GETTING STARTED
Charging the Battery
The NAUTILUS
XP
utilizes two high-density lithium Ion Phosphate battery modules.
Each module contains a Battery Management System (BMS) that continuously protects
against over-temperature, over-charge, over- discharge, and over-current. Sensing of any of
these events will immediately shut down the system. The BMS also balances the battery cells
on each charge. To ensure the most production from your modules, an initial charge of
4 hours is needed.
•
Using the cap tool provided, unscrew the rear caps by inserting the tool into the
provided hole and turning the cap counter clockwise. Because there is a large
surface and two O-rings, there will be continuous tension on the cap.
•
Carefully set the cap aside ensuring that the o-rings stay clear of debris and dirt.
•
Disconnect the XT60 connector.
•
Repeat on the second tube.
•
Plug in the small lead from the batteries into the charger provided. The charger
can charge both batteries at the same time.
•
While charging, the indicator light on the charger will remain constant red.
Once charged, it will change to green. Waiting an additional 30-minutes after
green on the initial charge will balance the cells.
