EnerSys PowerSafe SBS User manual
PowerSafe®SBS batteries are supplied in a charged condition,
and are capable of extremely high short circuit currents. Take
care to avoid short-circuiting terminals of opposite polarity.
1. Receiving
1.1 In-Transit Damage or Short Shipments
Upon receipt of a shipment, check that the items delivered are
undamaged and match the carrier’s Bill of Lading. Report any
damage or shortages to the carrier. EnerSys®is not responsible
for shipment damage or shortages, which the receiver does not
report to the carrier.
1.2 Shipment Damage or Shortages
Open the shipping containers and check the contents for
damage and against the packing slip. Immediately inform
EnerSys of any damaged or missing items. EnerSys is not
responsible for damaged or missing items after
a shipment has been in storage.
2. Storage
2.1 Storage Conditions and Time
If a battery cannot be immediately installed it should be stored in
a clean, cool, dry area.
During storage batteries lose capacity through self-discharge.
High temperature increases the rate of self-discharge and
reduces the storage life.
The chart below shows the relationship between open-circuit
voltage (OCV) and storage time at various temperatures.
The maximum storage times before a freshening charge is
required and recommended open circuit voltage audit intervals
are:
Monoblocs must be given a freshening charge when bloc
voltages approach the equivalent of 2.10 volts per cell or when
the maximum storage time is reached, whichever occurs first.
2.2 Freshening Charge
Charge the monoblocs, or string at a constant voltage equivalent
to 2.27Vpc with 10% of the C8current available for a period of at
least 24 hours.
3. Battery Location
The battery compartment/room must have adequate ventilation
to limit hydrogen accumulation to a maximum of 1% by volume
of free air.
4. Installation
Install the batteries in accordance with the instructions and/or
layout drawing, taking care to ensure correct terminal location
and polarity. On each monobloc the positive terminal is
identified by a “+” symbol.
Connect the blocs with the connectors and fasteners provided.
The fastener torque value is:

Electrical hazard
Shield eyes
Clean all acid splash in eyes
or on skin with plenty of
clean water. Then seek
medical help. Acid on
clothing is to be washed
with water.
Danger
Read instructions
Warning: Risk of fire,
explosion, or burns. Do not
disassemble, heat above
60°C, or incinerate. Avoid any
short circuit. Metallic parts under voltage
on the battery, do not place tools or items
on top of the battery.
Recycle scrap
batteries.
Contains lead
Publication No: US-SBS-IS-007 June 2012
California Proposition 65 Warning – Battery posts, terminals
and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
Important
Read these instructions immediately on receipt. Failure to
comply with these instructions can render any warranty null
and void.€
Caution
Place the insulating covers in position immediately after
tightening the fasteners.

5. Operation
Constant voltage chargers are recommended. The charging
voltage should be set at the equivalent of 2.27Vpc at
77°F/25°C or 2.29Vpc at 68°F/20°C. The minimum charging
voltage, at any temperature, is 2.21 volts per cell. The
recommended float voltage temperature compensation is:
Do not over-discharge the battery. This can be avoided by
including a Low Voltage Disconnect switch in the circuit or by
disconnecting the battery from the load when the end
discharge voltage is reached. The float voltage must be
applied to the battery as soon as possible, and not later than
7 days after any discharge.
6. Maintenance
In practice the user usually specifies the maintenance
schedule based on site criticality, location and manpower.
The following is a suggested maintenance schedule.
Every Six Months (Record All Readings)
Measure the battery string voltage. If necessary, adjust the
float voltage to the correct value.
Measure individual bloc voltages. The blocs should be
within 5% of the average.
All readings should be recorded in a format where sudden
deviations and trends are easily identifiable. If necessary
isolate the string/bloc and clean with a damp soft cloth.
Do not use solvents or scouring powders to clean the blocs.
Contact EnerSys®if you have any questions regarding
maintenance.
7. Disposal
PowerSafe®SBS batteries are recyclable. Scrap batteries
must be packaged and transported in accordance with
prevailing transportation rules and regulations.
Scrap batteries must be disposed of in compliance with
local and national laws by a licensed or certified lead acid
battery recycler.
