The metal parts of the battery terminals are always live. Electrical hazards exist in the voltage and current ranges that are found in battery systems and associated electronics. S-Line Battery Stack WARNING: Connecting battery stacks in series can lead to dangerously high voltages. Any series configurations must be reviewed by Aquion prior to installation. When connecting the unfused, S30-0080 stacks in parallel, Aquion recommends placing overcurrent protection devices as close as possible to the DC bus. 3.2 Electrical Safety S-Line Battery Stack The maximum charge/discharge current of the S30-0080 is 17 A. The stacks must be protected from overcurrent charge/discharge with appropriately rated overcurrent protection devices. If grounding is required, see Section 6.5.3. M-Line Battery Module Each battery module includes twelve 1,000 V, 20 A fuses, one for each component battery stack. The fuses do not come pre-installed (see Section 5.5 for fuse installation instructions). The combined maximum fuse rating of 240 A is greater than the maximum rated current of the module, 204 A, to allow for internal energy redistribution. 3.3 Chemical Hazards AHI battery materials are non-toxic and present no chemical hazards. The AHI electrolyte is sodiumsulfate-based saltwater with a neutral pH. In the unlikely event that the electrolyte comes in contact with eyes or skin, thoroughly wash it out with water. Electrolyte residue on the battery terminal can be wiped away with a cloth. A collection pan under the battery stack or module is not needed as the electrolyte will not leak during normal operation, and any leaked electrolyte will not damage battery surfaces or equipment. Refer to the SDS for additional information. 3.4 Gas Emissions The battery may emit trace amounts of gas H2, O2, CO2, and CO during normal operation. These gasses are not accumulated in hazardous quantities if the batteries are ventilated according to the 3 AQ-OP-00016_A.02 guidelines in Section 5.2.3 of this manual. The battery has passed the UL 1973-13 Overcharge Test, which includes monitoring for toxic vapors and combustible vapor concentrations. Overcharging the battery will result in venting of non-hazardous gas, primarily composed of H2, O2, CO2, and CO, through the pressure relief valve. 3.5 Weight Hazards S-Line Battery Stack The battery stack weighs 118 kg (260 lbs) and must be transported and handled with appropriate precautions. A furniture dolly with an appropriate weight rating may be useful for transporting the battery stack, though care should be taken not to tilt the stack more than fifteen (15) degrees. M-Line Battery Module The battery module weighs 1,504 kg (3,315 lbs) and must be transported and handled with appropriate precautions. The use of forklift trucks and pallet jacks is recommended to move and position battery modules. 3.6 Ingress Protection The International Electrotechnical Commission publishes the International Protection (IP) Code, which classifies the degrees of protection provided by electrical equipment enclosures against ingress of solid particles and liquid. Product Solid Particle Protection Level 2a Liquid Ingress Protection Level 2b IP code Battery stack Confirmed Confirmed IP22 Battery module Confirmed Not tested IP2X a protected from ingress of objects greater than 12.5 mm, such as fingers or similar objects (IP##) b protected against harmful effects of ingress of dripping water when tilted up to 15 degrees, for a duration of 10 minutes or less (IP##) 3.7 Decommissioning Hazards AHI batteries are non-toxic and non-corrosive. Do not dump into any sewers, on the ground, or into any body of water where water runs off into open bodies of water. Dispose of according to all federal, state, and local regulations. 4 AQ-OP-00016_A.02 4 Transportation and Receipt of Product 4.1 Shipping 4.1.1 Shipping Hazards The shipping configurations for battery stacks have undergone a modified International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) 3H shipping test. Modified ISTA 3H testing is pending for the battery module. Aquion battery stacks and modules are shipped at a very low state of charge and voltage. See Section 7.1 for initial charging instructions. 4.1.2 Shipping Requirements Battery stacks and modules shall not exceed fifteen (15) degrees of tilt angle during transportation and placement. Aquion batteries should not be tipped for an extended period of time during shipping. Ensure that this restriction is communicated to the shipper prior to transport. 