Figure 2: Proper and Improper Terminal Connections Safety While LiFePO4 batteries are inherently safe, as with all batteries, energy storage devices, and electrical equipment, safety and electrical hazards do exist. Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in electrical shock, injury, or death, or may damage the battery or other equipment or property.
Connecting the Batteries in Parallel Why Connect in Parallel? Multiple BB5024 | BB5024H batteries may be connected in parallel to increase the capacity and current of the system. When batteries are connected in parallel, the voltage of the system does not change, but the capacity and current limits are additive.
Connecting the Batteries in Series Why Connect in Series? When batteries are connected in series, current capacities remain the same, but the system voltage is additive. For example, two BB5024 | BB5024H batteries connected in series form a 48V 50Ah bank (shown in Fig. 4) and should be charged using a bulk and absorption voltage of 57.6V, and a float voltage of 54.4V.
How Does the BMS Protect the Batteries? All Battle Born Batteries come with a built-in battery management system (BMS) that protects the cells from many strenuous circumstances to protect the life cycles of the cells and your electrical system from potential damage. The BMS in the BB5024 | BB5024H allows for 60 Amps continuous, 100 Amp surge for 30 seconds, and 1/2 second surge for loads over 100 Amps.
Voltage vs. Capacity For a Single Battery How to Properly Size Cables for System Install When considering cable sizing there are a few factors to consider. First, what is the size of the load you are powering with the battery bank? Second, how far away from the battery is the load? You can do voltage drop calculations to see if you need to step up your cable size.
