Recovery

20 seconds after the load or charge is removed.

Over-temperature in Discharge

Protection

Cell temperature above 60°C (140°F).

Recovery

Cell temperature below 55°C (131°F) for 4 seconds.

Under-temperature Discharge

Protection

Cell temperature below -20°C (-4°F).

Recovery

Cell temperature above -15°C (5°F) for 4 seconds.

Over-temperature in Charge

Protection

Cell temperature above 55°C (131°F) and a charge is detected.

Recovery

Cell temperature below 50°C (122°F) for 4 seconds.

Under-temperature in Charge

Protection

Cell temperature below 0°C (32°F) and a charge is detected.

Recovery

Cell temperature above 5°C (41°F) for 4 seconds.

Overvoltage protection monitors individual cell voltages and will trigger with any cell over 3.65 VPC and recover

when all cells are below 3.45VPC. Nominal voltages are provided for guidance only.

Undervoltage protection monitors individual cell voltages and will trigger with any cell under 2.5 VPC and recover

when all cells are above 2.7VPC. Nominal voltages are provided for guidance only.

This is the specified temperature of the cells, and not ambient. Ambient temperature and cell temperature may not

be the same.
