2. Safety Precautions
Reminding
1. It is important and necessary to read the user manual carefully (in the accessories)
before installing or using battery. Failure to do so or to follow any of the instructions
or warnings in this document can result in electrical shock, serious injury, or death,
or can damage battery, potentially rendering it inoperable.
2. If the battery is stored for long time, it is required to charge them every six months,
and the SOC should be no less than 90%.
3. Battery needs to be recharged within 12 hours, after fully discharged
4. Do not install the product in outdoor environment, or an environment out of the oper-
ation temperature or humidity range listed in manual.
5. Do not expose cable outside
6. Do not connect power terminal reversely.
7. All the battery terminals must be disconnected for maintenance
8. Please contact the supplier within 24 hours if there is something abnormal.
9. Do not use cleaning solvents to clean battery.
10. Do not expose battery to ammable or harsh chemicals or vapors.
11. Do not paint any part of battery, include any internal or external components.
12. Do not connect battery with PV solar wiring directly.
13. The warranty claims are excluded for direct or indirect damage due to items above.
14. Any foreign object is prohibited to insert into any part of battery.
