Security signs attached by:
• 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 50272-2/IEC 62485-2,
EN 50110-1.
• Any acid splashes on the skin or in the eyes must be flushed with plenty of
clean water immediately. Then seek for medical assistance.
• Spillages on clothing should be rinsed out with water!
• Warning: Risk of fire, explosion or burns. Do not disassemble, heat above 60 °C,
or incinerate. Avoid short circuits.
• Avoid electrostatic charges and discharges/sparks!
• Electrolyte is very corrosive. In normal working conditions the contact with the
electolyte is impossible. If the cell/block container is damaged do not touch
the exposed electrolyte because it is corrosive.
• Blocks/cells are very heavy! Make sure they are installed securely! Only use suitable
means of transport!
• Block/cell containers are sensitive to mechanical damage.
• Handle with care!
• Do not lift or pull up blocks/cells on the poles.
• 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, installations or repairs made with other than original
accessories and spare parts or with accessories and spare parts not recommended by the battery
manufacturer or repairs made without authorization (e. g. opening of valves) render the warranty void.
Spent batteries have to be collected and recycled separately from normal household
wastes (EWC 160601). The handling of spent batteries is described in the EU Battery
Directive (2006/66/EC) and their national transitions (UK: HS Regulation 1994 No. 232,
Pb
Ireland: Statory Instrument No. 73/2000). Contact your supplier to agree upon the
recollection and recycling of your spent batteries or contact a local and authorized
Waste Management Company.

Stationary valve regulated lead acid batteries do
not require topping-up water. Pressure valves
are used for sealing and cannot be opened with-
out destruction.
1. Start Up
The commissioning should take place as soon
as possible after receipt of the battery. If this is
not possible, advises acc. to item 6. shall be
taken into account. Check all cells/blocks for
mechanical damage, correct polarity and firmly
seated connectors. Torques as shown in table 1
apply for screw connectors.
Before installation the supplied rubber covers
should be fitted to both ends of the connector
cables (pole covers).
Control of insulation resistance:
New batteries: > 1M Ω
Used batteries: > 100 Ω/V
Connect the battery with the correct polarity to
the charger (pos. pole to pos. terminal). The
charger must not be switched on during this
process, and the load must not be connected.
Switch on charger and start charging following
instruction no. 2.2.
2. Operation
For the installation and operation of stationary
batteries EN 50272-2/IEC 62485-2 is mandatory.
Battery installation should be made such that
temperature differences between individual
units do not exceed 3 degrees Celsius (Kelvin).
Methods for influencing the charging voltage of
individual cells or block batteries within a string
e.g. as a part of a battery management system
(BMS) shall only be used in consultation with
"GNB Industrial Power".
2.1 Discharge
Discharge must not be continued below the volt-
age recommended for the discharge time.
Deeper discharges must not be carried out
unless specifically agreed with the manufactur-
er. Recharge immediately following complete or
partial discharge.
2.2 Charging
All charging must be carried out according to
DIN 41773 (IU-characteristic with limit values:
I-constant: ± 2%; U-constant: ± 1%).
Depending on the charging equipment, specifi-
cation and characteristics alternating currents
flow through the battery. 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
(see 2.5) which can shorten the battery life.
Depending on the installation charging (acc. to
EN 50272-2/IEC 62485-2) may be carried out in
following operations.
