Battery Storage Guidelines
In order to keep your Xantrex Lithium-ion Batteries at peak performance and at its
healthiest state, you have to store it according to proper storage conditions and also
maintain it with proper care.
Storage can be short term, such as less than one month or long term, such as more
than three months.

Table 1 For batteries with 883-prefix product numbers
* For long term duration storage the battery should be kept in a particular charged state such as, 13.2V, ~50% SoC, and stored at the
recommended storage specifications shown above.
Storage Instructions for Short Durations
1. Fully charge the battery.
2. Turn off the battery using the ON/OFF button.
3. Keep the battery in an environment according to
Storage and Maintenance Instructions for Long
Durations
1. Reduce the battery state-of-charge (SoC) to 50% ±10% which is approximately
13.2V for a 12V battery.
2. Turn off the battery using the ON/OFF button.
3. Keep the battery in an environment according to
4. Every three months maintain the battery by charging it to 100% SoC, then
discharging the battery to low voltage cutoff (LVC) level, then charging it back to
50% ±10% SoC.
NOTICE
RISK OF BATTERY DAMAGE
Do not charge the battery in ambient temperature below freezing.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in damage to the battery and may void the
warranty.
B
Battery Maintenance Guideline
The Xantrex Lithium-ion Batteries system is designed to require the least amount of
maintenance as possible. The battery and internal BMS are contained in a sealed
device and do not require disassembly for maintenance reasons.
In general, to properly maintain the battery, follow the storage guidelines in the previous
sections.
If the battery/ies are in regular use, then it is recommended that the battery/ies be fully
charged a minimum of once per two weeks in order for the BMS to recalibrate its State
of Charge (SoC) setting. This process also ensures that the SoC meter maintains its
accuracy.
