- Page 6 First use & Storage Your battery will require charging before use to both activate and fully charge your battery before installing. We would recommend doing this via your mains powered Battery charger of at least 20A of charge current. The XPL12-300 Li-ion battery can be stored in an environment with temperatures between -20°C and +55°C and between 10% and 90% relative humidity, non-condensing.
- Page 7 Series Strings The batteries can be combined together in series strings to achieve higher operating voltages by connecting the positive terminal of one battery to the negative terminal of the next battery. The maximum number of 12.8V Li-ion battery that you can connect in a series is four (4). Below figure 2 illustrates four 12.8V Li-ion batteries connected in series, for a 4S1P confi...
- Page 8 Parallel Strings You can combine batteries together in parallel strings to achieve higher operating energy by connecting like-polarity terminals of adjacent batteries. To combine batteries in parallel strings, connect all like-polarity wires on adjacent batteries to an appropriately sized terminal block for your application.
- Page 9 Charging Batteries The 12.8V Li-ion is compatible with common 12V Lead-acid battery chargers. We advise using GEL or AGM charge profiles if Lithium mode not present. Do not recharge using standard split relay or direct alternator charging unless a Lithium optimised DC/DC charger is installed Chargers that require the detection of voltage at the battery terminals to charge may fail to wake the Li-ion battery from a state of under-voltage protection.
- Page 10 Wake up or Switch Off For 12v 200Ah Li-ion battery, if there are no charge or discharge for 24 hours, the battery will enter into sleep mode to save energy and it can still be measured a OCV (>10V), any charge or discharge operation will active the battery.

- Page 13 BATTERY HEATING The PolarMax has LiFePO4 chemistry, this allows it to be discharged in temperatures as low as -20℃ without any adverse effects due to the built in internal heating pad. Without this, the charging process can pose problems as charging a LiFePO4 battery below freezing Temperatures can cause irreversible damage, leading to a shorter lifespan.
- Page 14 The PolarMax Lithium range is designed to work directly with Victron systems. This neagtes the need to use extra shunts or BMS’s when using a Victron system. Our Batteries have been designed to plug into the Victron communication hub known as the Cerbo GX The PolarMax BMS once succesfully connected to the Victron Cerbo will display the following information Cell Voltages Temp...
- Page 15 Troubleshooting The PolarMax Li-ion batteries are extremely reliable batteries that provide greater useful life than comparable 12V lead-acid batteries. Despite the high reliability of the 12.8V Li-ion batteries, you may encounter situations where the battery does not operate as expected. These situations are typically the result of misuse, abuse or a non-optimal charging or storage environment.
- Page 16 Battery Current Disappears when Charging Problem: Battery current disappears when charging. Possible causes for this problem are: The battery overheated, enabling over-temperature protection. Charger voltage is too high. Solution: To resolve situations where current disappears when charging: 1.Allow the battery to cool. 2.Reduce charger voltage to 14.2~.14.6 V.
- Page 17 What are the ideal charge settings for my PolarMax? Bulk Charge: 14.2 - 14.6v Float Charge: 13.6v What size thread/Terminal type do the PolarMax Batteries have? 8mm nut and bolt connection supplied. 8mm to SAE round post adapters can be fitted. We supply them here Can I connect multiple PolarMax batteries? Yes you can! You can connect up to four PolarMax Batteries in Series or Paralell You must only connect batteries together of the same type, manufacturer and age!