4.2 Disassembly Hazards WARNING: Do NOT attempt to disassemble battery stacks. Do NOT remove the nut on the compression fixture on top of the stack. Battery stacks have been compressed to optimize battery performance. Releasing this load could result in poor battery performance, permanent damage to stack components, and/or injury. 4.3 Packaging S-Line Battery Stack Battery stacks arrive 12 or fewer to a pallet. They may be wrapped (U.S. shipments) or crated (shipments outside the United States). On crated shipments, a Tip-N-Tell indicator and a DropN-Tell indicator are affixed on the outside of the crate. On wrapped shipments, these indicators are affixed on the outside of the wrapping. M-Line Battery Module Battery modules arrive wrapped and on a pallet. The Tip-N-Tell and Drop-N-Tell indicators are affixed to the outside of the wrapping. 4.4 Delivery Inspection Immediately upon delivery, inspect all hard goods for signs of damage or tipping during transit before signing for the delivery. Any of the following MAY indicate damage during transport: + Damaged or torn packaging + Scraped or punctured product components + Tripped Tip-N-Tell indicator 5 + Tripped Drop-N-Tell indicator + Leaking electrolyte (clear liquid) AQ-OP-00016_A.02 If you find damage, document any signs of damage on the bill of lading before accepting the shipment. Separately document and photograph all damage, and make a claim with the carrier as soon as possible. Contact your distributor immediately. Slight bulges or depressions in the battery stack cases are normal. The battery stack cases are intentionally flexible to accommodate compression of the electrode stack and normal variations in internal pressure during operation. A slight concave deformation, or depression, in the sidewall of the battery stack case is not unusual, especially in new batteries, and does not present an unsafe condition. A convex deformation, or bulge, projecting no more than 10 mm from the sidewall of the battery is also not unusual and does not present an unsafe condition. If a bulge projects more than 10 mm, do not place the battery in service, or remove it from service if already commissioned, and contact Aquion Technical Support (see Section 10). 6 AQ-OP-00016_A.02 5 Installation ! ATTENTION: BATTERIES SHIP WITH LESS THAN 2% STATE OF CHARGE AND AT LESS THAN 45 V. See Section 7.1. MODULE FUSES ARE INCLUDED BUT NOT INSTALLED. See Section 5.5. 5.1 Unpacking Unpack all items carefully and note quantities received. Battery stacks are shipped on pallets. Any accessories may have been shipped separately. Battery modules are permanently fastened to pallets. Contact your authorized Aquion distributor if any items are missing or damaged. 5.2 Site Requirements 5.2.1 Exposure and Enclosure Battery stacks and modules should be installed indoors or enclosed from the elements. A fully sealed enclosure is not necessary. Install and operate battery stacks and modules out of direct exposure to sunlight. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may damage the polypropylene casing and reduce product lifetime. 5.2.2 Size and Weight The battery stack weighs 118 kg (260 lbs), and the battery module weighs 1,504 kg (3,309 lbs). Position battery stacks and modules only on surfaces appropriately rated for the product’s weight. Ensure that the installation location is large enough to contain the battery product. 5.2.3 Ventilation Per IBC and NFPA 1 guidelines, installations in enclosed spaces require ventilation equal to either six (6) air changes per hour or ventilation at 1 cubic foot per minute (CFM) per square foot of room size. 5.2.4 Humidity Install batteries in clean, ordinary conditions protected from water exposure. Direct exposure of battery stacks or modules to water may cause shorting. The units may be installed in humid or coastal regions with atmospheric salt. 5.2.5 Ambient Temperature Battery stacks and modules must be operated in temperatures between -5°C and 40°C on a 24-hour average. Operation above or below these limits will cause advanced degradation of the battery chemistry. Battery stacks and modules must be stored in temperatures between -10°C and 40°C. Storage above or below these limits may permanently damage the batteries. 