  • Capacity
    For a longer-lasting product, it is best to store your battery at a 50% charge level and recharge every three months if it is not going to be used for a long time.

CHARGING METHODS

THE VOLTAGE WHEN CHARGING & DISCHARGING
Based on the characteristics of Lithium Iron Phosphate {LiFePO4) batter- ies, the voltage measured by all LiFePO4 batteries during charging/dis- charging is not the real voltage of the battery. Therefore, after charging/discharging and disconnecting the battery from the power source, the voltage of the battery wil I gradually drop/increase to its real voltage.
If you need to test the real voltage of the battery, please disconnect all the connections to the battery and test its voltage after putting it aside for over 30 mins.

Tips When Testing The Battery Voltage by A Multimeter
(DPut the red probe (+) tightly on the positive terminal (not the post bolts), and the black probe (-) on the negative terminal.
®Do not touch the metal part of the probes with your hands during use.

Battery Charging Logic
The material characteristics of the Li FePO4 battery determine that its charging curve is obviously different from that of a lead-acid battery. Compared with a lead-acid battery, the LiFePO4 battery has a simpler charging process and mode. Therefore, it is recommended to select LiFePO4 for your charging mode.
If LiFePO4 mode is not available, please refer to the recommended parameters on Page 10 for setting.

LiFeP04 Battery Charging Mode

• CC (Constant Current} Phase (Tl)
  In the beginning, a discharged battery will be charged with a constant current and voltage will be climbing steadily until reaching the constant voltage setpoint which varies for different charging methods.

• CV (Constant Voltage} Phase (T2)
  The battery maintains a constant voltage during this phase while the current gradually decreases to 6A (0.02C) which is also known as tail current. At this point, the charging is cut off and the battery is fully charged.

SOLAR PANEL(S) & CONTROLLER

Solar Panel

• Recommend Power: >900W
• The battery can be fully charged in one day (with effective sunshine 4.Shrs/day) by 900W solar panels.
• It may take more than one day to fully charge the battery by 900W solar panels since the duration and intensity of light would be a great factor for their charging efficiency.

HOW TO ESTIMATE THE BATTERY CAPACITY

STATE OF CHARGE (SOC)
The battery capacity could be roughly estimated by its rest voltage (not charging/discharging voltage). As there are subtle differences in the voltage of each battery, the below parameters are for reference only.
Rest Voltage : The voltage needs to be tested at rest (with zero current) after 30 mins of disconnecting from the charger & loads.

SERIES/PARALLEL CONNECTION

THE PREMISE OF CONNECTION

To connect in series or/and parallel, batteries should meet the below conditions;

• identical batteries with the same battery capacity (Ah) and BMS (A);
• from the same brand (as lithium battery from different brands has their special BMS);
• purchased in near time (within one month).

LIMITATION FOR SERIES/PARALLEL CONNECTION

Support connecting up to 16 identical batteries for up to

• 4 in series as 48V (51.2V) battery system/
• 4 in parallel as 1200Ah battery system.

HOW TO CONNECT BATTERIES

Accessory Recommendation

• Battery-to-Battery Connection Cable: 2*6AWG Copper Cable
• Total Input & Output Connection: Adding two copper bars except for the cables. Step 1: Refer to Page 14-16 to finish your battery-to-battery connection.
  Step 2: Connect all the positive output cables of the batteries to one copper bar.

• If the positive(+) of the battery is connected to the negative(-) of other batteries (i.e. in series connection), the + cannot be connected to the copper bar, otherwise the battery system will fail to connect in series.)

• Step 3: Connect the O of the load to the copper bar.
  The cable gauge used in this step should be able to support the total input & output current of the entire battery system.

• Step 4: The = of the battery system and load are also connected to another copper bar following the above steps.

Step 1 Wear Insulating Gloves
Wear Insulating Gloves for protection before connecting. Please pay attention to operation safety in the process of connection.

Step 2 Voltage Balancing Before Connection
Below two steps are necessary to reduce the voltage difference between batteries and let the
battery system perform the best of it in series or/and in parallel.

• Fully charge the batteries separately (voltage at rest: >13.4V)
• Connect the batteries one by one in parallel, and leave them together for 12~24 hrs.
• They can then be connected in series or parallel.

Step 3 Battery-to-Battery Connection

Connect Batteries in Series

After series connection, the voltage of the battery system will be doubled according to the number of batteries you connect.
E.g. If two 12V 200Ah batteries are connected in series, the battery system will be 24V (25.6V) 200Ah.

Connect Batteries in Parallel
Refer to Page 11 for total input & output connection

After parallel connection, the capacity of the battery system will be doubled according to the number of batteries you connect.
E.g. If two 12V 200Ah batteries are connected in parallel, the battery system will be 12V (12.8V) 400Ah.

Connect Batteries Both in Series & Parallel Optimal Connection Method Recommendation

1. Connect the batteries in parallel
2. Connect the paralleled battery systems in series .

Connect the positive of battery to a copper bar and the of the load to the same copper bar. And then connect the negative of to another copper bar and the= of the load to the same copper bar.

Refer to Pagels for 2S2P, 2P4S battery system wiring diagram

As

Step 4 Rebalancing Every 6 Months
It is recommended to rebalance the battery voltage every six months following Step 2 on Page 13 if you’re connecting multiple batteries as a battery system, as there might be voltage differences after six months of the battery system
running.
