BMS PROTECTION FEATURES AND ACTIVATION The KickAss Lithium Batteries are built with a Battery Management System (BMS) inside to protect the battery from overcharging, over discharging, short circuiting and extreme temperature. Over-charge Protection 3.85 ± 0.2V (Cell) / 14.8 ±0.8V (Battery)
SLEEP MODE AND ACTIVATION Sleep Modes Timing Sleep Sleep mode can be triggered by two conditions: 1. If there is no charge or discharge for 15 days. 2. If the battery continuously powers a load with current below 0.5A for 15 days, it will enter sleep mode if the single cell voltage is lower than 3.0V.
(+) terminal and black cable is connected to the negative (-) terminal. If connecting the Remote Display Unit to your KickAss Lithium Battery, connect the black data dongle on the RDU to the black data connector on the battery.
CONNECTING THE BATTERY (SERIES) Up to four batteries can be connected in series to increase the voltage (V) of the battery bank. WARNING: Ensure all batteries are fully charged before connecting in series. 100% 100% 100% 100% BATTERY 4-1 BATTERY 3-1 BATTERY 2-1 BATTERY 1-1 100%...
CONNECTING THE BATTERY (PARALLEL COMMUNICATIONS) Note: Parallel communications is only required when the KA12100-LION is used in conjunction with compatible Inverter/Charger devices. Please to refer to the Inverter/Charger device to confirm if communications with the KA12100-LION is supported. 1. If using more then one KA12100-LION battery in parallel, connect the communications cable between each battery.
CHARGING INSTRUCTION Please adhere to the following guidelines while charging your batteries: • Ensure that the charging voltage does not exceed 14.6V for a nominal 12V battery system. • The charging current should not exceed the maximum charging current specified in the User Manual's specification sheet.
3. Connect the battery to your phone. You can rename the battery after connecting. There are two ways for connecting: a) Search the battery from the device list that your phone can discover. b) Scan QR code on the battery, and the battery name will appear. Note: One smartphone can only connect to one battery at the same time.
