Product Parameter Graph

Battery Management System

Our lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery pack includes an onboard digital battery management system (BMS). The BMS monitors voltage, current and temperature on both an individual cell and battery pack level. If any of these measurements deviate outside of their safe operating ranges, the BMS will actively work to correct the deviation. If the deviation cannot be corrected automatically, the BMS will initiate a self-protect shutdown by opening the internal contactor, disconnecting the battery from the charger and loads.

Overcurrent protection – If the charge or discharge current of the battery exceeds maximum permissible levels, the BMS will disconnect itself automatically. To recover from a high current shutdown, remove the load from the battery, and then rest the battery by turning the battery OFF and back ON.

Overcharge protection – If the battery’s voltage exceeds permissible levels the BMS will disconnect itself automatically. To recover from a high voltage shutdown, remove the charge source from the battery. The battery will automatically reconnect once the charge source has been removed and the battery’s voltage drops down to permissible levels.

Over discharge protection – If the battery’s voltage drops below permissible levels the BMS will disconnect itself automatically. To recover from a low voltage shutdown, remove the load from the battery. At this point the battery should be charged immediately. If the battery does not start on its’ own, you may need to put a charger on the battery. If the battery is so discharged that the Low Voltage Shutdown cannot be cleared, the battery must be returned for non-warranty service.

Short circuit protection – If the battery suffers from a short circuit, the BMS will automatically disconnect. The battery will resume normal operation after the short circuit is removed.

Temperature protection – If the battery’s temperature exceeds permissible levels the BMS will disconnect itself automatically. The battery will automatically reconnect once the temperature has returned to permissible levels.

Safety shutdown features on your inverter(s) and charger(s) should be the first line of protection against overcurrent or over voltage situations. Set your system’s max current, high battery cutoff (HBCO) and low battery cutoff (LBCO) according to the Charge / Discharge Parameters section of this manual. The Battery Management System’s Shutdown is designed as a last resort self- protect shutdown, and should not be relied upon for managing charge voltage or currents. Doing so will significantly shorten the battery’s life expectancy and could negatively impact your inverter(s) or charger(s).

BATTERY USE AND MAINTENANCE

Battery Storage

Storage temperature 0°C-40°C (Optimum storage temperature 15°C-25°C, low humidity). Battery performance is affected by temperature. Especially the change in battery capacity. This is a normal phenomenon. Avoid condensation caused by temperature changes during storage. Failure to do so can lead to corrosion, rust and internal battery failure.

Battery Check Before Use

• After receiving the battery, first check the packaging carefully. Make sure there has been no damage to the battery during shipment.
• Please check the battery exterior for any damage or leakage. If there is any damage or leaking, please contact your installer or distributor immediately.
• Make sure the battery voltage is within a normal range. Poor performance may occur due to poor wiring connections to the charger or the loads.

Battery Installation

• Please install the battery to ensure minimal dust, metal or other foreign materials. No smoking or fire during installation. Avoid a short-circuit of the battery to prevent equipment damage or personal injury.
• The battery should be installed in a well-ventilated space with no direct sunlight.
• Do not install where it could be submerged in water. The use and storage of the battery should be kept away from any flammable and explosive materials.
• After installation, clean the surface of battery with dry cloth. Please don’t use oil or other volatile organic solvents to clean or it may damage the case.
• Please make sure that the positive (+) & negative (-) polarity is correctly connected. Failure to wire correctly may cause a fire or damage the battery and electrical appliances.
• After installation, test the battery and equipment. Observe whether the equipment and battery are working correctly.

Battery Operating Requirements

• The charge and discharge current of the battery shall not exceed the specified maximum charge and discharge current. Current input or output beyond recommended levels may affect the lifespan of the battery, damage the internal circuitry, or even cause a dangerous situation.
• When the battery is in a low state of charge, it should be charged quickly. This helps prolong battery life. If the battery is not charged quickly from an extremely low state of charge, battery life will be affected.
• LIFEPO4 batteries prefer a shallow discharge and charge cycle. For longest life, a discharge of 20%, leaving 80% of the nominal capacity is recommended.

Battery Operation

• It is possible to over-discharge the battery if the battery is not used for long time. In order to prevent over-discharging, the battery shall be charged every 2 months to maintain a certain voltage range of13.32V-13.6V . For best life, a SOC/ capacity ralihration shall he performed. This ralihration method rharges the battery fully, then discharges slightly to prevent an a possible over-discharged state. Letting a battery sit for months without this procedure can lead to battery problems. Contact your installer or distributor for more information about this procedure.
• Don’t use organic solvents to clean the battery case.
• A battery is a consumable product with limited cycle life. Please replace it before the diminished capacity can’t meet the needs of the end user.
• In order to prevent failure of the overcharge protection board, do not charge for overly long periods of time. After the battery is fully charged, remove it from the charger. Only use acceptable battery chargers and operate the chargers according to proper voltages for recommended amounts of time. Failure to do so can damage the battery and possibly cause a potentially dangerous situation.
• A shallow charge and discharge of the battery ensures that the battery can be used optimally. Overcharge and over discharge may cause the battery to overheat, fire or failure, shorten life, or other possible dangerous situations.
• Battery switches, displays and USB ports are not considered warranty items. The battery can function fine without these items.
• Waste lithium batteries should be recycled and disposed in accordance with local laws.

Battery Troubleshooting

• Battery voltage is too low after being fully charged.
  Solution: Contact your installer or distributor.
