Stryten Energy E Series Absolyte Agps Batteries Instruction Manual (+ PDF)

Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can cause burns and other
serious injury. If there is contact with sulfuric acid, flush
immediately and thoroughly with water. It is recommended to use
safety goggles, rubber apron, and rubber gloves.
Batteries can generate explosive gases. Keep sparks, flames,
and smoking materials away from the battery area to prevent
explosions and serious injuries.
Multi-cell systems attain high voltages, so extreme caution
must be exercised during installation. Always interrupt the AC and
DC circuits before working on batteries or charging equipment.

2. Storage:

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for proper storage of
the battery.

3. Charging (Constant Voltage Only):

Follow the steps below for initial and equalize charge:

Refer to the provided table for the equalize charge voltage and
times.
When the charging current has tapered and stabilized (no
further reduction for three hours), charge for the number of hours
mentioned in the table or until the lowest cell voltage ceases to
rise.
Monitor the cell voltages during the final 10% of the charge
time to determine the lowest cell voltage.

4. Connection Torque:

Torque all terminal and intercell connections to at least 100
inch-lbs once per year.

5. Inspection / Records:

Generate an initial battery maintenance record at the time of
installation. Include battery make, model and serial numbers, date
of installation, initial cell voltages, charger type and settings.
A digital voltmeter may be required.
Maintain quarterly records thereafter, including cell voltages,
temperature, charger settings, and date of measurements. Take cell
voltages while the battery is on float in a fully charged
condition.

1.0 Safety Precautions
1.1 Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can cause burns and other serious injury. In the event of contact withsulfuric acid, flush immediately and thoroughly with water. The use of safety goggles, rubber apron, and rubber gloves is recommended.
1.2 Batteries can generate explosive gases, which when released, can explode and cause blindness and other serious injury. Keep sparks, flames, and smoking materials away from the battery area.
1.3 Multi-cell systems attain high voltages, therefore, extreme caution must be exercised during installation of a battery system. Interrupt the AC and DC circuits before working on batteries or charging equipment.

2.0 Storage
2.1 It is recommended that Absolyte batteries be stored indoors in a cool (<25°C) dry location.
2.2 The storage interval shall not exceed six (6) months unless the battery receives an equalize charge at the end of six (6) months and every six (6) months thereafter as long as it remains in storage. Elevated temperatures (>25°C) will result in higher rates of self-discharge.

3.0 Charging (Constant Voltage Only)
3.1 Initial and Equalize Charge. See the table below for equalize charge voltage and times.

EQUALIZE CHARGE VPC 2.30
2.35

TIME – HRS 24 12

When charging current has tapered and stabilized (no further reduction for three hours), charge for the number of hours

in the table to the left or until the lowest cell voltage ceases to rise. To determine the lowest cell, monitoring should be performed during the final 10% of the charge time.
3.2 Perform an equalize charge: · For batteries in storage. Refer to 1.2 above. · At time of equipment installation. · When the float voltage of any cell is less than 2.18 VPC or when the float voltage of any individual cell is more than 0.05 volts from average. It may also be used to recharge a battery in a minimum amount of time following an emergency discharge.
3.3 Float Charge. The recommended float voltage is 2.25 ± 0.02 VPC when using a non-temperature correcting charger.-If a temperature compensating charger is used, the minimum float voltage allowed is 2.20 VPC and the maximum float voltage is 2.35 VPC. Operating beyond these limits will reduce the design life of the Absolyte product. The standard temperature correcting value is 0.003 VPC for each degree variation from 77°F. This value is added to the recommended float voltage at 77°F for temperatures below 77°F and subtracted for temperatures above 77°F.
4.0 Connection Torque – Torque all terminal and intercell connections to 100 inch-lbs at least once per year.
5.0 Inspection / Records
5.1 An initial battery maintenance record should be generated at the time of installation. This should include battery make, model and serial numbers, date of installation, initial cell voltages, charger type and settings. A digital voltmeter may be required.
5.2 Quarterly records should be maintained thereafter including cell voltages, temperature, charger settings and date of measurements. Cell voltages should be taken while the battery is on float in a fully charged condition.
