3.6. Peripheral equipment
3.6.1. Obligatory
In order for the Li-ion battery to be used safely, an external disconnect device must be
installed. This should either be a relay or latching relay (bistable) controlled by the battery’s
BMS or a relay or latching relay controlled by a remote switch (CAN controlled). If an
external disconnect device is not installed the warranty of the Li-ion battery will be void. It
will lead to serious damage to the Li-ion battery and can lead to high risks for safety and
environment.

4. Installation
4.1. General information
!
Warning! Never install or use a damaged Li-ion battery.
!
Caution! Do not reverse connect the Li-ion battery (polarity).
When connecting several batteries in series or parallel, always use batteries of the same
brand, type, age, capacity and state of charge.
4.2. Unpacking
Check the Li-ion battery for damage after unpacking. If the Li-ion battery is damaged, contact
your reseller or Super B. Do not install or use the Li-ion battery if it is damaged!
4.3. Preparing the battery for use
!
Caution! Do not operate the Li-ion battery beyond published maximum specications.
!
Caution! Charging at deep discharge conditions can lead to venting, excessive heat or
thermal runaway of the cells.
!
Caution! This Li-ion battery stores fault conditions internally, like excessive charge current or
deep discharge situations. Super B uses this information in the warranty process.
!
Warning! Do not overcharge the Li-ion battery.
4.3.1. Placement of the battery
Before it is used, the Li-ion battery must be positioned in such a way that it will not move
around in its compartment during use. The Li-on battery may be placed on its side, but not
upside down. If necessary, the Li-ion battery may be xed in place by means of Super B
mounting brackets. The brackets can be screwed in place by means of bolts or screws (see
gure 3).

14
Figure 3. Installing the Li-ion battery using the Super B mounting brackets
4.3.2. Placement and removal of a fuse
Before the Li-ion battery can be used, the internal fuse needs to be installed. The 32V/500A
fuse is supplied with the Li-ion battery.
Use the following steps to (re)place the fuse in the Li-ion battery (see gure 4):
1. Disconnect the negative wire from the - pole of the Li-ion battery (see paragraph 4.5. for the details).
2. Disconnect the positive wire from the + pole of the Li-ion battery.
3. Unscrew the fuse cover using the TORX key.
4. Unscrew the fuse contacts using a 13mm wrench.
!
Warning! Short circuit danger! Avoid making a short circuit with the wrench
5. Place the (new) fuse between the contacts, place washers and spring washers and tighten the fuse
contact points to 13Nm.
6. Fasten the fuse cover.
7. Proceed to paragraph 4.5 to read the instructions on installing the Li-ion battery in an electrical circuit.

15
Be in charge. Super B.
13 Nm
Figure 4. Install a fuse
4.4. Connection wires
Use appropriate wire for the connection wires to prevent overheating and unnecessary
losses. Use appropriate fuses matching the wires and load. Super B suggests to use a
95mm2 connection wires. Connection wires with smaller diameters can cause overheating or
unnecessary losses.
4.5. Installing the mandatory external disconnect device
!
Warning! Always connect the relay between the + or - terminal of the battery and the load.
!
Warning! Never use the Li-ion battery without a properly installed external disconnect device (relay
or bistable relay).
Protecting the Li-ion battery is possible by one of the following ways:
1. Connect a bistable relay to the Li-ion battery’s Con1 output.
2. Connect a normal relay to the Li-ion battery’s Con2 (I/O connection 7) output.
3. By using the SB BIB (Battery Interface Box).
4. By using the SB BCI-C1 (Battery Communication Interface) and a normal relay.
4.5.1. Connecting a bistable relay to the Li-ion battery
1. When using a bistable relay connect it to Con1 output as displayed in gure 5.
The Con1 output controls both the ON coil and the OFF coil of the bistable relay. The output of
Con1 can be found in table 8.
