Rebelcell 24V50 AV Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 9

Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your Rebelcell battery (with battery charger and accessories
where applicable). The battery has been developed for use as a power source for e-boating with 24V
electric motors and 24V trolling engines in angling boats.
You have purchased one of the two models below:
24V50 AV li-ion battery (1,25 kWh) with or without a matching battery charger.
24V100 AV li-ion battery (2,49 kWh) with or without a matching battery charger.
The description below applies to both models.
Safety precautions and warnings
Your Rebelcell li-ion battery (hereafter battery) has been engineered with a safe and long user life in
mind. It is important to thoroughly review this instruction and follow the safety precautions. Not doing
so may invalidate the warranty and result in the malfunctioning of your battery and further damage.
Use cables of sufficient thickness and (ANEN) plug connectors (such as the Quick Connect EM
•
cable) to connect your trolling engine to the battery for safe use. Never use crocodile clamps to
connect to the battery! These connections are not safe and can result in heat development with
damage to your outboard or battery.
Use a suitable fuse (e.g. like the fuse in the Quick Connect EM cable) between the battery and
•
the trolling engine to protect both.
Avoid direct contact of your hands with both battery terminals: danger of electric shock!
•
Avoid reversing the + and – battery terminals when connecting the battery. This can lead to
•
irreversible damage to your battery!
Only use isolated tools when installing your battery. And keep metal objects, such as jewelry,
•
away from the battery.
Your battery is 'waterproof' according to the IP54 standard. To avoid issues we recommend
•
placing the battery in a waterproof battery container and/or on a elevation to ensure that the
battery is never partly or fully in the water on the bottom of your boat. Water damage is explicitly
excluded from the warranty.
Fix your battery (e.g. with fixation bands) on a vibration free surface to ensure that sliding is
•
impossible.
When used outside the permitted standards (e.g. high load) your battery will automatically turn
•
off. No power will be available until the battery can operate within these standards.
Avoid damaging the battery by dropping it. In case of external damage do not use your battery
•
but have Rebelcell check for proper and safe operation.
Place the battery in the coolest environment possible. Do not expose the battery to sources of
•
direct heat such as (open) fire, heating or exposure to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Long-term use in high temperatures (> 40 ° C) has a negative influence on service life. At a
temperature of 55 ° C, the battery will shut itself down until a normal operating temperature is
reached.
The battery is classified as dangerous goods for transportation purposes (ADR Class 9). Review
•
the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) on our website for more information.
Your battery may only be opened by Rebelcell for repairs.
•
Installation and Use
Your battery is equipped with screw battery terminals in size M8. Make sure if you connect your
•
electric outboard or other device to the battery to use M8 tongue connectors. Remove the
protective caps on the battery terminals before use, and charge the battery (the battery is not fully
charged yet due to transport and storage requirements).
When you connect your trolling motor to the battery please ensure that the connecting cables
•
have M8 tongue connectors and preferably a fuse and (as for instance with the Quick Connect
EM cable). Tighten the M8 battery terminals securely with a socket wrench: improperly fixed
terminals can be dangerous and generate heat, which can lead to dangerous situations and
damage to your trolling engine and battery.
