Do’s and Don’ts
This battery contains lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells. While LFP cells are the safest Li-Ion chemistry,
the stored chemical energy represents a risk of fire, burns or explosion if misused.
Avoid injury to yourself and others, adhere to the warnings in this Guide.

To ensure a long and safe life from your battery, please ensure you consider the following:
Ensure the battery is physically secure
Even though lithium batteries are light weight in comparison to lead acid, they can still become a
dangerous projectile in a moving vehicle, RV, cart or boat if not secured. Ensure the battery is safely
secured before travel. If in doubt seek Baintech advice and consider making use of Baintech mounting
brackets to safely secure the battery.
Do not penetrate the battery enclosure
You may be tempted to drill into the aluminium enclosure to secure mounting brackets. Doing so may
inadvertently penetrate one of the cells which could cause thermal runaway and vapour emissions.
Do not under any circumstances drill or penetrate the enclosure. Use only existing mounting holes in
the battery and short screw lengths no greater than 13mm.
We strongly recommend the Baintech mounting kit with screws and brackets that are designed to
safely attach to the battery. Alternatively, use strapping and clamping to secure the battery in place.
Maintain an acceptable temperature range
Like all batteries, Baintech batteries operate and perform the best, as well as last the longest, in a cool
and stable temperature environment of between 10
o
C and 25
o
C. The maximum window of full
operation is 0-45
o
C. Do not attempt to charge the battery below 0°C or above 45°C.
If you regularly discharge outside of this suggested range, you should consider changing the battery
location or actively cool or heat the environment in order to preserve battery life. If the ambient
temperature that the battery operates in is greater than 60
o
C, you should cease use immediately.
