CONNECTING THE BATTERY
Install the battery cables onto the terminal posts of the battery. Ensure the red cable is
connected to the positive (+) terminal and black cable is connected to the negative (-)
terminal.
If connecting the Remote Display Unit to your KickAss Lithium Battery, connect the
black data dongle on the RDU to the black data connector on the battery.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
A key function of the BMS is to protect your battery by internally disconnecting the load
when the battery’s voltage drops below specific parameters, this will then result in the
battery entering into a “sleep” mode. (Load includes any accessories and/or device/s
drawing charge from the battery, Eg: fridges, pumps, food sealers, inverters, etc).
The charger used to charge the battery must be lithium compatible and be designed to
recover lithium batteries from a sleep mode. The KickAss Lithium Battery may be
charged in a number of ways:
Ÿ
Connecting to an alternator via a lithium compatible DCDC charger.
Ÿ
Connecting to a solar panel via a lithium compatible regulator/controller
Ÿ
Connecting to an AC power source via a 240V lithium compatible 12V charger
Note:
When charging the lithium battery, ensure the charger is located close to the
battery to avoid voltage drop. Failing to do this may result in the charger entering float
mode prior to the battery reaching 100% SOC.
CAUTION
• Do NOT short circuit the battery terminals.
• Do NOT incinerate, crush, puncture, or disassemble.
• Do NOT discard in fire or expose to excessive heat.
• Do NOT overcharge or over-discharge.
• Do NOT immerse in any liquid.
• Store at a minimum capacity of 50%, recharge
every 3 months.
• Only use approved battery charger.
• Not suitable for parallel or series connection.

STORING THE BATTERY
A lithium battery can be stored at any state of charge due to a very low rate of
discharge. It is recommended that if storing for long periods, the battery be charged to
100% before disconnecting the battery from all loads and chargers.
NOTE: The battery will not go into storage mode if:
Ÿ
There are loads connected to it
Ÿ
It is being charged
Ÿ
The RDU’s screen is turned on
Ÿ
It is communicating to App.
