2. Introduction
2.1. Product description
The Epsilon is a self-protected Lithium Iron Phosphate rechargeable battery. The unique
combination of state-of-the art technology and smart software makes this Li-ion battery a
robust, safe and easy to use energy storage solution. The Epsilon is available in a
12V100Ah
and 12V150Ah variant.
The Li-ion battery uses safe Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technology. With its integrated
battery management system (BMS) the Li-ion battery is protected from deep discharging,
overcharging and overheating. Eliminating the need for an external safety relay means the
Li-ion battery is very easy to install.
The Li-ion battery also has integrated battery monitoring which provides details about its
status such as voltage, current, temperature, state of charge and time remaining. Hands-on
monitoring is possible via the Be In Charge app, Be In Charge Software, CI-bus, external
monitoring devices and LED indicators inform you about the actual status of your Li-ion
battery.
The Li-ion battery can use the integrated heating to heat up, or keep the cells at a
temperature level to be able to charge the battery in sub-zero degrees environment
conditions. This ensures that the cells are used within their specifications enlengthening the
Li-ion batteries lifetime.
Under the Li-ion batteries protective lid easy to use connections such as configurable inputs
/ outputs, CAN and LIN connection, external heater power input and accessory power
connection can be found. All using standardized connections which makes it very easy to
install the Epsilon in the application.
2.2. Intended use
The Epsilon 12V100Ah/12V150Ah Li-ion battery serves as an energy source of 12V in power
systems for recreational vehicles, commercial vehicles, leisure boats, commercial vessels
and stationary applications. Potential applications of this Li-ion battery include: off grid
power supply, marine power supply, medium for (renewable) energy storage and (traction)
battery for vehicles. Use as a starter battery is not possible. Never install multiple Epsilon
Li-ion batteries in series. Up to 8 batteries can be connected in parallel to increase the total
capacity up to 800Ah or 1200Ah depending on the Epsilon variant.
