Renogy RBT100LFP12SH-AU Manual

BATTERY
SMART LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE
W/ SELF-HEATING FUNCTION
12V 100Ah

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT puncture, drop, crush, burn, penetrate, shake, or strike the battery.
Version 1.1
DO NOT open, dismantle, or modify the battery.
Please keep the battery away from water, heat sources, sparks, and hazardous chemicals.
DO NOT short circuit the battery terminals. Doing so can cause current bursts and lead to
irreversible damage to the system and the battery.
Please verify the polarity before connecting wiring. Reversing polarity can and will destroy
the battery.
Please secure all cable connections to the proper specification in order to ensure good
contact between the cable lugs and the terminals. Over-tightening cable connections can
cause terminal breakage and loose cable connections can cause terminal meltdown or fire.
DO NOT string the battery in series. Doing so can cause catastrophic failure.
ONLY connect batteries of the same manufacturer and model in parallel.
Please avoid too high a voltage difference between paralleled batteries, despite the
auto-balancing function, to avoid triggering the over-current protection.
DO NOT discharge the battery at high temperatures above 140°F (60°C).
ONLY charge the battery with a battery charger or charge controller that is compatible with
lithium iron phosphate batteries.
If the battery shuts off due to low state of charge (SoC), please disconnect the battery from
your equipment to eliminate potential parasitic loads and recharge the battery as soon as
possible. Failure to do so may cause irreversible damage to the battery.
It is recommended to pair the battery with low voltage disconnect devices in the system.
DO NOT exceed the maximum charge and discharge current to the battery.
Please charge the battery at least once every 3~6 months for maintenance and to prevent
over-discharge. Long periods of storage can lead to deterioration of battery performance.

OPERATIONS

The included Activation Switch is used to switch the battery between active mode and shelf
mode.
Power Button
The battery leaves the factory in shelf mode. To switch the battery to active mode, please
connect the Activation Switch to the RS485 UP Communication Port of the battery and press
the Power Button. The dim blue LED light on the Power Button will become bright blue to
indicate that the battery has been successfully switched to active mode. Please check the
battery voltage to validate an active battery.
Prior to long periods of storage, please disconnect the battery from the system, connect the
Activation Switch to the RS485 UP Communication Port of the battery, and long press the
Power Button for 3 seconds to switch the battery to shelf mode. The bright blue LED light on
the Power Button will become dim blue to indicate that the battery has been switched to
shelf mode. In shelf mode, the battery has a low self-discharge rate and can hold the charge
for a longer period of time.
Activation Switch
RS485 UP
Communication Port
The normal operation of the self-heating function requires a stable charge current greater
than 4A for each battery in the parallel battery bank. The self-heating function will start
operating automatically once the battery temperature drops below 41°F (5°C) and stop
operating automatically once the battery temperature rises above 50°F (10°C).
