Thank you for choosing REMCO Lithium. Please take some time to read this User Guide to
ensure you understand how to safely connect and operate your REMCO Lithium Deep Cycle
battery. This guide covers the following battery models:
• RM12-75LFP
• RM12-100LFP
• RM12-130LFP
• RM12-200LFP
• RM12-120LFPSL
As with all batteries, you should consider the mechanical and environmental conditions
that you intend to operate the battery in to maximise overall performance and achieve the
longest battery life. Any damage caused by disregarding these guidelines may void your
warranty.
These are general guidelines; please seek our advice or that of a qualified electrical
tradesperson if you are in doubt.
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) is the safest form of lithium chemistry. However, a key
component of on-going safe battery operation is the integrated Battery Management
System (BMS).
2.1 Battery Management System (BMS)
The REMCO Lithium integrated BMS protects the battery from improper handling, monitors
and optimises performance to maximise lifetime and ensures safe operation based on a
wide range of internal and external conditions.
The integrated BMS provides protection from:
• Over / Under Voltage
• Overcurrent
• Short Circuit
• Over / Under temperature
• Cell Imbalance
A BMS is essential to avoid damaging the lithium batteries. When the system is not in use,
damage due to deep discharge can occur when small loads (such as alarm systems, relays,
standby current, etc) slowly discharge the battery.
Note: If you are unsure of a residual current draw, disconnect the battery using the battery
disconnect switch on your app or disconnect the positive terminal on the battery when the
system is not in use.
