  • Page 8: Setup And Storage

    SETUP AND STORAGE INSTALLATION Ensure that the area in which you will be performing installation of the battery is dry. Secure the battery firmly to the mounting surface, ensuring that no movement is possible even under significant force. You may install the battery in any orientation, including upside-down. Ensure that your proposed installation location will not cause the battery to be exposed to temperatures in excess of the maximums stipulated in the specifications table of this manual.
  • Page 9 SETUP AND STORAGE (CONT.) CONNECTION - GENERAL We recommend that no more than four cable lugs be connected directly to a battery terminal. If you do have more than 4 lugs, you should use a fuse block and negative busbar instead. Ensure the battery terminals are clean before connecting any cable lugs to them.
  • Page 10 SETUP AND STORAGE (CONT.) CONNECTION - MULTIPLE BATTERIES IN PARALLEL You may connect up to six (6) of these batteries in parallel. This will create a single system in which the total capacity is the sum of the capacities of the individual units and the nominal voltage is equivalent to the voltage of one unit e.g.
  • Page 11 SETUP AND STORAGE (CONT.) CONNECTION - MULTIPLE BATTERIES IN SERIES You may connect up to six (6) of these batteries in series. This will create a single system in which the nominal voltage is the sum of the voltages of the individual units and the system capacity is equivalent to the capacity of one unit e.g.
  • Page 12 SETUP AND STORAGE (CONT.) STORAGE, SHIPPING AND DISPOSAL Ensure that the battery is stored in a dry, clean, shaded and well-ventilated environment, at a temperature range that does not exceed the maximum storage temperature stipulated in the specifications table in this manual. Where possible, endeavour to store the battery at around 40-50% state of charge.

  • Page 13: Charging

    CHARGING CHARGE METHODS Lithium batteries need to be charged slightly different to other batteries, to ensure they live a long life and provide maximum capacity. There are several charging devices you can utilise, but whichever device you choose, it must have a lithium charge profile. Suitable devices include DC-DC chargers, solar panels (with regulator) and AC (mains power) chargers.
  • Page 14 CHARGING (CONT.) CHARGE METHODS: SOLAR PANEL WITH REGULATOR 12V solar panels harness the energy of the sun to charge your battery. There are many solar panel options on the market, but they can be split into two main categories: fixed and portable. Fixed solar panels usually have a rigid metal frame.

  • Page 15: Bms And Remote Reset Switch

    BMS AND REMOTE RESET SWITCH Your battery comes equipped with an integrated advanced Battery Management System (BMS). The BMS ensures there is an even energy balance between cells and allows up to six of these batteries to be connected in parallel or series. The BMS contains an intelligent protection circuit module which protects against overcharge, over-discharge, short-circuit and over-temperature, and can shut off power to the battery if required.

  • Page 16: Frequently Asked Questions

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. Do I need a specific charger for my battery? A. Yes, you will need to ensure that the charging method that you choose is suitable for use with lithium batteries. Please refer to the “Charging” section of this manual for further details. Using a charging method other than those we stipulate may void your warranty.
