both a charge input on the LEFT side of the LCD and an estimated charge time appears. The
battery icon in the lower left side of the screen will blink, and the dial in the center of the screen
will blink as well to indicate charging. The estimated charge time will fluctuate as the power
input and output of the system changes in real-time.
Cell Balancing
The Kodiak X2 uses multi-cell lithium battery packs, which can become unbalanced after heavy
use or after going a long time between full charges. This means that one cell group is at a high-
er or lower state of charge (SoC) than the others. In order to resolve this imbalance, the battery
needs to be charged while the intelligent management system balances each cell group. The
Kodiak X2 employs a rapid cell balancing system to address the issue while it charges, but this
process can take several hours. You may see the SoC remain at ~99% for extended periods
until balancing finishes. You can still use the Kodiak X2 without charging up those last few per-
centage points, but you won’t get the max capacity until the system reaches 100%. Just give
your unit a full overnight charge every now and then to ensure the maximum charge capacity
is reached.
Charging for Long-Term Storage
If you intend to store your Kodiak X2 for an extended period of time, we strongly recommend
you check the state of charge once every three months. If the state of charge dips below 30%,
we recommend charging it to about 50% before putting it back into storage. The ideal battery
SoC range for long-term storage is 30 - 50%.
