- Page 8 A LiFePO� cell will fail if the voltage across the cell exceeds �.��V. The cells of LiFePO� battery do not automatically compensate each other at the end of the charge cycle. The additional functions of a BMS are: Protection of the cell against undervoltage by cutting the load over time. Protection of the cell against overvoltages by reducing the charging current or by stopping the charging process.
- Page 9 �.Safety rules �.� General rules Please note these instructions and keep them! Make sure it is near the LiFePO� battery. Work on the LiFePO� lithium battery should only be carried out by a specialist. Make sure to fix it correctly and firmly, and always use suitable transport equipment. Handle lithium batteries with care.
- Page 10 �.� Elimination Batteries marked with the recycling symbol must be returned to recognized recycling centers. After consultation, they can also be returned to the manufacturer. Batteries are not allowed in household or industrial waste. �.� Important notes Never expose to direct sunlight. Protect from heat. The LiFePO�...
- Page 11 �.� Verification After receiving the LiFePO� battery, please check if the device has been damaged in any way (e.g. transportation). In this case, please do not put the device into operation and contact the seller. �.� The installation conditions As long as the battery holders are already available and suitable, they can continue to be used.
- Page 12 �.� Charging the battery before use The battery is fully charged to approximately ��% when shipped from the factory. It is recommended to fully discharge and charge the new battery before use. �.� Maintenance No direct maintenance is required. To maintain the battery, keep the connection electrode and the surface clean, tighten the clamp and lightly grease.
- Page 13 �.Use of the battery �.� Charge and discharge The LiFePo� battery charges quickly. The time is considerably reduced. There are no long waiting times. Since there is no memory effect with this battery, it does not always need to be fully charged. The service life tends to increase if the battery is not always fully charged. The recommended charging voltage is ��.�V.
