HWE RK 12-100 LiFePO4 Battery
Product Information
The LiFePO4 BATTERY MANUAL is designed for the RK 12-100 model, which is a 12.8V 100AH lithium iron phosphate battery. It is important to read and understand the safety instructions before operating or modifying the battery installation. The battery should be installed by a qualified person.
WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – 12V 100Ah
- RISK of fire, explosion, and burns
- DANGEROUS for working in the vicinity of a lithium battery
- DO NOT short the battery terminals
- DO NOT expose the battery to temperatures beyond the published limits
- DO NOT attempt to disassemble the battery
- DO NOT crush or puncture the battery
- DO NOT put the battery in liquid
- DO NOT operate the battery beyond the published powers
NOTICE
- DO NOT use the battery for cranking/starting applications
- DO NOT dispose of in fire
- DO NOT install battery near heat sources, high voltage, and prolonged sun exposure
- DO NOT connect the positive and negative terminals directly
- DO NOT allow the battery to sit in a discharged state below 10.0V
- DO NOT mix our batteries with other chemistry batteries because they will not be compatible
WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – 12V 100Ah SPECIFICATION
The RK12-100 battery has a capacity of 100Ah (ampere-hours) or 1280.0Wh (watt- hours). It is made of ABS+PC material.
Connection Instructions
To create a 48V battery group using four batteries, follow these steps:
- Connect the negative pole of the first battery to the positive pole of the second battery.
- Connect the negative pole of the second battery to the positive pole of the third battery.
- Connect the negative pole of the third battery to the positive pole of the fourth battery.
Refer to the provided figure for visual guidance.
Note: The battery is suitable for 12V systems when used individually.
Note: Ensure proper grounding when connecting batteries.
WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – 12V 100Ah
This manual contains important safety instructions for the HWE lithium battery, DO NOT operate the battery or modify the installation unless you have read and understood it. We recommend the battery should install by a suitably qualified person
WARNING

DIMENSIONS
BATTERY GROUP
When assembling the batteries in Series or Parallel, make sure the voltage difference of each battery is under 0.3V, connecting the NEG- well first, then wire the POS+ following.
Parallel Connection
When connecting our lithium batteries in parallel, we recommend that the earth
connection make the opposite end of the battery bank to the positive. When the
batteries are wiring this way, the effects of resistance in the POS+ and NEG−
wires cancel each other, and both batteries receive an equal charge(support
≤4pcs batteries). Batteries install must be installed by a suitably qualified
person.
Series Connection
When you want to make a 48v battery group, you can connect the first battery
negative poles to the second battery positive poles refer to the
figure(support ≤4pcs batteries).
