BoostLi Energy Storage Module ESM-48150B1
User Manual 2 Application Description

2.3 Application in Class B Environments with Direct


Ventilation
The ESM can be used in class A or B environments with direct ventilation but
cannot be used separately in class C or D environments. If the ESM needs to be
used in class C or D environments, cabinets with air conditioners and a high IP
rating (IP55 or higher) must be deployed.
Environments subject to atmospheric corrosion can be classified into four
categories:
● Class A environment (controlled environment): refer to indoor environments
where the ambient temperature and humidity are controlled (including rooms
where people live) and the relative humidity of air is controlled below 65%.
● Class B environment (uncontrolled environment): refer to indoor
environments where the ambient temperature and humidity are not
controlled or outdoor environments (with simple shielding measures) where
the humidity can reach 100%.
● Class C environment (harsh environment): refer to outdoor land environments
(with simple shielding measures) near seas or pollution sources. If a site is
near a sea, it is 0.5–3.7 km away from the sea. If a site is near a pollution
source, it is at most 3.7 km away from salt lakes, 3 km away from heavy
pollution sources such as smelteries, coal mines, and thermal power plants, 2
km away from medium pollution sources such as chemical, rubber, and
galvanization industries, or 1 km away from light pollution sources such as
packing houses, tanneries, and boiler rooms.
● Class D environment (sea environment): refer to outdoor land environments
(with simple shielding measures) at most 500 m away from the seashore or
environments on the sea.

2.4 Low-Temperature Application


● Low-temperature charging: The ESM does not support battery charging at a
temperature below 0°C. When the battery temperature is below 0°C, the ESM
will shut down the charging loop to disable charging.
When the ESM is used in an environment below 0°C, a heater needs to be
added in the cabinet, and batteries can be charged after the battery
temperature rises to 3°C or above.
● Low-temperature discharging: The ESM does not support battery discharging
at a temperature below –20°C. When the battery temperature is below –20°C,
the ESM will shut down the discharging loop to disable discharging.
When the ESM is used in an environment below –20°C, a heater needs to be
added in the cabinet, and batteries can be discharged after the battery
temperature rises to –17°C or above.

BoostLi Energy Storage Module ESM-48150B1
User Manual 2 Application Description

2.5 Storage with Low SOC (≤ 5%)


The ESM has ESMU static power consumption and self-discharge loss after power-
off. In actual application scenarios, avoid storing an ESM with low SOC (≤ 5%). If
unavoidable, limit the storage duration to 30 days at 25°C or 15 days at 45°C.
Promptly recharge the ESM after the storage. Otherwise, the ESM may be
damaged due to overdischarge, which requires replacing the ESM.
The following situations may cause storage of ESMs in discharge state:
1. After the site power supply is disconnected due to a mains outage, the power
supply is not recovered for a long time because the faults (such as cable
faults) cannot be rectified in a timely manner.
2. After installation and commissioning are complete, the mains power is
switched off directly without powering off the ESM. The ESM can enter the
low power mode only after being completely discharged, and the interval for
onsite acceptance check is long.
3. Other reasons result in that the ESM cannot enter the low power mode
normally.

User Manual A Common Criteria

A Common Criteria

Safety Precautions
● Avoid skin contact with electrolyte overflow. Before installing or maintaining
batteries, wear goggles, rubber gloves, and protective clothing.
● Keep the ESM loop disconnected during installation and maintenance.
● Secure ESM cables to the torque specified in the ESM documentation. Loose
connections will result in excessive voltage drops or cause ESMs to burn out
when the current increases.
● Protect your skin and eyes from ESM electrolyte leakage. If your body comes
in contact with electrolyte leakage, wash with clean water immediately and
visit a doctor.
● Avoid ingestion of ESM components.
● Protect the ESMs from mechanical vibration, collision, punctures, and strong
impact. Otherwise, the ESMs may catch fire.
● Do not throw ESMs in fire because this may cause the ESMs to ignite.
● Do not immerse ESMs in water or expose them to rain.
● Replacing an ESM with an incorrect model may cause cross current and bias
current, which will trigger ESM protection. Long-time operation with an
incorrect model will result in cell or board faults, which may cause risks such
as fire.
● If the ESM loop is short-circuited, ESM protection will be triggered and the
ESM cannot be charged or discharged. Long-time frequent short circuiting can
result in cell or board faults, which may cause risks such as fire.
● An ESM communication failure alarm caused by reasons such as loose
communications cable connection should be handled within 72 hours (default
value, configurable in the range of 1 minute to 720 hours). Otherwise, the
ESM will be internally locked, which may affect the ESM power backup.
● Dispose of waste ESMs in strict accordance with local laws and regulations.

Misoperations
The following lists some misoperations that should be avoided.

User Manual A Common Criteria

Misoperations Protection Description

Reverse If terminals are connected with reverse polarity, the ESM will
connection not start and will stay in sleep mode. If you hold down the
MANUAL ON/OFF button to activate the ESM, it will report a
protection alarm and the ALM indicator will be lit.

External short If the ESM loop is short-circuited, ESM protection will be


circuit triggered and the ESM cannot be charged or discharged.
Long-time frequent short circuiting can result in cell or board
faults, which may cause risks such as fire.

Series ESMs cannot be connected in series. If ESMs are connected


connection in series forcibly, ESM protection will be triggered.
Operations outside the protection range will result in board
or battery damage and battery protection failure, which may
cause risks such as fire.

Gas Composition
The ESM is an enclosed battery system and will not release any gases under
normal operations.
If the ESM is severely misused, for example, being burned or thunderstruck, the
ESM may be damaged, resulting in electrolyte leakage. Because the electrolyte is
of organic carbonate nature, it may produce CO2, CO, and N2 after being burned.
