Caution
DO NOT touch
any terminals or
connectors to avoid
electric shock.
ALWAYS wear
protective clothing
and eyeglasses
while working with
the Lithium Iron
Phosphate Battery.
Any uncoverd battery
material such as
electrolyte or powder
on the skin or in
the eyes must be
flushed out with
plenty of clean water
immediately. Seek
medical attention
afterwards. Spillages
on clothing should be
rinsed out with water.
Terminals of
the Lithium Iron
Phosphate Battery are
always live. DO NOT
place tools on them.
DO NOT short circuit
or use outside of the
specified electrical
ratings.
Safety Precautions
z
Please use circuit breakers, fuses, or disconnects that are appropriately sized by certified
electricians, licensed installers, or regional code authorities to protect all the electrical
equipment in your system. The battery contains a battery management system (BMS) that
protects the battery cells from over-charge, over-discharge, and over-current, however this
alone will not protect your system from severe electrical conditions.
z
Please verify the polarity before connecting wiring. Reverse polarity can and will destroy the
battery.
z
DO NOT short-circuit the battery terminals. Doing so can cause bursts in amperage and lead
to irreversible damage to the system and the battery (and possibly cause an explosion).
z
Please wear proper personal protective equipment when working on the battery.
z
Please ONLY connect identical batteries in parallel or in series to ensure the best battery
performance.
z
If the battery shuts off due to low state of charge, please disconnect the battery from your
equipment to eliminate parasitic loads and charge the battery as soon as possible.
z
It is highly recommended to pair the battery with low voltage disconnect devices in the
system setup.
Battery Installation
Safe and reliable installation requires trained and certified technicians. This section can only
serve as a guideline as all scenarios cannot be covered.
z
Step 1: Plant a mounting site.
For optimal battery performance, it is recommended to install the battery in a clean, cool, and
dry location, free from any accumulation of water, oil, or dirt. Accumulation of such materials
on the battery can lead to current leakage, self-discharge, and even short-circuiting.
z
Step 2: Wear protective clothing and eyeglasses.
z
Step 3: Check the battery.
Reverse polarity can and will destroy the battery. Use a multimeter to determine proper
