Enerdrive ePOWER B-Tec Lithium Battery- Owners Manual (Rev. 3.01)
Page 14
A:
The ePOWER battery is designed to install in the upright position only. Installing it laying on its
side or end will damage the lithium cells with the possibility of internal venting from the cell and early
failure of the battery will occur, which is not covered under warranty.
Q:
Can I install the ePOWER B-TEC battery under the bonnet of a car?
A:
Enerdrive recommend the installation of the battery in a dry, well ventilated cool space. Installing
the battery under a bonnet of a vehicle will reduce the performance and shorten the lifespan of the
battery due to high temperatures usually found within an engine bay.
Battery NOT Warranted for
Under bonnet use.
Q: How safe are the ePOWER B-TEC Lithium Batteries?
A:
ePOWER LiFePo4 batteries are considered to be safe, non-flammable and non-hazardous by
international and federally regulated standards.
Q:
Can I use a lead-acid battery charger to charge the ePOWER B-TEC Lithium battery?
A:
Yes. HOWEVER, you must NOT use a lead-acid charger if it has an automatic “equalisation mode”,
which cannot be permanently turned off. A lead-acid charger that can be set to charge no higher
than 14.6v can be used for regular charging and then must be disconnected after the battery is fully
charged. DO NOT leave the lead-acid charger connected to maintain or store the battery, because
most will NOT maintain the proper voltage charge algorithm for lithium batteries and damage will
occur to the battery and this is not covered under warranty.
Ultimately, using a battery charger with a specific Lithium charge algorithm is the best option for
maximum performance and lifespan of the ePOWER battery.