7 AQ-OP-00016_A.02 5.3 Moving S-Line Battery Stack Use proper lifting procedures and personal protective equipment when moving the S-Line product. The S-Line product has been designed to be moved using the lifting eye and metal tierod that runs vertically through the center of the stack. Each shipment of six S-Line stacks includes one lifting eye. The lifting eye screws onto the tie rod and can be used to move one stack at a time. Use a crane, hoist, or similar device of appropriate loadbearing capacity to lift the S-Line product vertically by the lifting eye threaded onto the tie-rod. NEVER LIFT S-LINE PRODUCTS BY THE TERMINALS OR ANY PART OTHER THAN THE SUPPLIED LIFTING EYE THREADED ONTO THE TIE-ROD AS THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT AND/OR SIGNIFICANT INJURY. No other component of the S-Line product is designed to support the weight of the stack. Alternatively, use an appropriately sized hand truck to move S-Line product(s), so long as the product is not tilted more than fifteen (15) degrees. Position the stack on the hand truck so that the stack wiring faces out, away from the upright frame of the hand truck. M-Line Battery Module The battery module must be transported and handled with appropriate precaution. The use of forklift trucks and pallet jacks is recommended to move and position battery modules. 5.4 Placement S-Line battery stacks and M-Line battery modules do not need any particular amount of clearance between other stacks, modules, or other architectural features. Always follow local codes for aisle and access requirements. Do not stack battery stacks or battery modules on top of each other. Do not place other items on top of the battery stacks or battery modules. The battery stacks and modules have been designed to be moved and installed in an upright position (less than fifteen (15) degrees of tilt). Before moving and installing any S-Line or M-Line product, ensure that the path from the site of product receipt to the installation site will not require tipping the battery more than fifteen (15) degrees, and ensure that the installation location is level. 8 AQ-OP-00016_A.02 5.5 Battery Module Fuse Installation Instructions Each battery module ships with 12 uninstalled 20-A fuses, one for each component battery stack, located beneath the module’s top cover.

The following parts and tools are recommended: + ring terminal (Morris Products 11072) + nut (McMaster 93839A835) + 10 AWG wire + standard wire crimper Attach the ring terminals to the battery stacks, and then ground the stacks. M-Line Battery Module The battery module is equipped with a ⅜”-16 grounding lug. A ground wire of proper size, based on local code and regulations, should be connected to this grounding lug and directly to the system DC ground. 20 AQ-OP-00016_A.02 7 Commissioning 7.1 Initial Charge Aquion batteries are shipped at less than 2% state of charge (SOC) and less than 45 V. If the initial voltage is insufficient for charging power electronics, the batteries can be charged using a battery charging device set to the operating limits of the stacks or modules as defined the latest Product Specification Sheet, available at http://info.aquionenergy.com/download-specs. Use only power supplies designed to charge batteries. Most DC power supplies are not designed to charge batteries and lack sufficient reverse current protection. During its initial charge cycles, the battery may accept more energy than its nominal energy capacity before it reaches its max voltage. This is the normal conditioning process that occurs in the battery. A specific conditioning procedure is not required. 7.2 Voltage Matching S-Line Battery Stack If stacks are to be wired in parallel, match the voltages of all stacks within 5 Vdc before connecting individual stacks together. Take care when “live parallel bussing” batteries with unequal open circuit voltages. The high impedance of the AHI battery limits its short-circuit current. However, connecting battery stacks with voltage differences greater than 5 Vdc can damage the stacks and create an unsafe operation. 7.3 Configuring Inverters and Charge Controllers Aquion Energy works with nearly all off-the-shelf inverters and charge controllers designed for 48 V residential energy storage systems. To set your specific equipment, use the information provided in Section 8 and Appendix A of this manual. 21 AQ-OP-00016_A.02 8 Operation To maximize the performance and longevity of Aquion batteries, follow the operation guidance presented below. Failure to operate the batteries within these limits may damage the batteries, degrade their performance, shorten their life, and void the product warranty. 8.1 Operational Limits 8.1.1 Current S-Line Battery Stack S-Line Battery Stacks must be charged or discharged at no more than 17 A. M-Line Battery Module M-Line Battery Modules must be charged or discharged at no more than 204 A. 8.1.2 Voltage Battery stacks and modules must be operated between 40 and 57.6 Vdc after initial charge. 