General information

Starter versus Deep Cycle batteries?
Starter batteries have high current cells and a Battery Management System(BMS) designed to handle the higher current required to start a vehicle or engine. Starter batteries deliver a large amount of current for only a short time and are not designed to be extended range energy storage devices. Deep Cycle Batteries have cells and a BMS designed for energy storage which requires a lower current, but they have a high capacity for a much longer run time. Also, “Starter” batteries use lithium-ion cells that have the ability to be fully charged and discharged and have long life with 100% Depth of Discharge (DOD). Most lead acid batteries experience significantly reduced cycle life if they are discharged more than 50%. In simple terms, a starter battery could be compared to a sprinter and a Deep Cycle battery would be a marathon runner. The two battery types are not interchangeable as the cell and BMS structures are different.

How long will my “Starter” battery last?
There are several factors that affect the life of a battery. Weather, temperature, recharge cycles, depth of discharge (DOD), discharge current, charging current, charging method, vibration and duration of static use can all have dramatic effects on battery life. A properly maintained Starter Battery should last roughly three times as long as a lead-acid battery used in similar conditions. Life expectancy is 8-10 years with normal use.

Battery Cycle Life
Battery manufacturers rate the cycle life of their batteries by comparing the level of discharge on the battery and the frequency of cycling. Higher battery discharge will result in a shorter cycle life. In reverse, a smaller discharge percentage will extend the expected cycle life of the battery as the battery will provide more charge/discharges. Lithiumhub estimates an average life cycle of its Starter Batteries at 3000 cycles with average use. As noted, life cycles will vary based on use parameters and operating conditions.

Battery Disposal

Batteries must NEVER be disposed of in household waste. Battery recycling is encouraged, so take your battery to a certified recycling depot at the end of its life to reduce environmental impacts. Always discharge the battery before disposal, and use electrical tape or another approved covering over the battery connection points to prevent short circuits. Dispose of the battery in accordance with local, state and federal laws and regulations. Batteries may be returned to the manufacturer if proper shipping regulations are followed. USA & Canada: Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries are subject to disposal and recycling regulations that vary by country and region. Always check and follow your applicable regulations before disposing of any battery. Contact the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (www.rbrc.org) for USA and Canada, or your local battery recycling organization. EC: Waste must be disposed of in accordance with relevant EC Directives and national, regional and local environmental control regulations. For disposal within the EC, the appropriate code according to the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) should be used. Other: Many countries prohibit the disposal of waste electronic equipment in standard waste receptacles. Note: The battery should be transported in <30% SOC.

State of Charge (SOC)

SOC (State of Charge) indicates approximately how much battery life remains on your Ionic Starter battery, based on the voltage reading.

Battery installation

Be sure to turn off all electrical components before wiring.

Ionic Starter Batteries are equipped with connection terminals tailored for the most common use of each battery size and power rating. Each battery has 4 posts for convenience.
Use an insulated wrench and do not over torque any screw connections.
Connect the positive red wires to the positive (+) battery terminals and connect the black wires to the negative (-) battery terminals.
If using flat washers, it is very important to ensure the battery cable lug connection is contacting the base surface of the terminal, and the washer is placed on top of the battery cable lug. Do not place washer between the battery terminal and the battery wire, which creates high resistance and can cause terminal meltdown. It is important that fasteners be tightened to the appropriate torque for each terminal type.

NOTICE: Battery Protection Circuit and “sleep” Mode
Your Ionic battery has a protection circuit that will attempt to put the battery in “sleep mode” if you have an over/under voltage situation, have reversed the polarity or if your motor/device pulls too much
current(overload). Assuming the Battery Management System(BMS) was successful in protecting the battery and
it was not damaged, you may need to “wake up” the battery. (Note: The Battery Management System(BMS) may not be able to protect the battery from damage in all circumstances.) You can trigger the BMS to wake up the battery buy trying the following:

Try using a different power supply(charger). Some are better than others at triggering a wake-up.
Apply a small load like a low power light or appliance.
Wire the battery in parallel with a second battery – positive post to positive post, negative post to negative post.

Low Temperatures

Many battery users are unaware that lithium-ion batteries cannot be charged below 0°C (32°F). Although the pack appears to be charging normally, plating of metallic lithium can occur on the anode during a sub-freezing charge. This is permanent and cannot be removed with cycling. Batteries with lithium plating are also more vulnerable to failure if exposed to vibration or other stressful conditions. Lithium-ion batteries do warm up quickly with use as compared to lead-acid, so you may be able to get them above freezing with some use, allowing for a charge. It all depends on how cold of an environment you have, and caution is advised. Lithium-ion batteries capacity decreases when operating below freezing temperatures( 32F/ 0C). The current is still available, but the stored capacity will decrease. The colder the temperature the less capacity available. Both lead-acid and lithium-ion cells have increased internal resistance as the temperatures fall. Lithium batteries have more internal resistance in extreme cold temperatures of 0°F (-18°C) or lower, however, the batteries can be warmed up much quicker by simply putting a load on the battery, such as turning on your headlights for 15 to 30 seconds. Since Lithiumhub batteries have substantially lower mass than lead-acid batteries, they warm up much quicker.
