see if there is load connected to it. If your load is not larger than this
minimum current then the battery will not stay on.
○ Consider connecting an additional small DC load to the batteries to
increase the current draw to over 250 mA. If you are using an inverter, it
is possible that it is going into its own standby mode and it is consuming
less than the minimum current required to keep the batteries on. Also,
for this case of the inverter, consider adding another small additional DC
load to increase the current draw to over 250 mA.

Can an HLX / CHLX battery be charged with an auto / RV alternator?
○ Yes, as long as the alternator provides less than 150 A of charging
current and does not exceed 14.0 V.
6.
What is the terminal mounting hardware size?
○ M8 x 1.25 x 16mm (Models shipped before 10/31/2018 will be M8 x
1.25 x 12mm)
7.
What are the recommended voltage settings for a generator?
○ We recommend a low-voltage start of 12.3V and a cut-off voltage of
13.9V (multiply those numbers by 2 for 24V and 4 for 48V systems).
8.
What voltage settings are recommended for an 80% depth of discharge?
○ We recommend an absorption voltage of 14.1 V, float voltage of ≈13.6 V
or lower (low enough to not trigger float when the battery "relaxes" after
charging stops) and a low voltage disconnect (for the inverter or DC load)
of 12.25V. Multiply those values by 2 for a 24V system and 4 for a 48V
system.
9.
Is there a special mobile application to connect to the batteries via
Bluetooth?
○ HAB iT, the KiloVault® mobile Bluetooth® application, enables you to view
general information about the selected individual battery. It can help
troubleshoot when attempting to detect the cause of the battery bank
going off-line. The app is available as a free download for both Android
and iOS devices on the iOS and Google Play app stores.
○ Your Android / iOS mobile device must support Bluetooth® 4.0 and
Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE). The iOS version requires iOS 10.0 or later
and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The Android version
requires Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) and up. Additionally, the Android version
must have permission to access both
Location
and
Local Storage
.
○ Please note that the app is provided as is to serve as a free
troubleshooting tool. Also, please be aware that a good voltmeter
provides a more accurate voltage reading than the Bluetooth application.
