Caution! Before connecting 2 or more Li-ion batteries, the Li-ion batteries must be charged to 100% SoC. Caution! For more than 4 Li-ion batteries in series connection consult Super B or your dealer. Caution! Depending on the installation a precharge circuit is needed. For further information consult Super B or your dealer.
4.6.5. Connecting Li-ion batteries in series and parallel Caution! Before connecting 2 or more Li-ion batteries, the Li-ion batteries must be charged to 100% SoC. Caution! For more than 4 Li-ion batteries in series and parallel connection consult Super B or your dealer.
Super B Be in charge Caution! Depending on the installation a precharge circuit is needed. For further information consult Super B or your dealer. When using Li-ion batteries in series and parallel configuration CAN balancing is required (see paragraph 4.7.4).
4.7.1. CAN Bus network topology The CAN Bus must be used in a bus network topology. Do not use a ring- or a star topology. The maximum CAN bus legnth is limitted because the Li-ion battery has a fixed bitrate of 250kbps.

The maximum charge current (Imax) for Super B batteries is 1C, however for endurance cycle life Super B suggests to limit the current to C3 (1C = nominal battery capacity, C3 = 1/3 of nominal capacity). On some chargers the maximum charger active time (t0) can be programmed.

Bulk Phase Typical 1C (160 A) Depends on the battery SoC - 2*(BTcap / Chcur) Table 8. Bulk Phase Absorption phase In this phase the charge voltage must be maintained at UAbsorption to fully charge the Li-ion battery and set the State of Charge (SoC) counter to 100%. See Table 7. This phase is finished when the SoC is indicating 100%.
Super B Be in charge Maintenance phase Every t2 hours the batteries require a maintenance charge to fully charge the Li-ion battery and set the State of Charge (SoC) counter to 100%. Without this phase the Li-ion battery SoC can be inaccurate.
The Battery Monitoring software and the hardware are not included with the Li-ion battery. An overview of these products is given in paragraph 2.8.2. 5.3.1. Battery History Recording The battery history can be downloaded with the Battery Monitor software. This recording can only be accessed by a reseller or Super B for evaluation.
Super B Be in charge Inspection, cleaning and maintenance 6.1. General information Warning! Never attempt to open or dismantle the Li-ion battery! The inside of the Li-ion battery does not contain serviceable parts. 1. Disconnect the Li-ion battery from all loads and charging devices before performing cleaning and maintenance activities (see paragraph 4.7.5).
Storage Follow the storage instructions in this manual to optimize the lifespan of the Li-ion battery during storage. If these instructions are not followed and the Li-ion battery has no charge remaining when it is checked, consider it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge or use it.
Super B Be in charge Disposal and recycling 9.1. General information Always discharge the Li-ion battery before disposal. Use electrical tape or other approved covering over the Li-ion battery connection points to prevent short circuits. Battery recycling is encouraged. Dispose of the Li-ion battery in accordance with local, state and federal laws and regulations.
