Bioenno Power BLP-06150ML User manual

Thank you for purchasing the Bioenno Power BLP-06150ML LiFePO4 Battery
Introduction
LiFePO4 chemistry is an evolution in rechargeable battery technology. It is safer, non-toxic,
higher performing, and longer lasting compared to lead-acid batteries. Bioenno Power provides
the highest quality LiFePO4 battery from our ISO9001 certified production facility that guarantees
maximum performance. Please carefully review the information below as they are vital to the
safety and performance of the battery.

Caution
Do not disassemble.
Do not short circuit positive and negative terminals.
Use only LiFePO4 compatible chargers. Do not use Lead Acid battery chargers, especially ones
with “anti-sulfation” features
Do not submerge in water, the seal on the battery is not intended to withstand water pressure
Do not throw in fire or dispose of improperly. Recycle the battery at a facility that accepts lithium
battery

Instructions for Use
Charging
1. Only use 14.6V, LiFePO4 compatible chargers to charge the battery. The charging
current should be ~2A. If you need a charger, please contact us.
2. Fully charge the battery before first use. This depends on the output of the charger but is
typically between 6-10 hours.
3. If your battery came with a Bioenno Power charger, please note that the LED light on the
battery does NOT indicate the state of charge. A red LED light means the battery is
under constant current (CC) charging and green LED means constant voltage (CV)
charging. Always charge for at least 5 hours to ensure full capacity.
4. LiFePO4 does not suffer “memory effect” so please keep the battery fully charged for daily
use. Cell balancing only occurs when the battery is fully charged (top-end balancing).
5. Do not charge the battery in temperatures below 0°C. This can cause damage to the cells.
Maintenance and Storage
The battery requires no manual maintenance due to the included PCM/BMS. However, please
follow the below guideline for best life cycle.
1. Even though the LiFePO4 chemistry is relatively stable, protect the battery from shocks
and drops to prevent internal short circuit.
2. For long term storage, fully charge the battery and then discharge to 50% of the full
capacity. Do NOT leave the battery unattended for more than 6 months.
3. For the best life cycle, avoid using the battery in extreme temperatures and avoid highly
variable pulsing loads.
Troubleshooting
Since the battery can be used in many different configurations and equipment, we cannot provide a
general troubleshooting guide. Please contact us so a technician can provide you with individualized
support.
FAQ
Q. The terminals/connectors on the battery do not fit my application, what do I do?
A. You can change the terminal/connector to whatever type you need without voiding the warranty
so long as you do not open the battery or modify the casing.
Q. I have a universal lead acid charger with high charging current, can I use it instead?
A. Not recommended. Lead acid battery charges at 2.30V to 2.45V per cell whereas LiFePO4 needs
3.60V per cell. Your battery would be undercharged so you won’t get full capacity nor will
balancing be triggered, both of which are not desired. Furthermore, the floating charge of the
lead acid charger is not expected by the battery and can cause problems.
Q. Can I buy another of the same LiFePO4 battery to double the voltage or capacity?
A. Not recommended. Refer to the series and parallel connection section. You should always get a
single battery that meets your voltage and capacity requirement to avoid problems.
Q. How come the battery stops working a few seconds after a high current draw?
A. Make sure the load is not exceeding the rated continuous output current else the PCM shuts off
the battery after 2 sec. To reset, disconnect the load and attach the charger for a few seconds. If
you need more current output, please contact us for an exchange or a custom solution.
Q. I need more help with the battery I bought.
