2. Storage
Store the battery indoors in a dry, clean,
cool location (0C to +30C / +32F to
+86F) and well ventilated space on open
shelves.
Do not store in direct sunlight or expose
to excessive heat.
I
3. Installation
3.1. Location
Install the battery in a dry and clean
room. Avoid direct sunlight and heat.
The battery will give the best performance
and maximum service life when the
ambient temperature is between +10C
to +30C (+50F to +86F).
3.2. Ventilation
During the last part of charging, the
battery is emitting gases (oxygen and
hydrogen mixture). At normal floatcharge the gas evolution is very small
but some ventilation is necessary.
Note that special regulations for
ventilation may be valid in your area
depending on the application.
3.3. Mounting
Verify that cells are correctly
interconnected with the appropriate
polarity. The battery connection to load
should be with nickel plated cable lugs.
Recommended torques for terminal bolts
are:
M 6 = 11 1.1 N.m
M 8 = 20 2
N.m
M 10 = 30 3
N.m
The connectors and terminals should be
corrosion-protected by coating with a
thin layer of anti-corrosion oil.
Remove the transport seals and close
the vent plugs.

4. Commissioning
Verify that the ventilation is adequate

A good commissioning is important.
Charge at constant current is preferable.
When the charger maximum voltage
setting is too low to supply constant
current charging, divide the battery into
two parts to be charged individually.
If the current limit is lower than indicated
in the Table A, charge proportionally for
a longer time.

2. Storage
Store the battery indoors in a dry, clean,
cool location (0C to +30C / +32F to
+86F) and well ventilated space on open
shelves.
Do not store in direct sunlight or expose
to excessive heat.
I Cells empty and discharged
Saft recommends to store cells empty
and discharged. This ensures
compliance with IEC 60623 section
4.9 (storage)
Cells can be stored like this for many
years.

3. Installation
3.1. Location
Install the battery in a dry and clean
room. Avoid direct sunlight and heat.
The battery will give the best performance

5. Charging in service
high level
= 1.47 - 1.70 V/cell for L cells
= 1.45 - 1.70 V/cell for M and H cells.
A high voltage will increase the speed
and efficiency of the recharging.
For single level charge:
1.43 - 1.50 V/cell.
I Buffer operation, where the load
exceeds the charger rating.
Recommended charging voltage (+20C
to +25C / +68F to +77F):
1.50 - 1.60 V/cell.

7. Changing electrolyte
In most stationary battery applications,
the electrolyte will retain its effectiveness
for the life of the battery. However,
under special battery operating
conditions, if the electrolyte is found to
be carbonated, the battery performance
can be restored by replacing the
electrolyte.
