INSTALLATION
Your Lithium LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Battery is designed for
single, series or parallel use. Only connect batteries of the
same type, model, capacity, and age.
This battery is not designed for, nor should it be tted into an
engine bay or other area subject to high heat.
To install your battery:
• Before making any electrical connections to or from your
battery, secure the battery in place. Fasten tightly and make
provisions for shock absorption if exposure to shock or
vibration is likely.
• Once secured in place, unscrew the metal nut from the
terminals with a spanner or adjustable wrench, red (+)
positive, and black (-) negative. Be careful not to short-
circuit the battery with any metal objects across the
terminals.
• Ensure the charging source
cables have M8 ring terminals
suitable size to match the
battery M8 terminals.
• NOTE: Do not place anything
such as a washer between the
battery terminal and the cables.
• Connect the charging and load
cables to the battery, red (+)
positive, and black (-) negative. Fastening the nut for each
tightly without excessive torque or over-tightening.
• It is good practice to ensure that the connections are re-
torqued and the batteries are cleaned periodically.

CYCLES VS LIFE
The lifespan of a Lithium LiFePO4 Deep Cycle battery is
directly related to how deep the battery is cycled each time.
A cycle is what percentage of the battery capacity is being
used each time, when discharging from fully charged to a
percentage Depth of Discharge (DOD) and then charging to
full again. The DOD describes the percentage of the battery
capacity used each time.
Check your battery specications for the expected life cycle.
