NOTE: A trickle charger is not necessary and should never be used
with your lithium ferrous battery.
NOTE: Lead acid chargers may charge at a higher or lower voltage
than recommended for Janus batteries. In some cases, your
battery may be damaged, and it will not reach 100% capacity as it
will with a lithium ferrous balancing charger.
WARNING: Do not charge the battery over 14.4 volts. Overcharging
the battery may cause cell damage and in extreme cases melt
down, rupture, or combustion. Lithium ferrous batteries will
recharge very quickly compared to a lead-acid batteries.
STORAGE
The lithium ferrous battery in your Janus will not discharge like a
traditional lead-acid battery, so unless you have a parasitic draw like an
alarm that draws energy from the battery when the switch is off, there
is no need to use a maintenance charger. It is important to note that
although your lithium ferrous battery may have more cranking amps
than the conventional lead acid battery, it may also have less amp/
hours and will be affected more dramatically by a parasitic draw.
If left static (nothing drawing from the battery) a lithium ferrous
battery will discharge at a rate of around approximately 10% per year.
COLD WEATHER
The lithium ferrous battery in your Janus will behave differently in
cold weather (below 32°F or 0°C) than traditional lead acid batteries.
A traditional lead-acid battery delivers maximum current at the first
initial draw and then degrades from there. Lithium ferrous batteries
actually get stronger with each successive draw. In cold weather your
lithium ferrous battery has the ability to generate its own internal heat
energy by putting a draw on the battery. In cold weather, the lithium
ferrous battery may need to have a draw put on the battery several
times before it is up to temperature and ready to deliver maximum
amperage. This lithium ferrous battery has been rated with an
operating environment of 0°F (-18°C) to 140°F (60°C).
DISCHARGE
Do not allow the battery to become discharged below 9.0 volts.
Excessive discharge from a parasitic draw or accidental discharge
may cause cell damage. If the battery is discharged below 9.0 volts,
recharge immediately.
Continued start-and-go riding or short trips can deplete the battery
and make electric start difficult. For this reason it is recommended to
regularly bring the motorcycle to full rpm’s for sustained periods to
allow the electrical system to maintain the battery.
