1 Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions For safety reasons, installer and user are responsible for
familiarizing themselves with the contents of this document and all warnings
before installation and usage.
1.1 General Safety Precautions
●Please carefully read this manual before any work is carried out on the product,
and keep it located near the product for future reference.
●All installation and operation must comply with local electrical standards.
● Please ensured the electrical parameters of the product are compatible to
related equipment.
●Do not open or dismantle the battery module. Electrolyte is very corrosive. In
normal working conditions contact with the electrolyte is impossible. If the
battery casing is damaged, do not touch the exposed electrolyte or powder
because it is corrosive.
●The electronics inside the product are vulnerable to electrostatic discharge,
keep it away from that.
●Do not place items or tools on the product.
●Do not damage the product by dropping, deforming, impacting, cutting.
●Keep the product away from liquid. Do not touch the product if liquid spills on
it. There is a risk of electric shock.
●Do not expose the product to flammable or harsh chemicals or vapors.
● Do not paint any part of the product, include any internal or external
components.
●Do not change any part of the product, especially the battery and cell.
●Besides connection under this manual, any other foreign object is prohibited
to insert into any part of the product.
●The warranty claims are excluded for direct or indirect damage due to items
above.
●Batteries must not be mixed with domestic or industrial waste.

6
● Batteries marked with the recycling symbol must be processed via a
recognized recycling agency. By agreement, they may be returned to the
manufacturer.
1.2 Transportation and Storage Precautions
●The batteries must be transported according to UN3480, they must be packed
according to packaging requirements of Special Regulation 230 of IMDG CODE
(40-20 Edition) for maritime transport, and P965 IA for air transport (SOC less
than 30%). The original packaging complies with these instructions.
●If the product needs to be moved or repaired, the power must be cut off and
completely shut down.
● The product must be transported in its original or equivalent package; the
battery module must be placed at upright position.
●The modules are heavy. Ensure adequate and secure mounting and always use
suitable handling equipment for transportation.
●If the product is in its package, use soft slings to avoid damage.
●Do not stand below the product when it is hoisted.
● During transportation, severe impact, extrusion, direct sunlight, and rain
should be avoided.
●Store in a cool and dry place.
●Store the product in clean environment, free of dust, dirt and debris.
●Store the product out of reach of children and animals.
●Don't store the battery under 50% SOC for over one month, this may result in
permanent damage to the battery and violet the warranty.
● If the product is stored for long time, it is required to charge the battery
module every 3 months, and the SOC should be no less than 90%.
1.3 Installation Precautions
● Do not install the product in an airtight enclosure or in an area without

7
ventilation.
●Do not install the product in living area of dwelling units or in sleeping units
other than within utility closets and storage or utility spaces.
● If the Product is installed in a garage or carport, ensure there is adequate
clearance from vehicles.
●While working on the product wear protective eyeglasses and clothing.
●Handle the battery wearing insulated gloves.
●Use insulated tools. Do not wear any metallic items such as watches, bracelets,
etc.
●Please turn-off related circuit breakers before and during the installation to
avoid electric shock.
●Do not connect any AC conductors or photovoltaic conductors directly to the
battery pack. These are only to be connected to the inverter.
●Wiring must be correct, do not mistake the positive and negative cables, and
ensure no short circuit with the external device.
● Over-voltages or wrong wiring could damage the battery pack and cause
combustion which can be extremely dangerous.
●Make sure the product is well grounded, and comply with local specifications,
the recommended grounding resistance is less than 1Ω.
●Handle with care because Li-ion Battery is sensitive to mechanical shock.
1.4 Usage Precautions
●Before starting the system, the operator should strictly check the connection
terminals to ensure that the terminals are firmly connected.
● If there's a circuit breaker between battery and inverter, the breaker is
supposed to be on before power on the battery.
●Do not open the product, connect, or disconnect any wires when it's working
to avoid electric shock.
●Battery needs to be recharged within 12 hours after fully discharged.

8
●The default temperature range over which the battery can be discharged is -4
℉ (-20 ℃ ) to 122 ℉ (50 ℃ ). Frequently discharge the battery in high or low
temperature may deteriorate the performance and life of the battery pack.
●The default temperature range over which the battery can be charged is 32℉
(0℃) to 122℉ (50℃). Frequently charge the battery in high or low temperature
may deteriorate the performance and life of the battery pack.
●Do not charge or discharge a damaged battery.
●Please contact the supplier within 24 hours if there is something abnormal.
1.5 Response to Emergency Situations
●Damaged batteries are dangerous and must be handled with extreme care.
They are not suitable for use and may cause danger to persons or property. If
the battery pack appears to be damaged, place it in the original container and
return it to an authorized dealer.
● If the battery pack is wet or submerged in water, do not allow any person
access, and then contact authorized dealer for technical support.
● In case of fire, use the carbon dioxide, FM-200 or ABC dry powder fire
extinguisher; if possible, move the battery pack to a safe area before it catches
fire.
●If a user happens to be exposed to the internal materials of the battery cell due
to damage on the outer casing, the following actions are recommended.
● In case of inhalation: Leave the contaminated area immediately and seek
medical attention.
●In case of contact with eyes: Rinse eyes with running water for 15 minutes and
seek medical attention.
●In case of contact with skin: Wash the contacted area with soap thoroughly
and seek medical attention.
●In case of ingestion: Induce vomiting and seek medical attention.

The Xcellent series consists of a built-in BMS battery management system,
which can manage and monitor cells information including voltage, current and
temperature, and a DC-DC converter, used to limit the balance current between
different batteries when parallel use to expand capacity and power to meet the
requirements of longer power supporting duration and higher power
consumption.
The Xcellent series is good looking. It is suspended on the wall in daily usage.
User can check status of battery from the 7 inches screen on Xcellent.
