if

use 

BMS

 - 

if

Lithium 

batteries 

present 

few 

extra 

challenges 

due 

to 

the 

lithium 

safety 

BMS 

protocol 

in 

conflict 

with 

our 

safety 

protocol. 

I.e. 

if 

your 

lithium 

battery 

becomes 

suf

ficiently 

discharged 

then 

the 

battery 

will 

totally 

isolate 

your 

lithium 

battery 

ef

fectively 

removing 

it 

from 

the 

charging 

circuit 

and, 

as 

such, 

presenting 

our 

Pro 

Batt 

Ultra 

with 

0V

. This 

means 

our 

default 

safety 

system 

sees 

0V 

and 

will 

not 

start 

up 

due 

to 

our 

reverse 

polarity 

protection 

system. 

T

overcome 

this 

problem 

after 

installation 

simply 

remove 

our 

reverse 

polarity 

protection 

by 

pressing 

and 

holding 

the 

SETUP

 button 

for 

15-30 

seconds,
