BCI Warning

1. Receiving the Shipment Carefully examine the battery shipment upon arrival for any signs of transit damage and that it agrees with the materials list or packing slip. Be very careful not to inadvertently discard any accessories contained in the packing material.

Batteries contain sulfuric acid in glass fiber separators.

Use rubber gloves when handling broken or damaged containers in case of acid leakage.

2. Storage Store DataSafe 16HX-FT batteries in a dry, clean and preferably cool location.

Although batteries are supplied charged, their storage time is limited. The maximum storage intervals prior to a required refreshening charge, based on the battery’s date code label, are as follows:

■ 6 months at ambient temperature no warmer than 77°F (25°C)

■ 4 months at 86°F (30°C)

■ 2 months at 104°F (40°C) A refreshening charge shall be performed at 2.27 Volts Per Cell (Vpc) or 18.08 Volts Per Battery (Vpb) at 77ºF (25°C) for 96 hours or until the charge current does not vary for a three hour period.

The necessity of a charge can also be determined by measuring the open circuit voltage of a stored battery.

Charging is advised if the voltage drops below 2.07 Vpc (16.56 Vpb).

Maximum total storage prior to installation is two years from date of shipment from the factory to the customer. Freshening charges are required before the end of the storage time period or more frequently, as noted above.

Failure to observe these conditions may result in greatly reduced capacity and service life.

FAILURE TO CHARGE AS NOTED VOIDS THE BATTERY’S WARRANTY.

3. Installation Install in clean, dry area. DataSafe 16HX-FT batteries release minimal amounts of gas during normal operation (gas recombination efficiency ≥ 97%). The batteries can be installed near the main equipment. Batteries must be installed in accordance with local, state and federal regulations and the manufacturer’s instructions.

■ Temperature Avoid placing batteries in areas of high temperature or in direct sunlight. The batteries will give their best performance and service life when operating at a temperature between 68°F (20°C) and 77°F (25°C), however they are capable of operating in a temperature range of -22°F (-30°C) to 122°F (50°C).

Please reference the charging float voltage section for more information regarding float voltage adjustments for temperature variations. Reasonable precautions should be taken to prevent continuous operation below -22°F (-30°C) or above 122°F (50°C).

■ Ventilation Under normal conditions gas release is very low and natural ventilation is sufficient for cooling purposes and inadvertent overcharge, enabling DataSafe 16HX-FT batteries to be used safely in offices and with main equipment.

However care must be taken to ensure adequate ventilation when placed in cabinets. Batteries must not be placed in sealed cabinets.

■ Stowing For proper installation, EnerSys® battery racks and cabinets are recommended.

For rack installations, reference Assembly Instructions for DataSafe HX and HX Front Terminal UBC Battery Racks (US-HXRACK-IM).

For cabinet installations, reference Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual for DataSafe Front Terminal Battery Cabinets (US-HXFT-CAB).

Intercell connector covers (provided) should be installed after completing the intercell connections.

Attention: Unless otherwise noted, battery racks and cabinets should not be transported with intercell connectors installed.

■ Torque Tighten the M8 connector bolts between 100 and 110 in-lbs (11.3 to 12.5

N•m). A loose connector can cause problems in charger adjustment, erratic battery performance, possible damage to the battery and/or personal injury.

NOTE: Top terminal connections are secured with Nord-Lock® washers.

These washers provide an effective terminal connection over the life of the battery. If loosened, this connection should be tightened between of 80 and 90 in-lbs (9 to 10 N•m).

4. Cells in Parallel Strings When utilizing a constant voltage charger, ensure that the connections from the charger and the end of each string have the same electrical resistance. To reduce the risk of current imbalance, the number of parallel strings in any system should be limited to six.

5. Charging

■ Commissioning Charge

Upon installation, perform a Commissioning Charge on the battery with a constant voltage charger by either:

- Charging at 2.40 Vpc at 77oF (25oC) for 24 hours or

- Charging at 2.35 Vpc at 77°F (25°C) for 72 hours.

