4. Plug in charger to wall.
5. Turn the battery on (if required).
NOT ALL CHARGERS ARE CAPABLE OF
CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERIES!
During system design CONFIRM that your chosen
charger is not capable of transient spikes that
exceed the published MAXIMUM TERMINAL
RATINGS of the battery
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
High Temperature
Low Temperature
High Voltage
Low Voltage
Over Current
Low SOC
Storage
Systems should be stored out of direct sunlight under
the following temperature conditions:
Minimum Storage Temperature
Maximum Storage Temperature
System should be put into storage at 80% SOC and
checked monthly to ensure the system SOC (state of
charge) does not fall below 20%/ At 2-% SOC the
battery will self discharge in approximately 2 months
Stop discharge or charge
Leave the battery to cool
Stop discharge or charge
If charging, stop charge
Do not discharge the battery.
Any discharge current detected
will force the battery into Low
Voltage Fault
The user can charge the
battery in Low Voltage
Recovery
If no charge current is detected
within 2 minutes, the BMS will
turn off the battery
Reduce current
Stop discharge
Charge the battery

Service & Maintenance
Batteries should be carefully inspected on a regular
basis in order to detect and correct potential problems
before they can do harm. This routine should be started
when the batteries are first received.
Inspection
•
Look for cracks in the case
•
Check the battery, terminals and connections to
make sure they are clean, free of dirt, fluids and
corrosion
•
All battery cables and their connections should
be tight, intact, and NOT broken or frayed
•
Replace any damaged batteries
•
Replace any damaged cables
•
Check torque on terminal bolts.
