  • Page 5: Installation

    Expion360 batteries. When connecting multiple batteries with the Expion360 Bus Bars or power cables, tighten the M 8 x 1.25 hex bolts to 8 lb-ft (96 lb-in) torque using an adjustable torque wrench. Make sure all connections are bundled and well organized to prevent short circuits.
  • Page 6 3 threads are fully engaged. Torque to 8 lb-ft (96 lb-in). Do not finger-tighten. Do not overtighten. Check thread depth vs. bolt length. The female thread depth of the battery terminals is 12 mm. Expion360 Battery Manual, G24 and G27 Rev 1 03/10/2022...

    10.8 Vdc ± 0.4 Vdc, the BMS will reconnect. Some chargers will not charge if an open circuit is detected as the BMS has disconnected. We recommend using our DC-DC charger or AC-DC charger to avoid this open circuit problem and an Expion360 Battery Monitor to display voltage clearly. Overcurrent Protection: The BMS will monitor charge and discharge currents to protect the battery.
  • Page 10: Battery Monitoring

    The Expion360 Battery Monitor is easy to program, simple to install, and is compatible with all other brands and battery chemistries. It shows the remaining capacity (Ah), SoC (%), battery bank voltage (V), charge/discharge current (A), and charge/discharge power (W).
  • Page 11: Charge

    A single CC stage charger can charge the battery to nearly 100 % SoC. Single-stage CC chargers with target voltage settings from 14.2 Vdc to 14.6 Vdc (14.4 Vdc preferred) may also be used to charge Expion360 batteries, however, a CC- CV charger is advised.
  • Page 12 25 A output current. The Expion360 DC/DC charger is simple to install and compatible with any other LiFePO battery. Within the limits of the battery bank and alternator specifications, up to two Expion360 DC/DC chargers can be used in parallel to achieve a higher charge rate.
  • Page 13: Discharge

    5 Discharge The Expion360 battery is designed for deep cycle use only. It should NEVER be used in a starting application. The maximum continuous discharge rate of the battery bank is equal to the maximum continuous discharge rate of a single battery multiplied by the number of batteries connected in parallel.
  • Page 14 Match the battery bank’s maximum pulse and continuous discharge current to the inverter’s maximum surge and input current, respectively. For more information about pairing inverters and battery banks with capacities that are not listed above or further details about 24 Vdc, 36 Vdc, and 48 Vdc systems, please contact Expion360 technical support: Support@expion360.com +1 (541)797-6714 5.2 Circuit Protection...
  • Page 15 ANL fuses are sufficient (at the cost of reduced system efficiency). Use fuse and breakers from the following approved manufacturers to protect against overcurrent events and ensure the safety of your Expion360 battery system: Blue Sea Systems, Littlefuse, Eaton, or Bussman. Single String Battery Bank: For small battery banks that have fewer than four batteries or have a single string configuration, circuit protection (fuse or circuit breaker) should be installed close to the battery bank’s positive terminal before connecting to the load.
  • Page 16 The cables connecting the two strings to the inverter must be sized properly for the maximum 800 A current. For more information about correctly sizing circuit protection for the battery power system, please contact an authorized installer or Expion360 technical support: Support@expion360.com +1 (541)797-6714 Expion360 Battery Manual, G24 and G27 Rev 1 03/10/2022...
  • Page 17: Battery Life

    The battery is considered to reach the end-of-life (EoL) when the remaining available capacity is less than 80 % of the original capacity. The cycle life of Expion360 batteries is tested at a charge/discharge rate of 0.2C/1C, 77 °F, and 100 % depth-of-discharge (DoD).
  • Page 18: Storage

    Before storing, the battery bank needs to be completely isolated from any loads (DC load, inverter, etc.) and charging sources (converter charger, solar charger, etc.). The Expion360 Battery Monitor can be left on the battery bank to check the status of the battery bank. Charge the battery bank to full capacity and recalibrate the battery monitor, before using the battery bank after the storage.
