The Lithium Battery also has integrated battery monitoring which provides details about its status such as voltage, current, temperature, state of charge and remaining runtime. Real-time monitoring is possible via the REDARC Lithium Battery App, CI-bus, external monitoring devices and LED indicators to inform you the status of your Lithium Battery.
WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS — This manual contains NOTICE important safety instructions. Do not operate the LBAT12150-SB Lithium Battery unless you have read and Do not operate Battery beyond published maximum understood this manual. REDARC recommends that the specifications.
Exposing the Lithium Battery to conditions outside the specified boundaries may lead to serious damage to the product, user and/or environment. CAUTION: Use the LBAT12150-SB Lithium Battery in a dry, clean, dust free, and well ventilated space. Do not expose the Lithium Battery to fire, water, solvents or excessive heat.

SIGNAL INTERFACES The Signal Interfaces are located underneath the Protective Cover. 1. FASTON Connections Located underneath the protective cover. See page 10 for more information. 2. J1 CAN Bus Interface (for future use) The CAN Bus Interface of the Lithium Battery is not galvanically isolated. The CAN Bus ground pin is fused with respect to the negative (–) terminal with a 200 mA resettable fuse.
FASTON CONNECTIONS 1. ACC 2. LIN 3. IO1 4. IO2 5. SoC 6. GND 7. IO3 8. Heater In FASTON No. Description Function Connection for power to accessories 1. ACC Accessory Power Output (fused internally, resettable). LIN Bus Connection 2. LIN LIN Bus communication channel (CI-Bus support).
NON-OPERATIONAL MODE When in Non-Operational Mode, the LBAT12150-SB Lithium Battery will not function/operate and cannot be used. This can happen if the BMS detects a malfunction in the Battery’s monitoring and control, or when a deep-discharge has caused cell damage. A deep-discharge occurs when one of the cells is at 1.5 V or lower. This is even possible when the Lithium Battery is at 10 V.
FOR CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS. Check the Lithium Battery for damage after unpacking. If the Lithium Battery is damaged, contact your reseller or REDARC Tech Support. DO NOT install or use the Lithium Battery if it is damaged. MOUNTING THE BATTERY Before use, the Lithium Battery must be fastened in such a way that it will not move during use. The Lithium Battery may be placed on its long or short side, do not mount upside down.

CONNECTING LOW CURRENT DEVICES TO THE TERMINALS The Lithium Battery has a M6 thread on both terminals that is intended to supply power to low current devices. This is not the accessory power (FASTON 1) underneath the Protective Cover (see page Connect the positive input cable of the low current device to the positive (+) terminal of the Lithium Battery and fasten using the supplied M6 Bolt.
COMMUNICATION AND FASTON CONNECTIONS PROTECTIVE COVER REMOVAL All FASTON connections can be made in one central place under the Protective Cover. The cover can be easily removed with light force and then re-fitted on when finished installing. CONNECTING THE COMMUNICATION AND FASTON CONNECTIONS CAUTION: Never use the cabling to lift the Lithium Battery, even when the cable clamps are holding it in place.
CONNECTING TO THE CAN BUS INTERFACE (FOR FUTURE USE) IMPORTANT: The CAN Bus Interface is not compatible with REDARC R-Bus devices. CONNECTING THE DATA CABLES The wired communication interface must be used in a bus network topology (see Table 2). Do not use a ring – or a star topology.
The LIN Bus in the Lithium Battery can also support protocols defined by other manufacturers, this support is extended on a regular basis and prone to change. Please email REDARC to gather information about the supported protocols on the LIN Bus.

Reserved Reserved for future use The list of supported functionalities will grow in the future and will be available by updating the REDARC Lithium App. The I/O port can service as an input and output feature: Input: When used, the input can measure a digital level between 0 V and 12 V (typical value). When there is 12 V on the input means that the input is made active, 0 V means input not active.
CHARGING USING A BATTERY CHARGER IMPORTANT: Complete all previous installation steps described before connecting the Lithium Battery to a battery charger. Connect the REDARC Lithium Battery to a battery charger in accordance with the battery chargers installation instructions. REDARC's Battery Charger ranges are compatible with LBAT12150-SB: BCDC Classic ...
NOTICE: Always connect batteries of the same type / capacity and age in a parallel setup. A maximum of eight batteries can be used when connecting LBAT12150-SB Lithium Batteries in parallel. To divide the current equally amongst batteries, use the schematic bellow:...
Correct Parallel Connection: Current equally divided. All batteries contribute equally to the current into the load. Incorrect Parallel Connection: Current not equally divided. Batteries closest to load will have the highest contribution to the current into the load. ...
Method 2: Keep at charge temperature by external source. Method 3: Keep at charge temperature source independent. Method 4: No heating. Only one heating method can be used at a time and can be selected using the REDARC Lithium App.
METHOD ONE: HEAT UP BEFORE CHARGING If one or more cells in the Lithium Battery are below 0°C (32°F) and a charge current is detected, the BMS will prevent the Lithium Battery from being charged. The BMS will then re-direct the power supplied by the charger through the Lithium Battery terminals to power the heater to heat the cells.
Lithium Battery App The REDARC Lithium Battery app and its interactions with the Lithium Battery have not been tested on all smartphone models. Visit the application pages within each App store to view compatibility details. NOTICE: When updating the Battery firmware the Battery might become unresponsive and can disable the output voltage on the terminals for up to several minutes.

The Lithium Battery is equipped with an analogue SoC output, this output provides a voltage between 0 V and 10 V which reflects the 0 –100% state of charge value. The state of charge can also be viewed via the REDARC Lithium App and via the LIN Bus (CI-BUS protocol).
MAINTENANCE WARNING: Never attempt to open or dismantle the Lithium Battery. The inside of the Lithium Battery does not contain serviceable parts. NOTICE: Disconnect the Lithium Battery from all loads and charging devices before performing cleaning and maintenance activities. ...
STORAGE Follow the storage instructions to optimise the life-span of the Lithium Battery during storage. If these instructions are not followed and the Lithium Battery has no charge remaining when it is checked, consider it to be damaged . Do not attempt to recharge or use it.