8.1.3 Ambient Temperature Battery stacks and modules must be operated in a 24-hour average ambient temperature between -5°C and 40°C. 8.1.4 Configuration Aquion recommends monitoring for large systems of battery stacks or modules connected in parallel. When using Aquion monitoring equipment (see Section 6.5.1), up to 192 stacks or 16 modules per inverter or power control system can be connected in parallel. See Section 6.5 for complete parallel wiring information. M-Line Battery Modules may be operated in systems up to 1,000 Vdc. 8.2 Recommended Charge Profile Aquion batteries can be charged using the same type of three-stage profile used for lead acid batteries. Though not strictly correct for the AHI chemistry, the lead acid terminology (bulk, absorption, float) is included for clarity. Unlike lead acid, AHI batteries do not require a float voltage, but one is included to maintain a full state of charge. 22 AQ-OP-00016_A.02 S-Line Battery Stack Aquion S-Line battery stacks should be charged using the following set points: Max Current 17 A/stack Max (Absorption) Voltage 57.6 V at 30°C average charge (Absorption) Time at Max V 1 hour Float Voltage 54.0 V, or 52.1 V if holding for >4 hours (UPS/grid-tied) M-Line Battery Module Battery modules must be charged or discharged with less than or equal to 204 A of current. There is a 20 A fuse on each individual battery stack, and internal stack interactions may have up to 3 A of impact in high-rate conditions. Battery modules should be charged using the following set points: Max Current 204 A/module Max (Absorption) Voltage 57.6 V at 30°C average charge (Absorption) Time at Max V 1 hour Float Voltage 54.0 V, or 52.1 V if holding for >4 hours (UPS/grid-tied) 8.3 State of Charge 8.3.1 Partial State of Charge AHI batteries can maintain a partial or low state of charge (SOC) without significant performance loss. Periodically charging the battery to 100% SOC, known as an equalization charge, is not required to maintain battery life. AHI batteries may be stored between 0% and 100% SOC for short periods. For guidance on long-term storage, see Section 8.6. 8.3.2 Determining State of Charge S-Line Battery Stack The state of charge of an Aquion battery stack can be estimated by measuring its open circuit voltage (OCV). To measure the OCV, first disconnect the battery stack or stacks from the DC bus by either unplugging the H4 connectors or powering down the system. Let the battery stacks sit unpowered for at least three hours, then measure the voltage between the positive and negative terminals. 23 AQ-OP-00016_A.02 8.4 Discharging S-Line Battery Stack Battery stacks can be discharged at up to 17 A of current individually. M-Line Battery Module Battery modules can be discharged at up to 204 A of current per module. 8.5 Self-Discharge The self-discharge of the Aquion AHI battery chemistry is closely related to the ambient temperature at which the battery is held. Aquion batteries should be held within the temperature range outlined in the Product Specification Sheet (available on the Aquion Energy Customer Portal at http://info.aquionenergy.com/customer-portal). Aquion batteries exhibit the following capacity losses due to self-discharge over the course of one (1) month: + at -5°C: < 2% + at 10°C: 5% + at 30°C: 18% + at 40°C: > 25% For the AHI battery chemistry, the capacity loss due to self-discharge is not irreversible. Capacity lost over a month can be recovered simply by recharging the battery to 100% SOC. 8.6 Long-Term Storage If battery stacks or modules are to be stored for an extended period of time, remove all signal and power connections to prevent unintended self-discharge and undetected ground faults. Keep any grounding in place. To avoid permanent damage, store products in the following conditions: + between -10°C and 40°C + indoors or protected from sun and water 8.7 Recycling and Disposal AHI batteries are non-toxic and non-corrosive. Do not dump into any sewers, on the ground, or into any body of water where water runs off into open bodies of water. Dispose of according to all federal, state, and local regulations. 8.8 Record Keeping Aquion Energy recommends maintaining proper system documentation records. These include a single-line diagram of the complete system and a log documenting system settings (inverter, charge controller, charge voltages, etc.). Record Description Frequency Single-line system diagram Complete AC and DC system diagram At installation or upon change System component settings Charge voltage and current settings At installation or upon change 24 AQ-OP-00016_A.02 Aquion Energy recommends maintaining proper and regular operating records. These include battery temperatures, maximum and minimum operating voltages, and maximum currents.

