Introduction
IMPORTANT
ON FIRST USE: Perform a full charge, discharge, and charge cycle to ensure
maximum battery life. For information, see the Battery Storage Guide (doc
number 975-1005-01-01).
Information from the battery is displayed in real-time through Bluetooth
wireless communication.
The BMS transmits monitoring data over the integrated Bluetooth interface,
allowing users to check the battery data on their mobile phones or tablets.
You may download the Xantrex Battery app from Google Play or the App Store.
The battery also features a 10% Reserve Voltage. This 10% reserve can be
activated by a single press of the Power button, if necessary.
Installation
NOTICE
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
- Do not connect multiple batteries in series. Parallel connection is permitted.
- The battery must be installed upright with the cable/terminal side up.
Failureto followtheseinstructionscan result in damage to equipment and may
void the warranty.
-
Check the battery for visible damage including cracks, dents, and deformations on the body. The top surface and the battery terminals must be clean, dry, and free of dirt and corrosion.
-
Make sure the 125Ah Battery is turned off. If the Power button LED is illuminated, press and hold the Power button for three seconds until the LED turns off.
-
Select and place the battery in a clean, cool, and dry location.
-
Prepare the following:
• terminal bolts sized M8 1.25x12mm (supplied)
• lock washers (supplied)
• flat washers (supplied)
• battery cables terminated with M8 (or 5/16”) cable ring lugs (do not use stainless steel lugs)
• DC fuse (100A, 32V) and fuse holder
WARNING
HAZARD OF FIRE
Use only stranded, copper wire rated 75°C minimum. Make sure battery connections are tightened to a torque of 106 in-lb (12 Nm) of force. Loose connections will overheat.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury. -
Attach the neg(–) battery cable to the neg(–) battery power terminal. See the illustration below for proper stacking of terminal connections. Torque terminal bolt to 106 in-lb (12 N-m).
-
Install a DC fuse and fuse holder on a short battery cable that will be used for the positive side of the DC circuit. The fuse must: (a) be as close to the pos(+) battery power terminal as possible; (b) be rated for DC circuits; (c) be a Class T fuse.
-
Attach the fused battery cable to the pos(+) battery power terminal. See the illustration below for proper stacking of terminal connections. Torque terminal bolt to 106 in-lb (12 N-m).
WARNING
HAZARD OF FIRE AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
• Do not place washers in between the battery’s power terminal and the battery cable’s ring lug. Doing so may cause excessive heating due to high resistance.
• Do not connect multiple batteries in series to get higher voltage as it will damage the internal BMS. Parallel connection is permitted.
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or equipment.
NOTICE
REVERSE POLARITY DAMAGE
Check cable polarity before making the final DC connection. Positive must be connected to positive; negative must be connected to negative. Reversing the positive and negative battery cables may damage the battery and void your warranty.
Failureto followtheseinstructionscan result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.-
Attach the pos(+) battery cable to the fused battery cable.
NOTE: When attaching more than one lug to each terminal, make sure at least 1/4” or 6mm of thread is available to secure the connection. Additionally, the ring terminal lugs need to be “clocked” in such a way that they do not interfere with their flat conducting surfaces. Acquire and use longer M8x1.25mm terminal bolts if necessary. -
Turn the battery on and verify the voltage on the DC bus is approximately 12VDC (nominal).
-
Power Button and LED Indicator
The Xantrex 125Ah Battery has an LED indicator integrated into the Power button on the unit itself.
Power button for On/Off/Alarm
- The LED is off when the unit is turned off and battery power is disabled.
- The LED is on when the unit is on and battery power is enabled.
| Battery State | LED Behavior |
|---|---|
| Battery is discharging. | Steady on |
| Battery is being charged. | Slowly blinking |
| Battery power is disabled. | Off |
| Low battery condition | Short flash |
| Alarm condition | Rapid flashing |
Remote Panel
The Xantrex 125Ah Battery has a remote panel port next to the Power button on the unit.
Remote Panel device
- Connects to a compatible battery or batteries.
- It is used to turn the battery on and off.
- It is equipped with LEDs that mimic the behavior of the LED on the battery.

Battery Charging
When the battery’s SoC is greater than 10% and while battery power is still
engaged, you may charge the battery by engaging power from the charging
source.
When SoC is less than 10% but greater than 3%, and the reserve shutdown event
has occurred, press the Power button on the unit. While battery power is
engaged, start charging the battery from the charging source.
NOTE: When charging, avoid using heavy loads to prevent prolonged
charging time. Also, avoid using heavy DC loads during charging to prevent the
system from transitioning to thermal protection mode.
To stop charging, disengage the power from any and all charging sources. Do
not turn off the unit to disconnect the battery while the system is charging.
IMPORTANT: Perform a weekly full charge cycle to bring the battery SoC to
100% to maintain accuracy.
NOTICE
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
-
Do not disconnect the battery while the system is charging.
-
Fully charge the battery and turn off the BMS when the system is not in use for less than a month.
Observe proper storage instructions from the battery manufacturer for long- term storage. -
Do not charge Lithium batteries in sub-freezing temperatures. They are not designed for it.
-
Do not charge Lithium batteries above 14.6V.
Failureto followtheseinstructionscan result in damage to equipment or battery.
