2. TRANSPORTATION, HANDELING AND STORAGE
2.1 TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
Do not knock, drop, puncture, or crush the battery; Do not expose battery to ames, incinerate or direct sunlight;
Do not open battery case or disassemble the battery; Do not lift battery by the terminal cables; Do not vibrate
battery; Do not expose battery to water or other uids; Do not expose battery to open ame; Do not place the
product nearby highly ammable materials, it may lead to re or explosion in case of accident; Store at cool and

dust and dirt in the area; do not transport battery upside down.
2.2 STORAGE
Do not expose battery to high temperatures. Fortress Lithium Batteries should be stored out of direct sunlight
under the following temperature conditions.
Storage Temperature (Min./Max.): 41°F/5°C – 95°F/35°C
Relative Humidity (Min./Max.): 5%~75% RH
Systems should be put into storage at 60% SOC and checked monthly to ensure the system SOC does not fall
below 20%. At 20% SOC the battery will self-discharge in approximately 2 months. Also check the voltage every 3
months and recycle every 6 months if the battery is not use for long time.
2.3 RESPONSE TO EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
The battery pack comprises multiple batteries that are designed to prevent hazards resulting from failures.
However, Fortress Power cannot guarantee their absolute safety.

battery pack to a safe area before it catches re.
Note: Fire extinguisher
• Water, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder and foam are the most eective means to extinguish a Lithium
Ferrous Phosphate (LFP) battery re
• Use ABC Fire extinguisher, if the re is not from battery and not spread to it yet.