Follow the Maximum Charging Current values shown in Table 1. After completion of the Commissioning Charge at either level, reduce the charger to the appropriate Float Charge level for the battery temperature shown in the Float Charge Section.

A discharge test can be given after float charging for 24 hours.

■ Float Voltage The float/charge voltage is 2.27 Vpc (18.08 Vpb) at 77°F (25°C). When the average ambient temperature deviates more than ± 9°F (5°C) from the reference, it is necessary to adjust the float voltage as follows:

2.33 to 2.36 Vpc (18.64 to 18.88 Vpb) at 32°F (0°C)

2.30 to 2.33 Vpc (18.40 to 18.64 Vpb) at 50°F (10°C)

2.27 to 2.30 Vpc (18.16 to 18.40 Vpb) at 68°F (20°C)

2.25 to 2.28 Vpc (18.00 to 18.24 Vpb) at 77°F (25°C) (reference)

2.23 to 2.26 Vpc (17.84 to 18.08 Vpb) at 86°F (30°C)

2.22 to 2.25 Vpc (17.76 to 18.00 Vpb) at 95°F (35°C)

■ Equalize Charge The battery can be charged at an elevated voltage of 2.40 Vpc (19.2 Volts for the battery) for the purpose of an eqauilize charge or as part of a 2-step recharge profile to reduce charge time. Charge time at 2.40V should not exceed 16 hours and the current limits in Table 1 must be followed.

■ Ripple Current Unacceptable levels of ripple current from the charger or the load can cause permanent damage and a reduction in service life. It is recommended to limit the continuous ripple current to the values of the Table 1 (in amperes).

■ Charging Current The recommended charging method for DataSafe® 16HX-FT batteries is constant voltage charging. Follow the maximum charge current values in Table 1.

■ State of Charge The battery state of charge can be determined approximately by measuring the open circuit voltage after the battery has been at rest for a minimum of 24 hours at 77°F (25°C). Refer to Table 2 for these approximations.

6. Discharging

■ End of Discharge Voltage The end of discharge voltage must be limited to a minimum value of 1.60 Vpc

(12.8 Vpb). A protecting system must be installed to prevent deep discharges.

■ Discharged Cells DataSafe 16HX-FT batteries must not be left in a discharged condition after supplying the load, and must be immediately returned to float recharge mode.

Failure to observe these conditions may result in greatly reduced service life and unreliability.

■ Accidental Deep Discharge When the battery is completely discharged, the sulfuric acid is completely absorbed and the remaining electrolyte consists only of water.

At this point, the sulfation of the plates is at its maximum, considerably increasing the cell’s internal resistance.

Important notice: this type of deep discharge will provoke a premature deterioration of the battery and a noticeable effect on life expectancy.

■ The Effect of Temperature on Capacity The optimum operating temperature for DataSafe 16HX-FT batteries is 77°F

(25°C). The capacity of a battery operated above this optimal temperature generally increases at the expense of battery life while operating below this optimal temperature extends life but at the expense of capacity. Please refer to the recommended practices outlined in IEEE 1188 when determining the effect of temperature on battery capacity.

7. Maintenance and Records DataSafe 16HX-FT batteries are virtually maintenance free, sealed, lead acid batteries and need no water addition. These batteries are equipped with self-re-sealing, flame-arresting safety vents.

The containers and lids shall be kept dry and free from dust. Cleaning must be done with a cotton cloth dampened with water only. Check monthly that total voltage at battery terminals, while on float, is (N x 2.25 to 2.28 V) for a temperature of 77°F (25°C),(where N is the number of cells in the battery).

Every 12 months, read and record the following:

■ Individual battery voltages (in volts)

■ Cell-to-cell connection resistance (in ohms)

■ Terminal connection resistance (in ohms)

■ Ambient temperature in the immediate battery environment Keep a logbook to record values, power outages, discharge tests, etc.

An autonomy check can be carried out once or twice a year.

The above record taking is the absolute minimum to protect the warranty. This data will be required for any warranty claim made on the battery.
