1.1.1 -Battery Management System
Every HLX+ battery contains a BMS that helps protect it from over voltage charging/discharging,
over current charging/discharging, and extreme temperatures while charging and discharging.
While this system is robust, batteries must be installed using appropriate inverter charge and
charge controller settings, devices to protect them from open photovoltaic (PV)/solar panel voltage,
and other high voltage charging sources. Failure to adhere to proper installation requirements will
void the warranty and may damage the system.
1.1.2 KiloVault iT, the Bluetooth Monitoring Mobile Applica-
tion
The KiloVault iT smartphone Bluetooth app enables you to view general information about the se-
lected individual battery. It can help troubleshoot when attempting to detect the cause of the battery
bank going off-line. The app is available for free download for both Android and iPhone phones.
Each battery is identified by a unique name assigned at the factory.
1.1.3 HLX+Bridge (Sold Separately)
The features the HLX+ Bridge are:
1. Viewing information about your entire battery bank and individual batteries
2. Enable 4x4 bank configurations in cold climates.
3. Update the HLX+ firmware.
1.1.4 Heating System
The 1200 HLX+ heater is 64 W. The 2400 HLX+ heater is 96 W, and the 3600 HLX+ heater is 192
W. The heater is powered by charging current, not by the battery. The battery does not self-dis-
charge to warm itself.
In all of the batteries the heater starts at an internal temperature of 0°C (32°F) and stops at an
internal temperature of 5°C (41°F). At external temperatures below -30°C (-22°F), the heat dissipa-
tion is too great to bring the battery up to temp.
It will take about 1.5 to 2 hours to warm the battery from an internal temperature of -20°C (-4°F) to
5°C (41°F).
When the batteries are charging with solar, it might take a longer time, depending upon the charger
output.
