BATTERY OPERATION DIAGRAM 2 Power Button The Essential Lithium-Ion G24 batteries are equiped with an integrated button and LEDs to assist with turning battery on/off, SOC determination, fault/error handling, and status reference. Below is a description of the various button and LED functions. - Page 9 OVER DISCHARGE CURRENT OVER DISCHARGE CURRENT Discharge load is greater than the maximum allowed. Verify that the battery pack is sufficiently sized for the application. Installing an additional battery in parallel may be required in order to decrease the discharge load across each battery below the maxi- mum allowed.

DIAGRAM 3 PARALLEL CONNECTION To increase capacity without increasing voltage Two US 12VG24, rated at 100AH each connected in parallel Nominal System Voltage: 12.8V System Capacity: 200AH When using multiple batteries in parallel, it is extremely important that batteries are at the same state of charge (SOC) when installed. Never install multiple batteries in parallel without first checking the SOC. - Page 12 For the same reason, relative humidity should be kept below 90%. • Temperature The recommended operating temperature range for US Battery lithium-ion batteries is listed in “Table 1” on page 6. Temperature plays a major role in battery usage. Hot batteries will deliver more capacity, but with diminished cycle life.

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS 5.1 DISCHARGE SPECIFICATION Lithium-Ion batteries have a relatively “flat” discharge curve when compared to lead-ac- id batteries. In other words, the voltage stays level for most of the discharge until the very end. Therefore, estimating the state of charge (SOC) using voltage is unreliable. Many electric vehicles designed for lead-acid batteries have SOC displays that rely on voltage and as such these displays will no longer be accurate when used with lithi- um-ion batteries. -
Page 14: Bms Protection Criteria
5.2 BMS PROTECTION CRITERIA The battery management system is designed to disconnect the battery cells from the terminals to protect the battery from damage in adverse conditions. Note that this may cause vehicles to lose power, resulting in loss of control. Do not operate batteries outside of the specifications listed below. -
Page 15: Charging
CHARGING 6.1 BEFORE CHARGING Proper charging is critical to maximize battery performance and life. Both under- and over-charging batteries can significantly reduce the life of the battery and cause a safe- ty hazard. For proper charging, refer to the instructions that came with your equipment. Most chargers are automatic and pre-programmed. -
Page 16: Cell Balancing
• MAXIMUM CHARGING CURRENT*: 100A (PER BATTERY) *Note that repeated high current charging periods can impact cycle life and/or warranty. Stay within the recommended charging currents below to achieve the expected cycle life. The maximum value is intended to allow occasional or short term, fast charging periods. -

CAN I USE MY EXISTING LEAD-ACID CHARGER? • This answer depends on the specific charger as some chargers contain multiple settings. If the charger can be re-programmed or the settings can be changed to accommodate “lithium iron phosphate” cells, then yes. Some AGM battery profiles are compatible if they contain the voltage settings shown in the previous section. -
Page 18: Storage
Each battery has an ID on the top of the battery that will correspond to an available connection on the app. If battery cannot be found, ensure that battery is on and that the application is up to date. STORAGE For long term storage (more than a month) batteries should be stored, fully charged, and turned off. -
