LEAD ACID STATIONARY BATTERIES
VALVE REGULATED LEAD ACID FLOAT SERVICE
PowerSafe® SBS, V, VE, V-FT, VX, DDm, DDmP, DDr, DGX, OPzV

EnerSys Delaware Inc. (“EnerSys”) warrants PowerSafe® SBS, V, VE, V-FT, VX, DDm, DDmP, DDr, DGX and
OPzV Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) float service batteries and racks against defective materials and
workmanship for the full period as defined in Table A from the date the battery is placed in service or the full
period plus six months from the date of shipment, whichever occurs first.

A. If initial physical inspection identifies flaws in material or workmanship that would impair life of the battery, as
defined by this warranty, or product performance, as defined by EnerSys’ electrical and physical
specifications as published at the time of shipment and these flaws are not due to transportation damage or
installation abuse;
OR

B. If on initial “Acceptance Test”, as defined in IEEE Std. 1188, “IEEE Recommended Practice for Maintenance,
Testing, and Replacement of Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) Batteries for Stationary Applications”, the
properly installed battery string fails to meet the published performance ratings* per EnerSys’ latest published
catalog data at the time of shipment;
In the event of either A or B above, contact your nearest EnerSys sales representative to request
instructions. You will be instructed either a) to return the equipment to an EnerSys factory or
service center location, FOB Destination-Freight Prepaid, for examination, or b) to wait until an
EnerSys representative arrives at the site to inspect the equipment.

If EnerSys determines in its sole discretion that the Battery is physically or electrically unsound due to defective
materials or workmanship on the part of EnerSys, the defective battery(ies) will be repaired or replaced, at the
sole option of EnerSys, without charge to the original purchaser (“User”) for replacement materials. However,
costs of replacement installation including but not limited to equipment, travel expenses of EnerSys
representatives, and costs of material transportation expenses shall be borne by the User. The replacement
battery shall only complete the remaining unused portion of the original warranty of the replaced battery.

* Published performance ratings. Initial capacity shall be a minimum of 90 percent of the rated string capacity upon shipment per IEEE-1188.

Normal battery float life may be expected only when the battery is operated under the aforementioned temperature conditions. If
operation of the battery is not within these parameters, the battery warranty shall be null and void.

Useful service life is considered to have expired when the battery fails to deliver 80% of its rated string capacity. The rated string capacity is
that which is published in EnerSys catalog literature at the time of shipment. The determination of actual capacity shall be made in
accordance with the “performance test” guidelines of IEEE Std. 1188. If the battery is maintained per the installation/maintenance instructions

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Introduction

EnerSys® modular valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries have unique features that make
them easy to install and maintain. These batteries are composed of absorbed glass mat (AGM)
separators with flat plates and electrolyte.

The AGM retains the electrolyte between the plates to ensure long float service.

PowerSafe® batteries utilize calcium alloy grids (NO cadmium) which float at a lower current than
antimony (Sb) grids. Lower float currents, in conjunction with superior and uniform thermal
management, reduce the chances of thermal runaway. (Temperature compensation chargers
are also recommended.)

PowerSafe® VRLA batteries typically do not require a seperate battery room or “Hood” exhaust
system like traditional Vented Lead Acid (VLA) Batteries. However, they do require adequate
ventilation and should not be placed in “air tight” locations.

Systems are available in 24 VDC and 48 VDC configurations. These systems allow for assembly
at remote locations.

2.0 SAFETY

2.1 General

PowerSafe® VRLA lead acid batteries are reduced-maintenance batteries that operate on
recombinant principles and do not require water addition throughout their service life.

Under NORMAL operating conditions and use (i.e. properly charged and maintained), their
design features include:
DRAFT
• minimized hydrogen gas release

• the virtual elimination of acid misting

• essentially the elimination of electrolyte leakage

Under ABNORMAL operating conditions (i.e. not properly charged and maintained) or as a
result of damage, abuse and/or misuse, the potentially hazardous conditions of hydrogen
gassing, acid misting and leakage may occur.

YOU SHOULD BE TRAINED IN HANDLING, INSTALLING, OPERATING AND MAINTAINING
BATTERIES BEFORE YOU WORK ON ANY BATTERY SYSTEM.

You MUST understand the risk of working with batteries and BE PREPARED and
EQUIPPED to take the necessary safety precautions. If not, contact EnerSys® Reserve
Power Service.

2.2 Safety Equipment and Clothing

When working with any battery system, be sure you have the necessary tools and safety
equipment, including but not limited to:

• insulated tools • rubber apron • face shields
• rubber gloves • safety goggles & shoes • emergency eye wash
• fire extinguisher • acid spill cleanup kit • and shower, if available

ALWAYS:

• remove all jewelry (i.e., rings, watches, chains, etc.)
• keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from the battery

NEVER lay tools or other metallic objects on the battery modules.

Using the correct tools and wearing proper safety equipment will help prevent injury should an
accident occur.

DRAFT2.3 Safety Precautions
2.3.1 Electrolyte Burns

Because VRLA cells are sealed, they normally do not present an acid
danger. However, they do contain electrolyte which can cause burns
and other serious injuries.

Always wear protective clothing AND use the correct safety tools.

In case of SKIN CONTACT with sulfuric acid, IMMEDIATELY

1. REMOVE contaminated CLOTHING

2. FLUSH the area THOROUGHLY with WATER

3. Get MEDICAL ATTENTION, if required.

In case of EYE CONTACT with sulfuric acid, IMMEDIATELY

1. FLUSH THOROUGHLY for at least 15 minutes with large
amounts of WATER.

2. Get MEDICAL ATTENTION.

In case of sulfuric acid CONTACT WITH CLOTHING OR MATERIAL,
IMMEDIATELY

1. REMOVE contaminated CLOTHING

2. Apply a solution of sodium bicarbonate solution (1.0lb/1.0gal or
0.5 kg/5.0 liters of water) on the clothing or material.

3. Apply the solution until bubbling stops, then rinse with clean water.

NOTE:
In case of a electrolyte SPILL, bicarbonate of soda or an emergency
spill kit should be within the battery room.
