present at the terminals. To use the battery
it must be activated and switched on. Fig. 1
-
Ensure that the DIP switch 6 (1) is set to the on position (factory setting).
If other devices are connected to the battery via the BUS (4), ensure that DIP switch 5 is set to the on position (factory setting). -
Press and hold the On/Off switch (2) for 1 s.
The battery is active when the LED (3) lights up.
Shutting down
The battery can be switched off in four different ways:
- With the display button
- With the On/Off switch
- With the DIP switch 6

LED indications
Charging
When charging the battery with an external charger, observe the following guidelines:
- For best results use chargers intended for charging LiFePO4 batteries. If you do not have such a charger, you can use lead-acid battery chargers.
- The charger must not perform any desulfation action.
- When using a configurable charger set the contant current/constant voltage (CC/CV) option with the following values:
- Set the end of charge voltage to 14.4 V.
- Set the recommended maximum charging current for the battery.
- The maximum charging voltage should not ex-ceed 14.5 V. If the charging voltage is 14.7 V …16 V the internal battery management system (BMS) will limit the charge.
- If during charging the temperature raises above the permissible range, the internal battery management system (BMS) will limit the charge to preserve battery life.
- At the end of the charging the charger can be disconnected, be turned off, or kept connected at float voltage.
TLB100F, TLB120F and TLB150F: When the battery is being charged at temperatures below 0 °C, the cell heating system is activated. The cell heating system uses the charger’s energy to power itself. Once the ideal charging temperature is reached, the heating is switched off and the charging begins.
Discharge
The internal battery management system (BMS) protects the electronic system
and the battery cells. It supports a continuous current of 135 A. However, it
is possible to use higher currents for a limited time, in accordance with the
following values.
NOTICE! Damage hazard
- Do not discharge the battery outside the temperature range of – 20 °C …60 °C.
- If the voltage drops below 10.5 V ± 0.1 V, the battery generates an alarm and deactivates the terminals.
Storing
The battery is active and connected to the electrical sys-tem (e.g., of a vehicle):
- Before storing fully charge the battery with a recommended battery charger for 1 to 2 days.
- When the battery is not in use, ensure that the battery voltage does not drop below 12.6 V.
- While storing the battery recharge it completely every 30 days.
The battery is not connected to an electrical system (shelf storing):
- Before storing charge the battery fully or at least to 70 % using a recommended charger.
- When the battery is active (green LED flashing), recharge every 6 months.
- If the battery is automatically switched off due to a total discharge, it must be recharged as soon as possible, but at least within 7 days.
It is possible to keep the battery switched off (dip switches 5 and 6 in off position) for up to two years.
