4. The battery capacity can be monitored using the app. Charging time varies based on the initial state of
charge. For instance, if the battery's capacity is at 40% and assuming a charging current of 20A, the
estimated charging time would be approximately:
MLB-100 smart
MLB-120 smart
MLB-150 smart
MLB-200 smart
MLB-300 smart
MLB-100 LN5 smart
5. Avoid charging the battery pack in temperatures below 0°C. At -10°C, the protective mechanism activates,
rendering charging impossible. However, the battery can still be discharged or used at -20°C.
6. WARNING! Immediately stop the charging process if the battery becomes too hot during charging (> 45
°C).

Storage
1. When storing the battery for an extended period of time, charge it to approximately 50% capacity.
2. Store the battery in a dry and well-ventilated location.
3. Remember to disconnect the battery terminals.
4. Ensure to charge and discharge the battery at least once every 3 months:
•
Initially, discharge the battery to 0% capacity.
•
Next, charge the battery to 100% capacity.
•
Finally, discharge the battery to 50% capacity before storing it for the next 3 months.
Safety features
An essential part of the LiFePO4 battery is its Battery Management System (BMS). The BMS monitors the
battery cells for the following risks:
1. Too deep discharge: The BMS safeguards against cell failure by disconnecting the battery if the voltage
drops below 2.5V.
2. Overvoltage: To prevent overcharging, the BMS stops the charging process when cell voltage surpasses
3.65V.
3. Too high temperature: The BMS will turn off the battery if the system temperature exceeds safe limits.
4. Too low temperature: The BMS prevents the battery from being charged at temperatures below 0°C.
5. Short circuit: The BMS will turn off the battery in the event of terminal shorting.
6. Cell balancing: Because the cells are never 100% identical, the system maintains balance during discharging
and charging to prevent major voltage disparities.
7. Wireless monitoring: The battery has a built-in communication stick and an accompanying APP for data
retrieval via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections.
Charging time example (battery capacity 40%; charging current 20A)
60Ah needs to be charged: 60Ah / 20A + 1 hour, totalling about 4 hours
72Ah needs to be charged: 72Ah / 20A + 1 hour, totalling about 4.6 hours
90Ah needs to be charged: 90Ah / 20A + 1 hour, totalling about 5.5 hours
120Ah needs to be charged: 120Ah / 20A + 1 hour, totalling about 7 hours
180Ah needs to be charged: 180Ah / 20A + 1 hour, totalling about 10 hours
60Ah needs to be charged. 60Ah / 20A + 1 hour, totalling about 4 hours
