2.  Introduction

2.1.  Product description

The 

Epsilon 12V90Ah

 is a Lithium Iron Phosphate rechargeable battery. The unique 

combination of state-of-the art technology and smart software makes this Li-ion battery a 
robust, safe and easy to use energy storage solution. 

The Li-ion battery uses safe Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technology. With its integrated 
battery management system (BMS) the Li-ion battery is protected from deep discharging, 
overcharging and overheating. Eliminating the need for an external safety relay means the 
Li-ion battery is very easy to install. 

The Epsilon 12V90Ah Li-ion battery also has integrated battery monitoring which provides 
details about its status such as voltage, current, temperature, state of charge and time 
remaining. Hands-on monitoring is possible via Bluetooth, external monitoring devices and 
LED indicators inform you about the actual status of your Li-ion battery. 

2.2.  Intended use

The Epsilon 12V90Ah Li-ion battery serves as a energy source of 12V in power systems
for recreational vehicles, commercial vehicles, leisure boats, commercial vessels and
stationary applications. Potential applications of this Li-ion battery include: off grid power
supply, marine power supply, medium for (renewable) energy storage and (traction) battery
for vehicles.Use as a starter battery is not possible. Never install multiple Li-ion batteries 
in series. Up to 8 batteries can be connected in parallel to increase the total capacity up to 
720Ah. For more Li-ion batteries in parallel always consult with Super B.
