Battery Charging
The charging device(s) connected to the Lithium Battery System must be programmed per the recommended charge settings below.
Using an improper charger or charge settings could result in undesirable battery performance and accelerated wear. The battery will
disconnect power if the voltage, amperage, or temperature limits are exceeded during charging. Please note that voltage rise during
bulk charge stage is very slow, followed by a fast voltage rise at the end of charge. Once charge is completed, the voltage drops down
to a resting level. This behavior is normal and should not cause any concerns.
A lithium iron phosphate (described as LFP or LiFePO4) charger or
charging profile is required for battery charging. The battery
charge voltage should be set to 14.4V, equalization and
temperature compensation must be disabled, and if the charger
supports float mode, set it to 13.4 - 13.6V. If you are not sure if
your charger is suitable for charging your battery, contact
Lithionics Battery® or your dealer to confirm charger
compatibility, or to purchase compatible charger.
NOTE:
Due to partial state-of-charge during storage and
shipping, the cells inside the battery may not be perfectly
balanced during the first few charge cycles. You may observe
some high voltage alerts and cell balancing status codes on
the Lithionics Battery® Monitor app, which indicate the
balancing process is in progress. This is perfectly normal
behavior and should not cause any concerns. After a few full
charge cycles the cells will balance out and these alerts will
disappear. There is no adverse effect on battery operation,
you may continue to use the battery normally during these
initial charge cycles.
Screen shots on the left show examples of status
codes related to cell balancing.
