User Manual Product Manual
Connection and Installation
A. Please wear insulating gloves and use insulating tools for connection
and installation. The product is heavy and needs to be carried by two peoples,
and should avoid being severely dropped. The battery is dormant during
shipping and the voltage may be below 8V. The battery will wake up after 1
minute charging. During this time, the battery will suspend charging for 20
seconds for self-test.
B. The product needs to be installed away from flames, high temperatures,
severe cold, pools, and corrosive gases. If the product needs to be installed
on vehicles such as RVs, yachts, etc., it must be securely fixed. The product
is IP65 rated professional waterproof, please avoid prolonged water immersion.
C. Wires and terminals that meet the battery charging and discharging
current and power requirements should be used and firmly connected. If
multiple batteries need to be connected in series or in parallel to form a
group, please use cables of the same specification and length to connect them
to avoid unbalanced internal resistance and battery pack efficiency reduction.
See the attached table.
D. This type of battery supports 2~4 batteries in series, 2~8 batteries
in parallel, and 4 batteries in series to form a set of x 4 groups in
parallel. The batteries used for connection should be products of the same
model purchased at the same time. Each battery must be fully charged
separately prior to connection, with the voltage difference between the
batteries less than 0.5V. See the attached figure for connection method.
Charging
E. The operating temperature for charging of this battery is 32~140. If
it exceeds the temperature range, the built-in temperature protector of the
battery will automatically stop charging. When the temperature returns to
within the range, it will automatically resume charging. Note: The temperature
mentioned here refers to the temperature inside the battery, which is slightly
higher than the ambient temperature due to the heat generated during battery
operation. Batteries that are already in a temperature-protected state can be
restored by standing for a period of time in an environment of 40~120, which
may take up to 24 hours.
F. The charging voltage of a single battery ranges is DC 14.4~14.6V, with
the Max. Charging Current and the Max. Charging Power of the attached table
for a single battery charge. When the voltage, current or power exceeds the
safe range during charging, the battery will activate the protection function
and suspend charging. In this case, the battery needs to change to discharging
mode to automatically release the protection state. Connect multiple batteries
in series or in parallel, and the charging parameters are shown in the
attached table.
G. Charging with a certified charger with a DC voltage of 14.4V, a
current of less than the Max. Charging Current, or a power of less than the
Max. Charging Power of the attached table is recommended to improve battery
life.
Discharging
H. The operating temperature for discharging of this battery is -4~140.
Note: The temperature mentioned here refers to the temperature inside the
battery, which is slightly higher than the ambient temperature due to the heat
generated during battery operation. Batteries that are already in a
temperature-protected state can be restored by standing for a period of time
in an environment of 20~120, which may take up to 24 hours.
I. The discharging voltage of a single battery ranges from DC 10.8~13.8V,
with the Max. Discharging Current and the Max. Discharging Power of the
attached table. When the voltage, current or power exceeds the safe range
during discharging, the battery will activate the protection function and
suspend charging. In this case, the battery needs to change to charging mode
to automatically release the protection state. Connect multiple batteries in
series or in parallel, and the discharging parameters are shown in the
attached table.
J. Discharging with a certified inverter with a DC voltage of 12.8V and a
current of less than the Max. Discharging Current, or a power of less than the
Max. Discharging Power of the attached table is recommended to improve battery
life.
Maintenance
K. No special maintenance is usually required for our batteries, but a
dry indoor working environment of 60~95 will effectively increase the service
life of the battery.
L. The battery has a working life of 2500~4500 deep charge/discharge
cycles. Avoiding frequent use of maximum charge/discharge power can
effectively prolong the service life of the battery. Avoiding frequent
exhaustion of battery power can effectively prolong the service life of the
battery.
M. Some models of the battery use a patented self-healing technology. If
the efficiency of the battery pack is reduced due to the inability to balance
after long-term use, each battery can be individually charged with a small
current and slowly fully charged and then reconnected and combined, so that
the battery will automatically be restored to the best state at this time.
Monitoring APP
N. The battery has built in Bluetooth module. You can use VESTWOODS in
Apple APP Store or POW Bank in Google Play Store to monitor the battery
parameters.
O. When the battery capacity is lower than 20%, the battery will suspend
the work of the Bluetooth module. At this time, the APP will not be able to
connect to the battery.
P. When exiting the APP, please disconnect the Bluetooth connection with
the battery at first.
