Connecting to an EFOY Fuel Cell
An EFOY fuel cell is the best charger for the EFOY lithium battery and significantly
extends the service life of the battery.
The latest generation of EFOY fuel cells (EFOY 80/150 and EFOY Pro 900/1800/2800) can
optimally charge the battery even at sub-zero temperatures and communicate with the
battery. The state of charge display (SOC) of the battery in connection with these fuel
cells is much more accurate than with conventional LiFePO
4
batteries. Information on
installing and connecting the EFOY fuel cells can be found in the October 2020 revision
of the EFOY fuel cell mounting instructions at
www.efoy.com
.
Use the charging cable provided in the EFOY fuel cell product contents. Two optionally
available connecting kits, which consist of a data cable, a port doubler RJ12 and an SFC
Bus End Piece, are available to connect the battery to the EFOY fuel cell. One connecting
kit includes a 3 m long data cable and the other a 10 m long data cable.
The data connection between an EFOY fuel cell and an EFOY battery is provided by the
SFC Bus. An SFC Bus End Piece must be inserted into one of the two data RJ12
connectors on the battery at the end of this SFC Bus connection.
