Q:
Can I use an Inverter on the ePOWER B-TEC Lithium Battery?
A:
Yes. You can use a small inverter with the ePOWER Lithium battery. A maximum 1000W inverter is
allowed. If a larger inverter is used, then possible damage to the internal BMS system can occur and
this will not be covered under warranty.
Q:
What is the recommended charge rate for maximum lifespan for the ePOWER Lithium Battery?
A:
Enerdrive recommends the following for maximum performance and lifespan for your ePOWER
B-TEC Battery:
• EPL-100BT-12V: Use a charge rate of ≤0.33C (33A)
• EPL-125BT-12V: Use a charge rate of ≤0.33C (40A)
• EPL-200BT-12V: Use a charge rate of ≤0.33C (66A).
Q:
Why is the battery capacity that shows in the app reducing?
A:
The amount of energy a battery can hold is measured in capacity. Capacity is the leading health
indicator that determines runtime and predicts end of battery life when low. The battery capacity
shown through the Smart Phone App is the overall maximum capacity available from the battery. As
the battery ages overtime, this figure will slowly reduce.
• EPL-100BT-12V: When the battery indicates 60% of its capacity (100Ah battery = 60Ah) the battery
is deemed “end of life”
• EPL-125BT-12V: When the battery indicates 60% of its capacity (125Ah battery = 75Ah) the battery is
deemed “end of life”
• EPL-200BT-12V: When the battery indicates 60% of its capacity (120Ah battery = 75Ah) the battery
is deemed “end of life”
Reaching end of life does not necessarily mean that a battery will no longer function; in fact, in many
cases it will still be usable, albeit in a diminished capacity.
Cycling is not the only cause of capacity loss; keeping a battery at elevated temperatures also induces
stress. A fully charged Li-ion kept at 40°C loses approximately 35% of its capacity in a year without
being used. Ultra-fast chargers and harsh heavy discharging is also harmful. This cuts battery life to
half, and Enerdrive can attest to this through our stringent testing regime.
Q:
Can I install the ePOWER B-TEC battery in a wet area?
A:
Not generally recommended, even though the battery does have an IP54 rating. Enerdrive
recommend installing the battery in a dry, well ventilated, cool space. Below is a brief explanation
of the IP rating.
IP 5# Dust Protected, Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity
to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment; complete protection against contact.
IP #4 Splashing water, Water splashing against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful
effect.
Q:
Can I install the ePOWER B-TEC battery laying on its side or end?
