1.2 Correct use
The Mercedes-Benz Energy Storage Home is a compact
modular energy storage system. The product is designed
to optimize the self-consumption of energy and provide
an alternative source of power. It can be operated using
one of the inverters approved by Deutsche ACCUMOTIVE
GmbH&Co.KG.Uptofourenergystoragemodulescan
be connected in parallel to form a single unit. The largest
possible configuration comprises two such units connected
in parallel via an external distribution box. The system must
be installed in compliance with the specified ambient condi-
tions [1.3 Ambient conditions; S.4].
Use the product exclusively in accordance with the instruc-
tions given in this manual and the standards and guidelines
prevailing locally. Any use contrary to these provisions and
the stated operating limits is prohibited and will invalidate
the warranty.
Non-compliance with the operating instructions is not per-
mitted except with the separate, written approval of

DANGER
Fire hazard
Mechanical damage to the energy storage module may cause internal or external short circuits. These lead
to high compensating currents which may result in fire. In liquid or steam form the electrolyte used is highly
flammable.
•Neverforceopentheenergystoragemodule!
•Placethemoduleinalocationwhereitissafefromvandalism!
•Besuretoavoidmechanicaldamage!

•Intheeventofafireleavethedangerzoneimmediatelyandcallthefirebrigade!
DANGER
Arc flash hazard
If wires connected to the active system become detached, their high energy content means there is a high risk
of arc flash. Arc flash poses a threat to life and limb.
•Wiresmustbecorrectlyattached(maintenance-freeandstrain-relieved)!
•Wiresmayonlybeconnectedordisconnectedwiththepoweroff(beforestartinguporafterswitchingoff)!

DANGER
Electrolyte escape hazard
The electrolyte used, Selectilyte P-0063 (200 ml per cell), is harmful to health if it comes into contact with
skin, being capable of causing severe acid burns and serious eye damage. It can also cause allergic skin
reactions and cancer. It is toxic to the environment, particularly water organisms, and has long-term harmful
effects.
•Contactwithescapedelectrolytemustbeavoidedatallcosts!
•Leavethedangerzoneimmediately!
•Preventtheelectrolyteescapingintotheenvironment!
•Neverforceopentheenergystoragemodule!

CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge hazard
As a rule, electrostatic discharges do not cause harmful current surges. However, they may startle you,
leading to the risk of an accident or damage to electronic equipment.
•BeforetouchingtheMercedes-BenzEnergyStorageHomeduringassemblyormaintenancework,either
earth all tools or wear ESD-appropriate protective equipment (gloves as a minimum)!
