1. Introduction Congratulations! You have purchased a state-of-the-art lithium battery and we hope you enjoy many years of trouble-free life. This Installation and User Guide describes how to connect and safely operate the Slimline range of 12V batteries. This User Guide covers the LFP-12V Slim line battery range. As with all batteries, you should consider the mechanical and environmental conditions that you intend to operate the battery in to maximise overall performance and achieve the longest battery life.
RV, cart or boat if not secured. Ensure the battery is safely secured before travel. If in doubt seek LFP advice and consider making use of LBS mounting brackets to safely secure the battery.
2. Do's and Don'ts cont… Avoid repeated shock and vibration Whilst the battery is robustly constructed and protected in an aluminium enclosure, it is not designed to operate continuously in high shock or high vibration environments. Normal use in a 4WD environment is acceptable and the battery has been designed in accordance with these expected conditions.
4. Battery Management System Your battery comes with an integrated Battery Management System (BMS). The BMS is an electronic solid-state circuit board which manages the cells and protects the battery across a range of scenarios which primarily includes over charge and over discharge protection. Unlike lead acid batteries, over charging or over discharging a lithium battery may lead to a hazardous scenario.
5. Installation Stowage The Slimline battery is likely to be stowed in a car, RV or 4WD or used as a portable battery for camping. An important part of the battery installation is securely fixing it down or safely stowing it away during transport so that it does not become a projectile in an accident.
5. Installation cont… Mounting orientation The Slimline battery is best mounted on its side with the Anderson terminals at the bottom. Do not mount on its side with the Anderson plugs at the top. In this configuration the internal cells are upside down which is against the cell manufacturer's recommendations.
5. Installation cont… Connecting DC loads and chargers Always follow the "Battery Charge Range" described in the specification table in Section 7 below. attempt to plug in chargers with a voltage higher than 14.6V. Doing so may lead to permanent damage of your battery.
5. Installation cont… 5.3.3 LFP12-110SLDC20 This model feature one (1) grey Anderson plug and one (1) blue Anderson plug as shown in Figure 10. The single grey Anderson can be used as an input/output for charging or running loads. The blue Anderson connector is reserved for a IOV to 16V DC input, to make use of the internal DC-DC charger.
5. Installation cont… Connecting to the integrated DC-DC charger (DCS models only) 5.4.1 Configuring the DC-DC Charger As you look at the 20A DC-DC charger, there is an LED and 2 rotary switches on the side face of the battery. Green LED which will illuminate when the DC-DC charger is ready to charge.
5. Installation cont… Table 3 below indicates the time delay rotary switch position and corresponding delay off time. DELAY SWITCH POSITION OFF DELAY TIME 30 SECONDS 1 MIN 1.5 MIN 3 MIN 5 MIN IGNITION SIGNAL Table 3: Time Delay/Ignition Trigger Switch Positions Example: If you select 'O' for the Voltage Switch Position, then the source battery will stop delivering charge once it drops to 10.0V.
6. User Guide Once the battery is securely installed and electrically connected it will automatically be available for use. The internal BMS will actively ensure the battery is always protected and operating safely. The battery requires no user interface or intervention under normal conditions. The Slimline lithium battery voltage can be monitored by installing an external display, such as our remote voltage monitor shown right.
