User Guide
Charging:
Using the Amped Outdoors charger, connect the battery to the charger and
then plug in the AC cable into the wall outlet. The charging light will turn
blink red when charging and when the charge is complete, the light will turn
green. When the charge is complete, disconnect the charger from the wall
outlet as a float is not needed with ourb tteries. Our 36V Batteries requires
our 43.8v charger or may be charged with any other designed 43.8v LiFePO4
charger.
Connecting your battery:
With your source being turned off, connect your battery to you source.
Ensure that you have tight, solid connection and use the provided hardware
such as lock washers and washers if you have a battery with bolts. It is
highly encouraged to use dielectric grease on all connections to prevent any
corrosion from water exposure. Check your connections regularly along with
cables, connectors or other components to make sure they are free of
corrosion, wear and all connections remain tight.
Housing and mounting
Please ensure your battery is mounted or in the proper box before use.
Depending on your application, it is important to keep you battery from
moving around or being exposed to elements. Our batteries do not require
venting so a sealed case or enclosure will only help protect the battery.
Although our batteries have a superior water proof rating, it is encouraged
to keep your products free from elements to prevent buildup of water,
corrosion and debris. This will ensure your battery will look and perform
like new for the expected life of the product.
Long term battery storage
Never store your battery fully discharged. It is best to put a 50%to full
charge on your battery and then remove it from the charger. To ensure the best
performance from your batteries for many years, put a short charge or use your
battery at least once every 2-3 months. The best temperature to store a
lithium battery is between 40-80 degrees F. A cool and dry place is ideal. The
maximum discharge rate of our batteries would not exceed 3.5% per month in
storage. Do not place a lithium battery on a charger for extended periods of
time when not in use. Lithium batteries will last longer if not stored at a
100% charge rate for a long period of time
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a special charger?
A- Yes, our 36v batteries requires our 43.8V charger.
How to I store my battery?
A- Never store your battery fully discharged. It is best to put a 50% to
full charge on your battery and then remove it from the charger. To ensure the
best performance from your batteries for many years, put a short charge or use
your battery at least once every 2-3 months.
Can I lay my battery on its side?
A- Yes, all of our batteries can be mounted in any orientations long as you
secure them appropriately. Ensure that all terminal posts are free from all
metal to prevent a short circuit. We do recommend upright as the battery is
intended for stability.
Q. Do I need to discharge my battery before recharging?
A- No, it is advised that your charge your battery before each use. Lithium
batteries will not have a memory and even though it is safe to drain the
battery 100%, it is advised to drain lower depth of discharge.

Troubleshooting
Battery will not hold or accept a charge:
a. Lithium Batteries have a built in BMS (Battery Management system) that will
trigger when a battery is depleted or it is triggered into protection. The
voltage of the battery may read less than 10v. Our chargers will reset a BMS
to begin charging. b. If your battery is connected to our charger and will
not charge, disconnect the charger from the wall and battery. Let the charger
reset then plug it into the wall and back into the battery again.
Battery just stops:
- This is typical of a battery BMS (Battery Management System) being triggered. One of the following has happened: Depleted Capacity, Short Circuit, Over Current, Excessive Heat. You can reset the BMS by connecting to the proper charger. The BMS is built in to protect the battery and your components. Lithium batteries are very safe as long as they are used correctly. Please contact us if you have any questions on your applications. Do not crush, puncture or attempt dismantle the battery.
- Do not place the battery near an open flame and try to avoid direct heat.
- Do not dispose the battery in to the trash. Please find a local lithium recycler.
- Do not place the battery in fluids such as salt water, acid or alkaline.
- Do not short circuit the battery terminals.-Do only use the approved chargers.
- Never store the battery at a fully depleted state of charge.
