ECTIVE Lithium Batteries 25
TRANSPORTATION
The battery may only be transported in the original packaging or an appropriate
alternative packaging that fulfils the relevant requirements: The battery belongs to
category UN3480, class 9, packing group II and consequently it must be packed in
accordance with packing instruction P903 (transport by land or water: ADR, RID &
IMDG) or P965 (air transport: IATA).
The battery has been tested in accordance with the UN Manual of Tests and Crite-
ria, Part III, Subsection 38.3 (ST/SG/AC.10/11/Version 5).
BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (BMS)
All ECTIVE lithium batteries have an integrated battery management system (BMS).
This helps to conserve the battery, protect it from damage and extend its service
life. If a problem occurs, the BMS switches off the battery so that there is no longer
any voltage at the terminal connections. Once the problem has been rectified (e.g.
the connection to the load has been disconnected), the BMS automatically switches
the battery back on again.
Overload protection: Protection against excessive discharge currents
Deep discharge protection: Protection of the individual cells from deep discharge
Overvoltage protection: Protection of the cells against excessive charging voltage
Active cell balancing: Continuous equalisation of the cells at the same charge level
Charge control: Protection against faulty or unsafe charging
Temperature protection: Protects the battery from excessive temperatures
Short-circuit protection: Protection against short circuits
In the event of a deep discharge, the integrated BMS switches off automatically
to protect the battery from possible damage. To reactivate the BMS and thus the
battery, ideally use a charger for LiFePO
4
batteries. Battery chargers for lead batte-
ries that have a supply mode can also be used for this purpose. Alternatively, the
BMS can also be reactivated using a second battery connected in parallel.
