6.3 Unpacking Carefully remove bolts and protective shipping hood. See Figure 3. Remove the bolts holding modules to shipping pallet. Also remove hardware bolting upper channels of modules together . Do not remove modules at this time. Base supports for horizontally stacked modules are more easily attached before removing modules from pallet (see S[...]

a module may have only one cell in a two-cell tray . For example, a 46 volt system will consist of eleven full mod- ules and one single-cell module. Assemblies can be rotat- ed 180° for proper polarity location. 8.1.1 Bottom Supports (I-beams) Locate bottom I-beam supports and M10 serrated flange bolts and nuts. I-beam supports and seismic shims s[...]

Apply a thin film of NO-OX-ID “A” grease (supplied) to all terminal surfaces, bolts, and washers. This will preclude oxidation after connections are completed. 9.1 Connections - System T erminals Each system is supplied with a terminal plate assembly for the positive and negative termi- nations. These should always be used to provide proper con[...]

Locate slots at bottom of cover to bottom standoff legs and slide in place. Locate holes at top of cover and install to top standoff legs. Standoff legs need not be removed to a[...]

1. The initial charge is complete. Charger voltage can now be reduced to float voltage setting per Section 13.2. For a target float charge of 2.25 VPC on a 24-cell system, you would set the charger voltage to 54 volts. SECTION 13: BA TTERY OPERA TION 13.0 Cycle Method of Operation In cycle operation, the degree of discharge will vary for dif- feren[...]

20 13.5 Effects of Float V oltage Float voltage has a direct effect on the service life of your battery and can be the cause of thermal instability . A float voltage above the recommended values reduces service life. T able D shows the effects of float voltage (temperature corrected) on battery life.
