INTELLI-GRID 12V LiFePO4
400Ah LITHIUM BATTERY
WARNING
- Do not charge beyond 14.6VDC continuously over 24 hours, or using a charger with automatic desulfation .
- Do not short-circuit or reverse polarity.
- Do not disassemble, deform or modify battery.
- Store in a cool, dry and well-ventillated area.
- Charge battery at least every 6 months or when the voltage drops below 12.8VDC.
- Ensure battery is fully discharged before proper disposal **.
P/No. LB400-HD**
FEATURES
- 300Amp high discharge current, ideal for powering 3000W inverters.
- Built in current shunt to provide accurate State of Charge (SOC), so there is no need to buy an additional current shunt.
- Top-mounted battery indicator.
- Battery switch (remote and local) to isolate the system in storage.
- Communication ports to talk to INTELLI-RV/INTELLI-GRID systems, displays/monitors or additional batteries.
- Lithium iron phosphate technology gives the advantage of high specific energy, long cycle life, high safety, low self-discharge and low weight (42.5kg).
- Mounting feet for easy installation.
- Built-in safety features including overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, high/low temperature and short circuit protection.
OPTIONAL REMOTE BATTERY MONITOR (SOLD SEPARATELY, P/NO. LBM-BT)
- Unlock your Projecta lithium battery’s full potential.
- Monitor state of charge (SOC%) on LCD display.
- Turn battery on/off remotely, handy when the battery is mounted in an obscure place.
- Alarm and fault indication.
- Bluetooth monitoring and control via smart phone.
- Simply connect to the battery, no extra current shunts required.
- Additional functionality and monitoring when used in conjunction with other INTELLI-RV/INTELLI-GRID components.
CONNECTING IN SERIES OR PARALLEL
- Ensure all batteries are fully charged before connecting in series or parallel.
- LB400-HD can be connected in series up to 4 batteries to create a 48V 400Ah setup, or in parallel up to 4 batteries to create a 12V 1600Ah setup.
- When connecting in parallel the discharge current can be added but a discharge ratio of 0.75 needs to be applied to give you the true continuous discharge current. For example 2 x LB400-HD in parallel will be 2 x 300Amp x 0.75 = 450Amps continuous discharge current.

STORAGE & MAINTENANCE
- To ensure a longer battery lifespan, recharge fully every 3-6 months.
- Ensure battery terminals and screw holes are clean and securely connected.
- If the load connected to battery won’t be used for extended periods, disconnect the battery from the load to prevent battery discharge and over-discharge or turn the battery off.
- Insulation and shockproof materials should be used to avoid sudden collisions or crushing during transportation.
