INTRODUCTION

3Lion is the innovative NDS battery, built with the reliable Lithium Ferro Phosphate 

Technology (LiFePO4) , which combined with the integrated BMS and 3Link system 
(BMS Manager), delivers the best performance for services due to the advanced energy 
system. 
Lithium technology provides significant advantages over traditional lead batteries (AGM, 
GEL, Free Acid). For example, it can withstand high charging currents, with a very high 
efficiency (or very low current dissipated during that phase), which implies a much better 
charging speed. It does not suffer from the typical sulfation of lead batteries, it has a very 
low self-discharge rate (less than 3%/month), which, combined with a 60% weight 
reduction and a large number of cycles (over 2500), guarantees more autonomy and 
remarkable savings in various areas.
The 3Lion 

 

 dialogues only with the  3Link, which becomes the heart of the energy system. 

All the positives of the vehicle's system: Engine Battery, 3Lion

 

battery and all electrical 

equipment, to not stress the electrical system, are connected to the 3Link which acts as a 
BMS manager. This allows a better charge management while driving by the alternator, 
achieving maximum current up to 75A (depending on the alternator), reducing charging 
times, and thus achieving greater autonomy during stops. Once the engine is turned off, the 
3Lion service battery is able, via the BMS manager ( 3Link ), to deliver current for all on 
board electrical equipment: lights, heating, coffee machines, etc ... The LiFePO4 
technology used for the 3Lion , unlike the traditional Li-Ion or LiPO, is extremely safe and 
reliable over time due to its special features. The BMS Manager ( 3Link ) dialogues with 
the touch screen display that shows all available information about the state of the battery, 
the charging system and on-board power consumption systems.
