7 Battery Installation
NOTE: Battery trays are optional in this system. Please disregard this section if batteries are not to be installed.
WARNING
Follow battery manufacturer’s safety recommendations when working around battery systems
and review the safety instructions provided in this manual.
7.1 Preparation/Mounting
The enclosure must be mounted (Section 5) before installation of the bottom tray of batteries may be completed.
Batteries should be located in a temperature-controlled environment; i.e., Tempest. The temperature should be
regulated at approx. 25°C (77°F). Significantly lower temperatures reduce performance and higher temperatures
decrease life expectancy.
Before assembly, clean cells (where applicable) as per the battery manufacturer's recommendations. First
neutralize any acid with a baking soda and water solution. Rinse with clean water, then wipe dry.
