As with all batteries, you should consider the mechanical and environmental conditions that you intend to operate the battery in to maximise overall performance and achieve the longest battery life. LBS offer these general guidelines; however, you should seek LBS advice or that of a qualified electrical tradesperson if you are in doubt.
2.3 Maintain an acceptable temperature range Like all batteries, LBS batteries operate and perform the best, as well as last the longest, in a cool and stable temperature environment of between 10 C and 25 C.
Always perform work on passive wiring first and connect the live battery as the last connection. If you have to, when working on live circuits, exercise due care and use insulated tools where possible. If you are unsure how to install the battery, seek advice from LBS or a suitably qualified electrical tradesperson.
Extra capacity ensures lower DOD, extended life and a higher financial return on your investment. LBS batteries have a cycle life of 5,000 at 50% and 2,000 at 80% DOD. 4.1 Discharge Curve Note that unlike lead acid batteries, lithium batteries hold their voltage over the cycle, dropping off only when the battery is about 90% discharged, as indicated in Figure 4-1 for illustrative purposes.

Having the battery terminals facing forwards is also an acceptable orientation. The battery uses the aluminium lid as a heat sink, the function of which can be hampered by an upside- down orientation; therefore, mounting upside down is not recommended. If in doubt, contact LBS or a suitable tradesperson for advice.
Installation & User Guide HP Batteries; Medium Size 5.2 Connecting the battery All HP Medium batteries contains a red positive and black negative M10 terminal post. This is the main connection point for all loads. Wiring for these should be connected in the order described below.
Installation & User Guide HP Batteries; Medium Size Batteries OFF Firstly, ensure that all batteries are turned OFF. The LED backlight of the blue power switch will be off, showing that charge and load has been disconnected. Connect Wiring Connect the positive terminal of the battery first and immediately replace the terminal cap, then connect the negative terminal and immediately replace the terminal cap.
Installation & User Guide HP Batteries; Medium Size WHEN THE BATTERY IS INITIALLY TURNED ON, ALL THE GREEN LEDS WILL FLASH FOR A FEW SECONDS. ONLY ONE LED WILL FLASH CONTINUOUSLY ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE BATTERY DISPLAY SCREEN. IF YOU SEE A RED FLASHING LED, THEN THERE IS A FAULT WITH THE BATTERY AND YOU NEED TO REFER TO THE TABLE 6-1.
Installation & User Guide HP Batteries; Medium Size a little longer. The max cell voltage will drop below 3.35V – this will reset the charge blocking and For example, if you notice that your lithium battery is not charging, put a load on this battery, or wait allow charging again.
Installation & User Guide HP Batteries; Medium Size 6.0 Battery User Guide 6.1 Battery Management System Your battery comes with a Battery Management System (BMS) mounted internally. The BMS is an electronic solid-state circuit board which manages the cells and protects the battery across a range of scenarios which primarily includes over charge and over discharge protection.
Installation & User Guide HP Batteries; Medium Size BMS User Interface Figure 6-2 BMS User Interface Location A detailed view of the interface is illustrated in Figure 6-3 and shows a close-up of the Comms port, Status LED, Shutdown Button, Start Button, Power button and BIC 1, 2, 3 LED status light which are discussed below.
Installation & User Guide HP Batteries; Medium Size If the STATUS LED is flashing RED, this means the BMS has disconnected the battery because of some Protection/issue and has gone into one of the following error states shown in Table 5-1 on page 16. The issue is shown by the number # of flashes of the RED LED on the battery as follows (and described on the remote Monitoring Screen).
2) Connect your charger(s) – maximum input current should be limited to 45 Amps. 3) If you have an LBS AC charger (or solar panels/alternator into an LBS BIC battery), this will automatically charge the battery up to an acceptable level, after which the battery will connect again.
SHUTDOWN Button Acts like a reset button to revert back to the factory default settings. Some older models of LBS batteries require pressing the Start button to wake up again. MED HP Batteries – Installation & User Guide...

Installation & User Guide HP Batteries; Medium Size 7.0 Remote Monitoring Screen The LBS remote Monitoring Screen shown right can be used to monitor and control the battery remotely, such as in the cabin of an RV. It is designed with an LCD display and 3 push buttons to power, troubleshoot and control the batteries connected to the system.
Installation & User Guide HP Batteries; Medium Size Screen Pages This is the scan screen which appears after the battery is turned on. The software will search for all batteries connected to the system, regardless of if there is one battery or more. This should take about 20 seconds: This screen indicates the battery level.

Installation & User Guide HP Batteries; Medium Size The TERM CUR value indicates the amount of current into or out of the gray Anderson connector and the battery terminals, which are both connected in parallel. Low readings of ±0.3 Amps can be taken as a zero-value due to the response of the electronics to small changes in measurement.
