nstallation / Maintenance / Storage
•
Consumers and charging devices should be connected „diagonally“ in the case of parallel
connection, i.e. plus from the first battery, minus from the last or vice versa
Here are examples of series and parallel circuits:

3.3 Maintenance
•
LiFePO4 batteries require no regular maintenance other than cleaning with a damp cloth;
they are absolutely maintenance-free
•
Nevertheless, check the tight fit of the pole terminals from time to time
•
Cyclical use once a year is recommended, charging to 100%
3.4 Storage and decommissioning
•
If the battery remains installed in the vehicle for longer than 6 months and is not used,
disconnect the terminals from the battery if possible or switch off the battery isolator switch
•
If the battery is stored removed from the vehicle, the terminals should be protected with a
protective cap or masked off; storage in a dry place at a temperature of approx. 20°C is ideal
•
Before storage, please charge to approx. 70-80%, this gives enough leeway to compensate
for the self-discharge (<3% per month) and to store for several months
