1. RECEIVING BATTERIES
Immediately upon receipt of shipment, examine the
outside of the packing for signs of rough handling before
accepting battery from carrier. If there is evident damage,
the receipt should be signed and both copies (carrier’s
and receiving copies) marked “Shipment Received
Damaged”. The carrier should be called immediately
and asked to make a “Carrier’s Inspection for Damage
Report”. If “concealed” damage is later detected, the
carrier should be called immediately and requested to
make a “Carrier’s Inspection for Concealed Damage
Report”. After inspection by the carrier, arrangements
should be made with the local representative to have
the battery repaired before placing it in service.
BEFORE PLACING BATTERIES IN SERVICE,
REVIEW AND ADHERE TO THE SAFETY
GUIDELINES (ITEM 6).
2. PLACING IN SERVICE
All ELEMENT batteries must be given a freshening
charge prior to their use. To accomplish this, connect
the battery to the on-board SCR charger and commence
charging until the charger indicates that it is in the float
stage.
3. CHARGING
The charger is matched to the battery with respect to
voltage and ampere-hour capacity. The charger is a
GNB-approved high frequency charger with a CC-CV-
CC profile which includes automatic charge control
features. The constant voltage portion of the curve is
set at 2.37 volts per cell.
The charger will automatically switch to float voltage of
2.28 volts per cell once the CC-CV-CC standard charge
has completed.
TO BEGIN CHARGING: ALWAYS CONNECT
THE BATTERY TO THE CHARGER PRIOR TO
CONNECTING THE CHARGER TO AC POWER.
TO STOP CHARGING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT
THE CHARGER FROM AC POWER PRIOR TO
DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY FROM THE
CHARGER.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS SEQUENCE MAY
CAUSE CHARGER DAMAGE.
4. COOL DOWN
When the battery reaches an 80% depth of discharge,
disconnect battery from the lift truck and connect to
the on-board SCR charger. The battery will normally
reach full charge in 12 to 16 hours. Once the charge
is complete, the battery must be allowed to cool down.
BATTERY REQUIRES COOL DOWN PERIOD
FOLLOWING A CHARGE. FAILURE TO ALLOW
FOR COOL DOWN WILL SHORTEN BATTERY
LIFE.
5. OPPORTUNITY CHARGING
The ELEMENT battery is capable of being charged
during any breaks or downtime to provide additional
capacity within a given shift. Guidelines for opportunity
charging are as follows:
• Battery in the range of 30% - 60% depth of discharge
• Allow for full charge at least once per week
• Avoid duty cycle changes that would allow this
battery to sit discharged for periods greater than 24
hours
6. SAFETY
• Warning: Risk of fire, explosion, or burns. Do not
disassemble, heat above 38 degrees Celsius, or
incinerate.
• Wear appropriate safety equipment when working
around electrically live batteries.
• Under no circumstances should you attempt to
remove the safety relief-valve vent cap. Such removal
shall void the battery’s warranty and seriously impair
battery performance.
• The ELEMENT battery can emit hydrogen gases
under some abnormal charging conditions. Whenever
possible, charge in a well-ventilated area and keep
open flames away from batteries. However, normal
warehouse ventilation is adequate for normal usage.
• Lift batteries with hoist, crane, lift truck, or similar
equipment; move batteries on trucks, conveyors, or
rollers. Make sure equipment is of ample strength
and properly installed.
• Disconnect battery from the truck when performing
maintenance and repair on motor or electrical
system.
• Open or “break” battery circuit before attempting
repairs to charging plug or receptacles.
