9 HV Battery Handling, Care, and Transport
This chapter contains the manufacturer’s recommended procedures for
proper handling and care of the RES batteries. It also identifies certain
inspection and maintenance activities, which are needed to retain
performance and reliability.
Battery Care
Batteries should be treated with care to obtain the designed
performance and expected life from the battery.
•
Always store the batteries in a safe location away from
temperature extremes, solar radiation and precipitation (Do not
leave batteries inside a car on a sunny day or outside exposed
to rain!)
•
Handle the batteries with extreme care
•
Do not expose the batteries to high acceleration (Do not drop
the batteries!)
•
High rates of discharge shorten the life of the cell
•
Do not discharge the cells below 2.5 V per cell
•
Do not store batteries fully charged or empty
•
Do not charge the batteries too fast
•
Comply with long term storage specifications
NOTE:
Single battery take-offs are not allowed as the high
discharge rate will reduce battery life noticeably.
