• DO NOT attempt to disassemble the battery
• Do NOT crush or puncture the battery
• Do NOT submerse the battery in liquid
• Do NOT operate the battery beyond the published ratings

Doing so may result in damage to the battery, fire, explosion and ultimately burns. For this reason, it is of utmost importance that you follow the instructions when installing and using the battery.

CAUTION

1. The Battery should not be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised or have been instructedon how to use the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the Battery.
2. Do NOT alter or disassemble the Battery under any circumstances. Incorrect handling or reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire and may void the unit warranty.
3. Cable and fuse sizes are specified by various codes and standards which depend on the type of vehicle the Battery is installed into. Selecting the wrong cable or fuse size could result in harm to the installer or user and/or damage to the Battery or other equipment installed in the system. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the correct cable and fuse sizes are used when installing this Battery.
4. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine. This may cause the battery to explode.

NOTICE

1. Do NOT use the battery for cranking/starting applications
2. Do NOT connect the batteries in series to increase the overall voltage
3. Do NOT dispose of in fire
4. The battery must be installed away from major heat sources, high voltage, and avoid exposed sunlight for long periods of time
5. Do NOT connect the positive and negative terminals of battery together
6. Do NOT allow the battery to sit in a discharged state ≤10.0 V
7. Do NOT use unregulated non-lithium LiFePO4 battery chargers. Failure to install the correct battery charger will void all warranty
8. Do NOT mix lithium batteries with other types/chemistries or brands of batteries as they will not be compatible

USER GUIDE

REDARC Lithium Deep Cycle Batteries ship with a low state of charge and should be charged prior to first use. The batteries have a self-discharge rate of 3% per month @ 25°C. The battery should not be left for more than 30 days without checking its state of charge.

• Ensure that the battery is stored in a dry, clean, shaded and well-ventilated environment at a temperature range that does not exceed the published temperature range specifications
• Ensure all loads to the battery terminals are disconnected while the battery is in storage
• Keep the battery terminals clean at all times
• Ensure that the battery is free from damage from any force which may damage it, such as being dropped or being stored incorrectly
• Ensure that the battery is used in well-ventilated applications which does not place the battery at risk of exceeding its published charge and discharge temperature range specifications
• If shipping the batteries between locations, please check with local national and/or international authorities to ensure you are complying with transportation guidelines
• To dispose of the battery, please contact an authorised lithium battery recycling facility

PARALLEL CONNECTION

When connecting REDARC Lithium Deep Cycle Batteries in parallel, we recommend that the earth connection be made on the opposite end of the battery bank to the positive connection.

• When the batteries are wired this way, the effects of resistance in the POS+ and NEG− wires cancel each other out and both batteries receive a more equal charge
• This is to minimise the effects around unequal charge and discharge rates whereby older/traditional wiring methods result in the first battery receiving more charge and uneven discharge than the second battery.
• Make sure all cabling is not undersized for the
  battery system/charger and ensure the battery cables are connected to the terminals correctly. Batteries must be installed by a suitably qualified person.

SERIES CONNECTION

• Do not connect REDARC Lithium Deep Cycle Batteries in series. The BMS’s used in the batteries, if connected in series, are unable to operate due to voltage differences.
