Danger to life due to fire or explosion when batteries are deeply discharged

A fire may occur due to incorrect charging of deeply discharged batteries. This can result in death or serious injury.

  1. Put the battery into operation within the specified time limits.
  2. If the battery is not put into operation within the specified time limits, contact Service to request recyclization of the battery-storage system.
  3. Before commissioning the system, verify that the battery is not deeply discharged.
  4. Do not commission the system if the battery is deeply discharged.
  5. If the battery is deeply discharged, contact Service.

Each individual battery cabinet can potentially cause a fire. Any damage to a battery cabinet will increase the fire risk.

To minimize the risks during storage, the following points must be observed:

  • Do not remove the battery modules from the battery cabinet.

  • The battery cabinet must be stored as a whole in a dry indoor environment.

  • Do not tilt the battery cabinet and place it on a level surface suitable for its weight.

  • Check the condition of the battery at least every 12 months.

  • For long-term storage, check the battery state of charge at least every 6 months. The state of charge should be kept between 30% and 50%.

  • Observe the locally applicable fire regulations at all times during storage.

  • Clearly label the storage room from the outside as a lithium-ion battery storage location.
