KICKASS KAJBLILID-L3 150Ah Lithium Power Station

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  • The total current draw from the battery must not exceed the maximum discharge rating of the battery. Should the maximum current draw be exceeded, the battery management system will trigger the over current protection mode.
  • The lid of the Power Station must remain shut at all times whilst charging.
  • Do not allow any conductive objects to fall into the battery box or enter any of the input / output ports.
  • Never insert anything other than a compatible electrical plug into any of the ports on the Power Station
  • Ensure that the Power Station has been correctly assembled and the screws are tight before powering any devices.
  • This Power Station is not suitable for jump starting vehicle batteries.
  • Ensure that the charger used is compatible with lithium batteries.
  • Do not use the battery for cranking/starting applications.
  • Do not allow the battery to sit in a discharged state ≤10.0 V.
  • Ensure the Power Station is installed away from major heat sources, high voltage, and avoid exposure to sunlight for long periods of time.

OVERVIEW

GETTING STARTED

Step 1: Install the battery cables onto the terminal posts of the battery.
Ensure the red cable is connected to the positive (+) terminal, the black cable connected to the negative (-) terminal.
Tighten firmly but be sure not to over tighten the battery terminals.
Connect the RJ45 data cable from the Power Station Lid to the Remote Display data port in the Power Station Base.

Step 2: Tuck cables in under the Power Station lid, lowering the lid carefully onto the box – ensuring the lid is correctly oriented.

Step 3: Install the 4 x bolts to fasten the lid to the base. Ensure that a spring, then a flat washer(provided) are used in the installation.

Step 4: Ensure Lithium is selected as the battery type. If it is not, select Lithium as the battery type on the DCDC charger by holding the MODE button for 5 seconds or until the battery type LED changes.
Continue to change the battery type until Lithium is selected.

Step 5: Once the Power Station is assembled, ensure the unit is completely charged prior to use. This can be achieved through the integrated DCDC charger, or an external ACDC charger. The Power Station should be charged until the battery charger reaches the FLOAT charging stage.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

MOUNTING TRAY (OPTIONAL)
Step 1: Confirm install location of tray, drilling any required holes.
Install the strap under the tray, sliding the strap into the slots on either side.
Ensure strap is oriented correctly so that the hooks face toward the Power Station when installed.
Securely affix the tray in position using bolts or screws, whichever is applicable.
Ensure that washers are used when installing the tray, to avoid damage.
Note : KickAss do not provide the screws or bolts for this installation.

Step 2: Ensure straps are laying outside the tray before lowering the battery box carefully onto the tray. Attach each strap hook to the corresponding slot in the Power Station.

Step 3: For ease of tightening, place thumbs in each strap loop, pushing firmly downwards. The strap should tighten and hold the Power Station firmly in place.
To release, depress the buckle and pull the strap to loosen.

Inverter Cables (Optional)
KickAss Inverter cables have been designed to allow you to easily connect a high powered inverter to the Power Station. When it comes to Inverter cables, there is no substitute for quality and these KickAss Inverter cables have been designed to work flawlessly and to provide a high current flow to your inverter.

SWITCH

The Master Switch
The Master Switch disconnects everything (except for the large 175 Amp Anderson style plug and the LCD screen) from the battery, including the DCDC Charger. Turning it off is a quick way to disconnect all devices to ensure your battery is not being drained.
Note : The DCDC Charger + Solar Regulator cannot charge the internal battery while the Master Switch is in the OFF position, neither can an externally connected charger.
Note : Only use this switch when placing the battery in storage and not attempting to charge.

LCD SCREEN

The KickAss Lithium Battery Box Monitor has a display and two buttons. The screen is used to monitor the state and condition of the battery. The display features the following:

  • Battery state of charge (SOC).
  • Instantaneous current flow, positive when charging, negative when discharging.
  • Battery pack voltage.
  • Battery temperature.
  • Remaining time to full/empty at the current rate of charge/discharge.
  • Total capacity of battery .
  • Mutable low battery alarm.
  • Battery capacity condition state (excellent, good, fair, bad).
  • Battery protection alarms.

Turning the screen on/off
The screen can be turned on/off by clicking Button B. To save power, the screen will turn off automatically after prolonged inactivity. To set the duration of the screen “On” time before turning off, hold Button B for five seconds until the SCREEN TIME menu appears. Navigate through the menu using the buttons. To confirm selection, wait 5 seconds for the home screen to return.

Switching between displays
The display can be switched between Page 1 and Page 2 by clicking Button A.

Low battery alarm & muting feature
A low battery alarm will sound when the battery’s state of charge falls below 10%. To mute the alarm, press and hold button A for 5 second or until the muted symbol displays on page 1 of the display. The alarm will stay muted for 8hrs or until the battery is charged sufficiently.