With the appropriate voltage, time, and temperature compensation settings, the Aquion battery can use the common lead acid charge profile of Bulk, Absorb, Float. The Aquion battery does not require a float current, as lead acid batteries do, but there is a regulation voltage at which the battery can be held following its absorption charge cycle. Different settings apply if the battery is to be used primarily in an off-grid application versus a grid-tied, UPS-type application. The goal of off-grid, solar/battery charged applications is to charge the battery as fast as possible when power is available. The grid-tied or UPS use case emphasizes providing 26 AQ-OP-00016_A.02 voltage settings that ensure the long-term life of the battery and maximum available energy when required. To achieve this goal, the battery will use a lower float voltage or utilize silent mode settings. The inverter settings in this appendix are recommendations only. They are intended to keep the batteries within their operational limits (maximum voltage, maximum current, etc.). These settings can be changed to optimize the performance of your particular system. Please contact Aquion Energy support (see Section 10) for any further assistance. A.1 Definitions + Bulk current – Maximum current at which the battery can be charged. + Absorption voltage – Voltage at which the battery can be maintained in the constant voltage “absorption” stage of the charge profile. This condition allows the battery to charge at a faster rate. + Absorption time – Length of time that the battery should be held at absorption voltage. + Hold (float) voltage – Voltage at which the battery can be held following the absorption stage. The hold stage allows the battery to maintain a full state of charge when the system is generating more power than is required by the system loads. A.2 Voltage Limits vs. Temperature The table below shows the maximum absorption and float voltages as a function of temperature. If your power control electronics do not allow you to set temperature-compensation values, use 57.6 V as the maximum absorption voltage. Ambient Temperature (°C) Charge Phase 0 10 23 30 40 Absorption Voltage (V) 58.5 58.2 57.8 57.6 57.3 Float Voltage (V) 53.0 52.7 52.3 52.1 51.8 A.3 How to Charge Aquion Batteries All off-grid power control devices that have temperature compensation have a battery temperature sensor accessory. Affix the battery temperature sensor to the side of the topmost battery in the eight-battery stack. For groups of stacks, install the battery temperature sensor on the most central stack. Aquion recommends that the sensor be attached with high-quality tape, in addition to any selfadhesive included with the sensor. A.4 Temperature Compensation The Aquion AHI battery is capable of operating at higher ambient temperatures than lead acid batteries can. The reference temperature for the AHI battery is 30°C, rather than the 25°C typical of lead acid technologies. Because most off-grid power electronics are designed to use 25°C as the reference temperature and have varying temperature compensation functions, care must be taken when selecting the appropriate charge settings for an AHI battery. 27 AQ-OP-00016_A.02 A.5 Device-Specific Settings by Manufacturer This section suggests settings for several power control devices when they are connected to Aquion batteries. All settings are for off-grid applications with battery stacks unless otherwise noted as being for modules or for grid-tied or UPS applications. If your device is not shown, derive the settings from the “Voltage Limits vs. Temperature” table above (Section A.2) or contact Aquion Energy technical support for assistance (see Section 11). Settings may need to be adjusted for a specific installation’s use, configuration, or operating environment. Contact Aquion Energy technical support for assistance. A.5.1 Morningstar Several Morningstar charge controllers can be configured using their serial/Modbus adapter and the MSView software. The charge controllers operate at different voltages (12, 24, or 48 V) depending on the initial battery voltage when power is connected.
