WARNING!
- Always wear safety glasses when working with any type of battery
- Do not short circuit the battery terminals
- Do not connect the battery terminals with reverse polarity
- Do not charge more than 1C or 175A max (C=amp hours of the battery pack)
- Do not continuously discharge more than 1C or 175A max (C=amp hours of the battery pack)
- Do not momentarily discharge more than 600A for 3 seconds
- Do not momentarily discharge more than 300A for 30 seconds
- Do not open the battery pack for any reason, there is a risk of electric shock.
- o not connect batteries in series to obtain a higher voltage pack.
- Do not connect more than 3 batteries in parallel
- Only parallel connect battery packs of identical voltage, capacity, and age
Storage
Charge at least every six months If storing unused for extended periods,
disconnect loads and store at 50% state of charge If storing unused for
extended periods, store at room temperature
Installation
Make sure the battery pack voltage is correct for the application.Do not connect with reverse polarity. Always secure battery pack in place with mounting strap or battery hold down kit Use only M8 or 5/16 ring terminals Torque terminal bolts to 150-155 in/ft – Do not over tighten If an inver ter or DC-DC voltage converter will be used, connect battery terminals prior to connecting an inverter or converter. Terminal arc damage is not covered under warranty.
Charging Method
The approved charging method for Eco Battery Lithium (LiFePo4) batteries is CC/CV (constant current/constant voltage). If your battery charger has an adjustable absorption setting, it should be set to 1 hour max. If your battery charger has an adjustable float setting, it should be set at 13.5V or off. Float charging above 13.5V will reduce the battery pack lifespan. Charging on a regular basis above the recommended charge rate will reduce the battery pack lifespan. Occasional charging at max rate will not significantly affect the lifespan of the battery pack.
