Product-specific dangers posed
by the lithium-ion battery
WARNING
Risk of burns due to hot surfaces!
The battery has an integrated brake re-
sistor that can heat up to over 100°C
during operation.
It can take several hours for the brake
resistor to cool down to a temperature at
which it poses no risk.
–
Do not touch the hot area around the
brake resistor (1).
WARNING
Risk of injury!
If the safety valve (2) trips, there is a risk of injury!
–
Exit the area around the battery immediately, re-
treating to a minimum distance of 5 m.
NOTE
The brake resistor (1) is installed differently
depending on the battery group. The build-up
of heat in the area around the brake resistor
is harmless. The safety valve (2) opens when
the battery is subjected to over pressure or
catches fire.
The nameplate is used to identify the lithium-
ion battery that is fitted.
–
Observe the instructions for the lithium-ion
battery used in your truck in the corre-
sponding operating instructions.
All lithium-ion batteries are essentially associ-
ated with the risk of a fire starting, of the
battery exploding and of the battery causing
chemical burns.
If the batteries are used properly, no hazard-
ous substances escape from the closed tray.
No contact with toxic substances is possible.
There is a risk of contact only in the event of
incorrect use (mechanical, thermal, electrical)
that leads to activation of the safety valve (2)
or to the housing cracking. As a result, the
electrolyte fluid may leak out, the electrode
material may react with moisture/water or
battery discharge/a fire/or an explosion can
