NOTE Charge and discharge have different operating temperature limits. NOTE If the BMS disconnects responding to temperature or current limits, wait for the temperature or current to reach normal operating limits. 5.2 Battery Fuse The Battery fuse is intended to protect the electronic components of the Battery's internal BMS from a high externally generated current.
5.6 Membrane Vent Membrane vents enable the free passage of gases and vapors and allow for the equalization of the pressure between the internal case and ambient conditions. This helps to protect and preserve the internal components of the battery. 6.
Minimum cable lengths. Select a location that minimizes the length of battery cables in order to reduce voltage drop from impedance leading to reduced performance. NOTICE Only a non-conductive material that covers less than 20% of the heat sink for 'over the top' hold-downs may be used.
the positive cable. Applicable codes may limit how far the protection can be from the battery. NOTE AC circuit breakers and DC circuit breakers are not interchangeable. Check the label on the circuit breaker to ensure it is the correct type and rating. Use only DC circuit breakers. NOTE Local electrical code in your area may require both positive and negative DC disconnect switches.
6.6 Single Battery Installation Procedure CAUTION FIRE HAZARD: Undersized cables can become hot and may potentially catch fire. Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor to moderate injury. Battery cables (battery to load and/or battery to charger) must meet the following requirements to optimize performance: Minimum cable lengths.

Battery cables (battery to load and/or battery to charger) must meet the following requirements to optimize performance: Minimum cable lengths. Select a location that minimizes the length of battery cables in order to reduce voltage drop from the impedance. Interconnection cables (battery to battery) must meet the following requirements to optimize performance: Equal cable gauge.

Connect the load positive ( + ) cable and load negative ( - ) cable to the opposing ends of the parallel batteries. LOAD (+) LOAD (-) Figure 6. Load Connections. Connect the charger positive ( + ) cable and charger negative ( - ) cable to the opposing ends of the parallel batteries.
7. OPERATION The Battery BMS prevents battery operation outside of specified operating conditions. Make sure to understand each of these protections and how to set up the system accordingly. Refer to Table 2-4. DLB Protection Specifications. NOTICE Intentional bypassing of the BMS to operate the battery outside maximum and minimum limits voids warranty.
7.4 Charging Each electrical system will have different characteristics and balance-of-system components. Modifications to charger settings may be required to optimize the system performance of each. NOTICE Always confirm that the charging device is incapable of producing transient spikes that exceed the published terminal voltage limits for the battery. NOTICE Never charge a visibly damaged or frozen battery.
7.4.3 Charging with a Lead-Acid Charger CAUTION FIRE AND BURN HAZARD: Do not perform an equalization charge on lithium batteries. Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor to moderate injury. • Not recommended. For the reasons stated below, it is not recommended to use a lead-acid charger.
