 Batteries installation guidelines
• After following installation manual & Data sheet please consider below points during batteries installation and inspection.
• Use torque range to installed batteries nuts and bolts.
• Using proper crimping tools for DC cables lugs and heat shrink for DC cables isolation.
• Keep Safe distance between batteries 1CM minimum to safe batteries against thermal run away damage.
• Check all batteries manufacture date before installing them not exceed 2 years maximum.
• Matching the output voltage and current of power cabinet for each string and check its operation during charge/Discharge some
times controller need to be restarted after new parameter settings.
• Revise parameter setting before installing new batteries according to installation manual for each batteries type.
(Rectifier Float Voltage ,Boost Voltage, Equalized Voltage ,Charge current ,battery rated capacity and temperature compensation)
• Recommended Batteries ambient temperature25℃ and recommended operated range 25℃ ～ 28℃
• When the system has a high temperature disconnect the batteries at 60°C temperature in order to avoid thermal damage.
• Enable & activate Temperature compensation at ±25°C.
• Adjust battery rated capacity according to total number of batteries strings installed at power cabinet.
• Check batteries voltage before & after installation voltage difference to be maximum 0.15V/ 12V Block.
• Adjust LLVD and BLVD according to number of cascaded to avoid deep discharge.
• Check Cooling Unit/System operating condition before installing batteries and periodically follow it

 Batteries Parameters settings
• The optimum level for float charging is 2.27VPC ±0.02VPC at +25°C (Float Voltage 54.48V)
• Boost voltage (equalize) recommends 2.35 VPC as boost voltage at +25°C (Boost or Equalize Voltage 56.4V)
• Boost or Equalize voltage shall be limited to the boost voltage level and shall be from 6 to 16 hours.
• The optimum level temperature +25°C (+77°F). If the Battery temperature increases above this level, a thermal compensation of -4
mV/cell/°C is recommended for safe operation ,and if the temperature decreases below 25°C, the voltage should be increased by 4
mV/cell/°C.(compensation coefficient 96mV/deg.C)
• Recommended Charge current for float application 0.25C(total batteries capacity/4)
• Battery rated capacity (according to Power cabinet Type).
1st (enter single battery string capacity and number of battery strings)
2nd (enter total battery capacity) for example ( total rated capacity for site has 2 battery strings 200Ah =400Ah)
• BLVD and LLVD to be adjusted as per below for both cascaded and normal sites.

Parameter Normal Sites Cascaded Sites

LLVD(Radio Loads Disconnect) 44.4V 45.6V
BLLVD(TRM Loads Disconnect) 43.2V 42
Batteries Spacing for air and cooling Process (1CM)
• When received Batteries a visual check should be made on the
Batteries If the batteries show transportation damage,
physical damage to the case, leaking electrolyte etc. they
should not be installed and a claim should be initiated

 temperature Impact on battery life time

• Batteries are electrochemical devices, so it is recommended to operate the batteries within 20-
25ºC
For example, if the temperature rises from the recommended operating temperature of +25°C, to
+45°C, the expected battery life will decrease from 10 to 2 years
