8 Storage, Dismantling and Disposal

Storage

Long storage times without charging or discharging the battery at regular intervals may lead to permanent damage of the battery.

If the battery is stored at room temperature (200C to 300C) it will automatically discharge at a rate of 3-6 % per month due to internal reactions. Storing the battery at temperatures above room temperature should be avoided. A high storage temperature also means greater battery self-discharge.

Batteries that are stored at room temperature should be recharged every six months to maintain their full capacity and service life.

Connect PROTECT B. to the mains without load i before putting it into storage, in order to make

sure that the battery is fully charged.

The charging time should be at least as long as recommended in chapter 3.4 “Technical Data”.

Dismantling

The system is dismantled in reverse order of the installation instructions.

Disposal

In the interest of environmental protection and recycling, please dispose condemned components in accordance with the regulations and legal guidelines when permanently taking the system out of operation.
