Charging
Before operating the charger make sure to read and
understand the instructions that come with the charger.
Never attempt to charge a battery without first
reviewing and understanding the instructions for the
charger being used.
Always make sure the chargers charging curve
meets the battery’s charging requirement; never
charge a visibly damaged battery; never charge a
frozen battery.
1. Open doors.
2. Turn off main breaker.
3. Plug in charger to wall.
4. Turn the battery on (if required).
NOT ALL CHARGERS ARE CAPABLE OF
CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERIES!
During system design CONFIRM that your chosen
charger is not capable of transient spikes that
exceed the published MAXIMUM TERMINAL
RATINGS of the battery
Storage
Systems should be stored out of direct sunlight under
the following temperature conditions:
System should be put into storage at 80% SOC and
checked monthly to ensure the system SOC (state of
charge) does not fall below 20%/ At 2-% SOC the
battery will self discharge in approximately 2 months
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
High Temperature
Stop discharge or charge
Leave the battery to cool
Low Temperature
Stop discharge or charge
High Voltage
If charging, stop charge
Low Voltage
Do not discharge the battery.
Any discharge current detected
will force the battery into Low
Voltage Fault
The user can charge the
battery in Low Voltage
Recovery
If no charge current is detected
within 2 minutes, the BMS will
turn off the battery
Over Current
Reduce current
Low SOC
Stop discharge
Charge the battery
Minimum Storage Temperature
-20°C / -4°F
