ROAMER 230SMART3 Safety Information

Lithium Iron Phosphate (aka LFP or LiFePO
new, factory original grade A cells purchased directly from top tier manufacturers. We also record all serial numbers for full traceability.
Roamer have taken every precaution to ensure that our batteries are as safe as possible to give you peace of mind while using our products to
power your adventures.
The Roamer Battery Management System continuously monitors current draw, voltage, and temperature within the battery to catch the early
warning signs of a problem. The active balancer fitted in your battery ensures that the cells experience equal load, meaning no one cell is
stressed more than another, minimising the risk of a wear-and-tear related problem.
Several passive protection measures are also in place such as fire-retardant materials in the case and internal structure, and pressure relief
valves on the cells to carefully manage vapour release events.
No battery is 100% safe however, and caution should always be taken when handling or operating equipment containing, or connected to,
high-capacity energy storage devices.
1. Always read the instruction manual before using the battery or equipment and retain the original product literature for
future reference.
2. Do not dismantle, open, crush, incinerate, electrocute, or otherwise alter the battery.
3. Do not use a battery which is deformed, discoloured, leaking or otherwise abnormal.
4. Do not subject the battery to mechanical shock including being dropped, or having other objects dropped on or collide
with it. If mounted in a vehicle, the battery must be restrained securely and insulated from excessive vibration.
5. Do not expose the battery to excessive cold, heat sources, or fire. Avoid storing the battery in direct sunlight. An air gap
or insulating material should be positioned between the battery if it rests directly against cold surfaces.
6. Keep the battery clean, dry, and away from sources of liquid.
7. Do not short-circuit the battery. Do not store the battery without protection over the terminals, or in an unprotected or
unlabelled box. Do not place in contact with conductive materials or liquids.
8. Mistreated batteries can present a risk of electrical, thermal, or chemical burns.
9. Keep the battery out of the reach of children and away from animals.
10. In the event of a cell or battery leak, do not allow any liquid or debris to come in contact with the skin or eyes, avoid
ingesting any liquid or debris, and avoid inhaling vapours.
11. If contact has been made, flush the affected area continuously with water and seek medical advice. If vapours have
been inhaled or liquid or debris ingested, remove the casualty to an area with fresh air and seek medical advice.
12. Large batteries can be extremely heavy and appropriate care should be taken when handling them.
13. The battery should not be handled or installed by children. Small component parts present a choking hazard.
14. The battery should be installed by competent persons. Insulated electrical tools must be used.
15. Do not remove the battery from its original packaging until required for use.
16. Do not mix batteries of different manufacturers, capacities, voltages, or types.
17. A smoke and/or heat alarm should be installed in the same compartment as the battery.
18. Strictly observe the positive (plus, +) and negative (minus, −) marks on the battery and equipment, and ensure
connections are made with the correct polarity.
19. The battery terminals should be connected using the provided connection hardware to the recommended torque
rating.
20. Only a single cable connection should be attached to the battery terminals. Busbars should be used if multiple cables of
the same potential are required.
21. Voltages of greater than 85V across the battery terminals will cause serious malfunction even if the battery is in charge
protection mode. If the system in which the battery is installed includes solar panels which operate above this voltage,
additional protection should be installed to mitigate the risk of direct connection.
