Page 6: General Product Information
GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION The lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO4) is the safest battery in the lithium-ion battery family. It is highly current resistant, universally applicable and has a low weight compared to lead, gel or AGM batteries. In addition, the latest lithium iron technology offers a high degree of intrinsic safety, eliminating the risk of explosion even under the most extreme conditions. -
Page 7: Bluetooth Function
The lithium batteries are up to 75% lighter, resulting in enormous weight savings. Double capacity = same space = half the weight BLUETOOTH FUNCTION For easy monitoring of the FORSTER FB series battery, we offer a Bluetooth function with a free FORSTER Smart Connect app. COLD RESISTANCE The extended cold resistance of the FORSTER X-series allows the batteries to operate at temperatures as low as -20°C. -
Page 8: Battery Management System (Bms)
BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (BMS) A battery management system monitors and controls the individual cells of a battery and protects them from damage. Key features of a battery management system: OVERLOAD PROTECTION: The BMS switches off the battery outputs in case of overload to protect the cells. At this point, the battery has no voltage;... - Page 9 BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (BMS) FORSTER standard lithium batteries have a standard BMS with all key control and charging functions built in. To protect the battery cells, the BMS developed by FORSTER automatically takes over the following functions: • Overload protection •...
- Page 10 The superior performance of Forster batteries results from the use of Prismatic Power Cells. In contrast to conventional batteries consisting of many small interconnected cells, FORSTER relies on a small number of larger battery cells. The minus in complexity brings a plus in performance, service life and safety.

Page 11: General Information
All information available in the battery, such as state of charge, incoming and outgoing current, voltage and temperature, is transmitted in real time via the Bluetooth transmitter. The FORSTER app can be used to visualise the parameters. Even the smallest FORSTER battery is equipped with this modern radio moni- toring system. - Page 12 • The app only supports one-to-one mode. (Bluetooth hardware function) • The app only works for FORSTER lithium batteries, phone / tablet. Another device cannot be connected. • Please make sure the battery has enough power and is running normally.
