2.4.2 State of Charge (SOC) Gauge
The primary function of the SOC gauge is to display the amount of energy in the battery. When the battery is not charging,
the SOC gauge will be steadily illuminated and display the SOC of the battery. When charging, the SOC LEDs will
illuminate in sequence indicating it is charging. Once all six (6) lights are steadily illuminated, the pack is fully charged and
balanced. When the battery reaches 20% SOC, a beeper will sound notifying the operator the battery must be charged. If
pack use continues, the battery will beep again at 5% SOC and the BMS will cut power to the lift truck to protect the cells
in the battery. The battery must be charged immediately.
2.5 Temperature
Flux X48 batteries without the heater option have an operational ambient temperature range of 0°C / 32°F to 40
̊C / 104°F
when discharging. The BMS will prevent operation outside these temperatures, but a heater option is available for cold
storage and freezing weather applications. Batteries subjected to low temperatures (0°C / 32°F or lower) may experience
decreased performance if not equipped with the heater option.
2.6 Optional Heaters
The X48 battery can be equipped with integrated heaters that increase the low temperature performance. The battery can
be discharged in temperatures as low as -30°F / -34°C, and charged in temperatures as low as -10°F. The heaters will
keep the cells at a temperature of 40°F for optimal health and operation.
If the battery is left unattended in sub-zero temperatures, the heaters can discharge the battery within 72 hours. The BMS
will protect the battery from over discharge by turning off the heaters at 20% SOC and will remain off until the battery is
plugged in for charging.
2.7 Storage
Do not store the battery upside down or sideways. The electronics use a small amount of energy to manage the battery,
which limits the amount of time it can be stored. Make sure to charge your battery every 6 months while in storage mode.
If the battery is allowed to drain completely, it will damage the lithium-ion cells and void the warranty. It is recommended
the battery be left in storage mode when not in use or in equipment waiting for deployment.
Storage Mode
Always plug the battery in or place it in storage mode when not in use for extended periods of time. To place the battery in
storage mode, turn the battery OFF. Storage mode prevents the electronics from draining the battery and increases
storage time. It is recommended the battery be plugged in and fully charged every six months when being stored.
Batteries should be stored in temperatures above 0°C / 32°F.
3. Troubleshooting
3.1 No Power to Truck
If the truck does not have power with the battery switched to on, the battery may be at a low SOC. To wake the battery up:
1. Cycle power on the pack.
2. You should hear an audible click and power returned to the truck. Once powered on, charge pack immediately.
3. Plug the battery in. It may take up to five minutes for charging to begin.
