Page 19: Battery Management System (Bms)
When the battery voltage rises above 12Vdc, the BMS will reconnect. Some chargers will not charge if an open circuit is detected as the BMS has disconnected. We recommend using the Expion360 DC-DC charger or a conventional AC-DC charger to avoid this open circuit problem. -
Page 20: Communication
The status of each battery can be checked on the Expion360 app with Bluetooth. The details of configuring the battery system on the Expion360 app can be found in the Expion360 App Walkthrough. -
Page 21: 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). Please note that many factors can affect battery cycle life. -
Page 22: Storage
Properly storing the battery system between 50% and 80% state-of-charge (SoC) will prolong the battery. Check the SoC on the battery system monitor or Expion360 App. Before storing, turn off the battery system disconnect switch, and turn off the battery system by pressing the POWER switch on each battery for 5 seconds. -
