Inspection, Cleaning and Maintenance

General Information​

  • The SS-16kWh-F-BATT-IP21-00 battery isn't fully charged upon shipment. We suggest installing it within three months of arrival.
  • During maintenance, avoid reinstalling batteries in the SS-16kWh-F-BATT-IP21-00 to prevent reduced product performance.
  • Do not dismantle or dissect any battery in the SS-16kWh-F-BATT-IP21-00; it's strictly prohibited.
  • After over-discharging the SS-16kWh-F-BATT-IP21-00 battery, recharge it within 48 hours. You can also charge the SS-16kWh-F-BATT-IP21-00 in parallel. Connect the charger to the output port of any SS-16kWh-F-BATT-IP21-00 after connecting batteries in parallel.
  • Do not open or dismantle the battery as it doesn't contain serviceable parts internally.
  • Before cleaning or performing maintenance tasks, disconnect the SS-16kWh-F-BATT-IP21-00 Li-Ion battery from all loads and charging devices. Use the enclosed protective caps on terminals during these activities to avoid terminal contact risks.
Warning
  • Disconnect the battery from all loads and charging devices before performing cleaning or maintenance. The inside of the battery contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to repair it.
  • Always place a protective cover over the terminals before cleaning and maintenance activities to avoid accidental contact.

Inspection​

Inspect the wiring and contacts for looseness or damage, including cracks, deformations, leaks, or any other type of damage. If any damage is found, replace the battery immediately.

  • Do not attempt to charge or use damaged batteries under any circumstances.

IMPORTANT: Avoid contact with liquid from a ruptured battery.

Regularly monitor the battery's state of charge. Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries gradually discharge when not in use or during storage. Consider replacing the battery if you notice either of the following conditions:

  1. The battery's run time decreases below 70% of the original run time.
  2. The battery's charge time significantly increases.

Cleaning​

If cleaning is required, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the Li-Ion battery. Avoid using liquids, solvents, or abrasives for cleaning purposes.

Maintenance​

The Li-Ion battery is maintenance-free. Charge the battery to approximately over 80% of its capacity at least once every year to maintain its capacity.
