Battery Maintenance Guideline
The Xantrex Lithium-ion Battery 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 following 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.
Battery Storage Guidelines
In order to keep your Xantrex Lithium-ion Battery 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 5 Storage specifications
* 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
Battery
Maintenance and Storage Specifications
.
Storage and Maintenance
Instructions for Long Durations
1. Reduce the battery state-of-charge (SoC) to 50% ±10%
which is approximately .
2. Turn off the battery using the ON/OFF button.
3. Keep the battery in an environment according to
Battery
Maintenance and Storage Specifications
.
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.
