3 - Installation
3.1 - Before You Install Your Batteries
1. When gathering your tools for your installation, please make sure that you have a
digital multimeter with a 0.1 V accuracy. It will help you to verify battery polarity
before you make any connections. You can also use the multimeter to ensure that
your batteries are at the same voltage.
2. Please write down and save the serial numbers of your batteries along with the rest
of your system information. If you have already downloaded and installed the HLX iT
battery monitoring application, also write down and save the battery names.
3. Each battery
must
be commissioned by individually charging it to exactly 14.1 V
before placing it into operation with other batteries. Otherwise, the batteries will be
fully charged or fully discharged at different times and could cause a low voltage or
high voltage disconnect.
a. You will see 14.1 V while the battery is still on the charger and actively
charging. When charging is finished and the charger shuts off or the battery
is disconnected, the voltage will slump to 13.3 > 13.6 V. This is normal. The
battery is still fully charged.
b. Due to transportation regulations, lithium batteries cannot be shipped fully
charged. As a result, if you have purchased more than one battery for your
system all batteries must be fully charged to exactly 14.1 V before using.
c. Many automotive type battery chargers will not reach 14.1 V. Please check
charger specifications when selecting your charge. You can contact your
KiloVault® distributor for a list of recommended chargers. An acceptable
charger
i.
Must be a 12 V charger
ii.
Maximum charge voltage - 14.2 V
iii.
