The battery cables should be sized to handle the expected load. Refer to NEC Table 310.15(B)16 for the maximum amperage based on
the cable gauge size. Cable lengths more than 6 feet may require heavier gauge wire to avoid unacceptable voltage drop. When
connecting multiple batteries in parallel to make larger battery banks, it is preferable for all parallel cables to be the same length.
For more information refer to the National Electrical Code for correct cable size, which can be located at www.nfpa.org
The battery circuit must be properly fused to handle the expected load and not to exceed the battery specifications.
After installation is complete, turn on the battery power by a short-press of the Power button. The LED indicator will illuminate to
confirm the battery’s powered on state.
DO NOT connect multiple batteries in series to get higher voltage as it will damage the internal BMS.
DO NOT attempt to disassemble the battery, as it could lead to permanent battery damage and will void your battery warranty.
First Power-up
The battery needs to be fully charged to 14.4V to condition the battery for use. Fully charging the battery calibrates the state-of-charge
percentage to be the most accurate and allows the cells to balance if necessary. The battery should be fully charged to 14.4V at least
once every 2 weeks.
Operation
Before powering on, ensure the battery terminals are insulated and any connected devices are properly fused.
Due to shipping laws and regulations, your battery may be received at a partial state-of-charge (typically 50%). The battery needs to
be fully charged before use. This is necessary to calibrate the state-of-charge meter.
Powering the Battery On The power button is located on the battery lid and/or on the remote accessory harness extension. To turn
the battery on, press the power button for one second. The power button status light will illuminate solid on to confirm the battery is
powered on and operating normally.
Powering the Battery Off Be sure to shut down any high amperage loads prior to turning the battery off. To turn the battery off,
press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. The power button status light will turn off to confirm that battery power is off.
Resetting Power after a Protection Event If the battery detects a fault then it may turn power off. The battery can then be reset by
pressing the power button for one second.
Discharging Discharging may be performed at any time the system is powered On. The NeverDie® feature allows the system to
have a “reserve” amount of energy left in the battery. Once the system is discharged to approximately 12.0V or 10% state-of-charge,
whichever comes first, power will be off to leave a “reserve” amount of energy still left in the battery. The battery will also disconnect
power if the voltage, amperage, or temperature limits are exceeded during discharging. To enable the remaining reserve energy of
the system, press the BMS power button for 1 second. Once the reserve range is enabled the battery should be charged as soon as
possible. See page 9 BMS Functions for further details.
WARNING - If the reserve energy is used and the battery module is left in a deeply discharged state without immediate charging, the
battery module may become permanently damaged.
