Install Lineage 2000 VR Series Batteries in 80A
Cabinet Battery Compartment
SUMMARY: Unpack and visually inspect the batteries for damage. Measure the
voltage of each battery. Requirement: 4.20 V DC or higher. Place batteries in the
battery compartment (Figure 1). Coat inter-battery bus bars with NO-OXid grease.
Connect the batteries together with the bus bar as shown in Figure 2. Connect battery
string cable to batteries 1 and 12. Check the battery string voltage, note polarity and
voltage (Requirement: minimum 50.4 V DC). Connect cable from power shelf to
battery string cable. Repeat for second battery string to be installed.

DANGER:
Batteries are electrically live at all times and are able to supply several
thousand amperes short circuit current. Great care should be exercised to
avoid short circuiting the battery terminals. Insulated tools must be used;
any rings, watches, bracelets, etc. must be removed when working on
batteries.
!
DANGER:
Any contact of electrolyte with skin or clothing should be avoided. If
contact occurs, the electrolyte can be neutralized by flushing with plenty
of water. If electrolyte enters the eye, immediately flush the eye with
water and seek medical help. If the batteries appear damaged in
shipping, protective rubber apron, rubber gloves and goggles should be
worn by persons handling the batteries.
!
CAUTION:
The Lineage 2000 VR Series battery is valve regulated, starved
electrolyte lead acid cell. Should the case crack, it is possible that small
amount of electrolyte (one ounce) could leak out. The electrolyte is
sulfuric acid and should be handled as highly corrosive material. No
battery installation should be attempted unless the installer has ready
access to several gallons of water and a package of baking soda. Baking
soda or solution of baking soda and water may be used to neutralize
small amounts of electrolyte.
