 to 122ºF
Every 3 months
5.5 TRANSPORT
The batteries must be transported in an upright position.
Never lift the batteries at the terminals. Use soft slings to
avoid damage. Do no stand below the batteries. Batteries
without any visible damage are not defined as dangerous
goods under the regulations for transport of dangerous
goods by road (ADR) or by railway (RID). They must be
protected against short circuits, slipping, upsetting or
damaging. Cells may be suitable stacked and secured on
pallets (ADR and RID, special provision 598). It is
prohibited to stack pallets.
No dangerous traces of acid shall be found on the
exteriors of the packing unit. Cells whose containers leak
or are damaged must be packed and transported as class
8 dangerous goods under UN no. 2794.
