QuickStart Guide Welcome to the world of lithium-ion Green Cubes SAFEFlex lithium-on batteries are safe, reliable, and provide exceptional cycle life and cost of ownership. This guide will help you understand the basics of storing, installing and operating your new Green Cubes SAFEFlex lithium-ion battery. Please read through this guide and contact us if you have any questions. Safety and Precautions • Battery should be handled and installed by a trained professional with proper lifting straps and equipment rated for weight listed on data plate. • Prior to servicing, the battery must be keyed off and disconnected from truck and/or charger. • Battery is only to be opened by trained professional. • Cell tops must be insulated before performing all service work. • Tools must be insulated to protect battery against short circuits during servicing. Installation The battery should be installed in the battery compartment by a trained professional using a forklift and lifting straps. In addition, there are cutouts in the battery case that must be used when lifting the battery. The service weight of the battery is printed on the data plate. Make sure your equipment is properly rated to handle the battery weight. Main Power Connection Once installed, the main power connection should then be connected to the truck and will be either a Euro or SB style connector (shown below). Truck- Battery Data Connection In some cases, the battery and truck will have a separate data connection that must be connected as well. The data connection is required on some trucks to provide accurate battery discharge indicator reporting and/or Early Warning System (EWS) information. If a data connection is required, the battery will not supply power to the truck until it is properly connected. If there is no data connection, then a battery discharge indicator (BDI) is required. On/Off Switch The on/off switch should be easy to locate on the outside of the battery. To turn the battery on, press the switch. The line designates the on position and the circle designates off. On/Off Switch (shown in the “Off” position) If the battery is being stored or waiting for deployment in a truck, make sure it is turned off until put into use. The Battery Management System draws a small amount of power and will slowly discharge the battery over time. Turning the battery off prevents the possibility of overdischarge. Battery Discharge Indicator If there is no data connection to the truck, the battery requires a Battery Discharge Indicator (BDI). In some batteries the BDI will be integrated into the battery. If the BDI is not integrated an external BDI must be installed in a location that is easily seen by the driver. In some applications there will be a GCT BDI and a data connection to the truck. The BDI displays useful information for the driver, along with error codes. The default view shows the state of charge, the pack voltage, and the current draw or charge. Euro Connector

Opportunity Charging The battery is designed for opportunity charging, and plugging it in whenever not in use (breaks, lunch, and after hours) will lengthen the runtime and lifetime of the battery. It is strongly recommend the battery be plugged in for charging whenever it is not in use. Operating Temperatures Standard operational temperatures for the battery are: Discharge: -4°F - 131°F Green Cubes BDI The BDI will flash the red light and beep if it needs attention. The following conditions will trigger the alarm: Charge: 32°F - 113°F The battery may have additional options such as internal...
