Security signs attached by:
Do not lift or pull up blocks/cells on the poles.
Non-compliance with operating instructions, installations or repairs made with other than
original accessories and spare parts or with accessories and spare parts not recommended
by the battery manufacturer or repairs made without authorization (e. g. opening of valves)
render the warranty void.
Pb
Stationary valve regulated lead acid batteries do
not require topping-up water. Pressure valves
are used for sealing and can not be opened with-
out destruction.
1. Start Up
The commissioning should take place as soon
as possible after receipt of the battery. If this is
not possible, advises acc. to item 6. shall be
taken into account.
Check all cells/blocks for mechanical damage,
correct polarity and firmly seated connectors.
Apply the following torques for screw connec-
tors:

Number of cells/blocks
GNB order no.:
Rubber covers shall be fitted to both ends of the
connector cables (pole covers) before installation.
Control of insulation resistance:
New batteries: > 1M Ω
Used batteries: > 100 Ω/Volt.
Connect the battery with the correct polarity to
the charger (pos. pole to pos. terminal). The
charger must not be switched on during this pro-
cess, and the load must not be connected.
Switch on charger and start charging following
item 2.2.
2. Operation
For the installation and operation of stationary
M 8
batteries EN 50 272-2 is mandatory.
20 ± 1 Nm
Battery installation should be made such that
temperature differences between individual cells/
blocks do not exceed 3 degrees Celsius (Kelvin).

2.1 Discharge
Discharge must not be continued below the vol-
tage recommended for the discharge time.
Deeper discharges must not be carried out
unless specifically agreed with the manufacturer.
Recharge immediately following complete or
partial discharge.
2.2 Charging
All charging must be carried out acc. to DIN
41773 (IU-characteristic).
Recommended charge voltages for cyclical
application: See fig. 1 and item 2.8.
According to the charging equipment, specifica-
tion and characteristics alternating currents flow
through the battery superimposing onto the
direct current during charge operation.
Alternating currents and the reaction from the
loads may lead to an additional temperature
increase of the battery, and strain the electrodes
with possible damages (see 2.5), which can
shorten the battery life.
2.3 Maintaining the full charge (float charge)
Devices complying with the stipulations under
DIN 41773 must be used. They are to be set so
that the average cell voltage is as follows
(within temperature range 15 to 35° C):
SOLAR, SOLAR BLOCK: 2.30 Vpc ± 1%
A600 SOLAR: 2.25 Vpc ± 1%
2.4 Equalizing charge
Because it is possible to exceed the permitted
load voltages, appropriate measures must be
taken, e.g. switch off the load. Equalizing char-
ges are required after deep discharges and/or
inadequate charges. They can be carried out as
follows: Up to 48 hours at max. 2.40 Vpc and
with unlimited current. The cell/block temperature
must never exceed 45° C. If it does, stop char-
ging or revert to float charge to allow the tempe-
rature to drop.
For system voltages ≥ 48 V every one to three
months:
Method 1: IUI
I-phase = up to voltage acc. to fig.1 at 20° C
U-phase = until switching at a current of
1.2 A/100 Ah to the second
I-phase
I-phase = 1.2 A/100 Ah for 4 hours
Method 2: IUI pulse
I-phase = up to voltage acc. to fig. 1 at 20° C
U-phase = until switching at a current of
1.2 A/100 Ah to the second
I-phase (pulsed)
I-phase = charging of 2 A/100 Ah for 4-6
hours where the pulses are 15
min. 2 A/100 Ah and 15 min.
0 A/100 Ah.
