Summary of Contents for JERICHO LDCB12100
- Page 2 Thank you for joining the Jericho Battery Company family! You have made an investment in a battery that will last for a very long time if used properly. Please read this manual carefully so that you have all the relevant information on how to install, operate, and maintain your battery.
- Page 3 To wire multiple Jericho batteries for higher voltages, wire them in series. Two 12V batteries in series will equal a 24V battery bank, three will equal a 36V bank, and four will equal a 48V bank. This can be useful for applications such as trolling motors on fishing boats where you need to directly power a load with a higher voltage.
- Page 4 To wire multiple Jericho batteries for higher capacity, wire them in parallel. Two 100Ah batteries in parallel will equal a 200Ah battery bank at 12V, three will equal 300Ah at 12V, and so on. This can be helpful for people who want to gradually grow their battery bank over time rather than buying a single, large battery up front.
- Page 5 4 batteries. In other words, up to 4 Jericho batteries can be wired in series to form up to a 48V battery bank OR up to 4 Jericho batteries can be wired in parallel to form up to a 400Ah battery bank (at 12V).
- Page 6 For example, a 20A charger will charge much faster than a 10A charger. The LDCB12100 should be charged with a voltage of 14.6V at most and a current of 50A at most. Use the following parameters when programming or selecting a multi-stage charger: •...
- Page 7 Company website on the product page under the Downloads tab. Your Jericho battery is equipped with a battery management system or BMS. A BMS is a circuit board that manages the battery by protecting it from operating outside its designed parameters, monitoring its overall state, monitoring the state of each individual cell, calculating state of charge and other vitals, reporting that data, and balancing the cells.
- Page 8 In the Bluetooth app, you will see a section like this: If any of the alerts or protections of the BMS has been tripped, the green squares or circles will turn red. Again, the BMS can be reset by holding down the reset button on top of the battery case for at least 3 seconds.
- Page 9 Your Jericho LDCB12100 battery has the most advanced features available today for LFP batteries. These features help you monitor your battery’s performance and status, protect it from unsafe conditions, allow it to communicate with other devices, and make it easier to use and work on.
- Page 10 Once you install the app and open it up, it will show a dashboard displaying any Jericho batteries that are within Bluetooth range. If you have multiple Jericho batteries, you may want to label each battery with a custom label so you can tell them apart.
- Page 11 *Please note this is an advanced feature that only highly technical end users should attempt to use! While this function is provided to you as part of the battery feature set, Jericho does not provide end user support for learning how to use this function. It is assumed that anyone attempting to use this feature has experience and knows what they are doing as it is possible to change settings or calibrations that will negatively affect your battery.
- Page 12 Finally, the heater cannot be manually controlled or disabled by the end user. The LDCB12100 has a button on top of the battery case next to four small LED lights. This button serves several purposes. First, it can quickly show a rough state of charge of the battery. If you press the button for 1 second or if you connect a charger to the battery, the 4 LED lights will light up to show the capacity remaining.
- Page 13 Many competitor batteries must be cut open and destroyed to physically access the BMS and internal construction of the battery. The LDCB12100 is built with a case that can be opened and closed without destroying the case. This is useful for advanced users that want to make modifications, manual calibrations, or troubleshoot problems with their batteries if they are outside the warranty period or if the warranty has already been voided, for some reason.
