1.3. Battery Handling Guide
In addition to the General Safety Precautions and Instructions, the following guidelines should
be observed when handling the HAB™.
1.3.1. Transportation
• The HAB™ should kept horizontal while being moved, except when it is being lifted into
place for mounting.
• Because the HAB™ weighs over 200 lb., it should be moved with the help of multiple
people and moving / lifting equipment rated over 210 lb.
• Do not drop the HAB™ or damage will occur.
• If you are transporting HAB™ batteries while they are still in the packing crate, do not
stack them more than two layers high and ensure they are strapped together to prevent
tumbling.
• Only transport the HAB™ face up.
• Check the HAB™ immediately after transporting.
• If the HAB™ is damaged in any way, do not use it; contact KiloVault® immediately.
1.3.2. Storage
In addition to the General Safety Precautions and Instructions, the following guidelines should
be observed when storing the HAB™.
• Long-term storage (between one and six months) of the HAB™ should be stored indoors
in a clean, dry, shaded, and well-ventilated area at a temperature between 59° and 95°F
(15° and 35°C).
• Store the HAB™ no longer than 6 months.
• The HAB™ must be charged to at least 70% (the state of charge upon delivery) before
storage.
• Repeated 100% discharges will decrease the battery capacity. For example, 3000, 100%
discharge cycles will reduce the battery capacity to about 75% of the original amp hour
capacity.
• Fully charge the battery within 15 days of a deep discharge of 90% or more.
• Do not drop, stack, or turn the HAB™ upside down.
• Store the HAB™ away from children and animals.
1.3.3. Response to Emergency Situations
The HAB™ is comprised of multiple batteries and is designed to prevent hazards resulting from
failures; however, no battery system is 100% safe, and KiloVault®, LLC cannot guarantee its
absolute safety.
In the unlikely event of a fire first shut off the source of the electricity if possible. We
recommend a fire extinguisher in close proximity of your power generating equipment. Class
