• Configuration Options

• Integrated Module Protection

TERMINOLOGY

This chapter discusses conﬁguring and operating 12 V LiFePO4 battery modules

using the following terminology:

Terminology Deﬁnition

Cell Refers to an individual LiFePO4 cell that is the basis

for the TI 12 V/110 battery module�

Module or Battery Module LiFePO4 battery module

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHARGE LIMITS AND TEMPERATURE

Due to the chemistry of lithium Ion cells, the cells cannot accept as much charge

current at lower temperatures without risking permanent loss of capacity� As the

cell’s temperature rises during the charging process, they can gradually accept hig-

her currents�

CHARGE RATE BY TEMPERATURE

Temperature (°C) Charge rate

-20~

-10 < 0,1 C

0~10 < 0,2 C

10~25 < 0,3 C

Maximum recommended continuous charge rate is 0,2 C�

INTEGRATED MODULE PROTECTION

The LiFePO4 battery module includes integrated protection circuitry to prevent the

battery module from exceeding its voltage limits� The module’s circuitry interrupts

either charging or discharging current if the battery is in danger of exceeding upper

or lower voltage or temperature limits�

Over Voltage and Under Voltage

The modules circuitry continuously monitors cell voltage and can interrupt either

charge or discharge current in the event that a cell’s voltage exceeds safe operating

limits� The over voltage and under voltage protection include software/hardware

protection�

Over voltage

MOSFET are used to control and will turn OFF and interrupt the charge current

when meet over voltage protection (The protection circuitry interrupts current if the

voltage on any single cell rises above 3�9 V�

For hardware protection: over voltage protection threshold is 3�9V, the over voltage

protection recovers when voltage drops to 3�6 V�

Under voltage

MOSFET are used to control and will turn OFF and interrupt the discharge current

when meet under voltage protection (The protection circuitry interrupts current if the

voltage on any single cell falls below 2�3V or 2�0 V

Hardware protection:

During discharging, when any cell’s voltage falls below 2�0 V, the discharge MOS-

FET turns OFF� Interrupt discharge current and under voltage protection will recover

when voltage reaches to 2�5 V�

Carbest LiFe PO4 Batterie| Battery 81238/81239

NOTE!

Under-voltage protection creates an open circuit, removing voltage from the termi-

nals� With a lead-acid battery, ﬁnding no voltage at the terminals often indicates the

battery has reached the end of its life� With the LifePo4 module, low voltage at the

terminals typically means the cell protection circuitry has interrupted current to pro-

tect the battery module� Simply connect the module to a charger to restore voltage

to the terminals�

OVER TEMPERATURE

A battery module has one temperature sensor to measure every cell bank’s tempe-

rature and one PCBA to measure MOSFET temperature�

• The ideal hardware over temperature protection threshold of cell is around +65°C

• The ideal hardware over temperature protection threshold of MOSFET is around

+85°C

During charging and discharging, when any cell banks temperature >60°C, software

over temperature protection appears, charge and discharges MOSFETS turn OFF�

When any cell banks temperature < 55°C, over temperature protection disappear,

charge and discharges MOSFETS turn ON again�

When any cell banks temperature > 65°C, hardware over temperature protection

appear, charge and discharge MOSFETS turn OFF� When the temperature decreases

to 55°C, the charge and discharge MOSFETS turn ON again�

BALANCING

Over time, the cells inside a battery pack diverge in both capacity and SOC� An

advantage of the module is the circuitry continuously monitors the capacity and

SOC of each individual cell and balances the battery module to ensure maximum

capacity�

TROUBLESHOOTING

The LiFePO4 battery module is an extremely reliable battery module that provides

greater useful life than comparable 12 V lead-acid batteries� Despite the high relia-

bility, you may encounter situations where the battery module does not operate as

expected� These situations are typically the result of misuse, abuse or a non-opti-

mal operating or storage environment� This chapter details potential issues you may

encounter with and the appropriate troubleshooting procedures�

CHARGER TRIPS USING CC & CV

Problem

chargers trips when charging the battery module� This is due to the low impedance

of the module creating a current inrush�

Solution

Reset the charger and try again�

TERMINAL VOLTAGE ABSENT OR LOW

Problem

Using a multi-meter to check terminal voltage shows the terminal voltage is low� Possi-

ble causes for this problem are:

• The voltage of a cell within the module dropped below 2�3 V, causing the micropro-

cessor to enable under-voltage protection�

• The module overheated, causing the microprocessor to enable over-temperature

protection�

Solution

To resolve situations where terminal voltage is absent or low:

1� Allow the battery to cool and then recheck terminal voltage�

2� Connect the battery to a charger to wake the battery and recover terminal voltage�

Depending on the module’s voltage and state of balance it may take up to 48 hours

to completely charge and balance the module�

BATTERY RAPIDLY DEPLETES ENERGY BETWEEN CHARGES

Problem

The battery module rapidly depletes its energy between charging� Possible causes

for this problem are:

• The battery pack is out-of-balance�

• The battery pack has reached the end of its useful service life�

Solution

To resolve situations where the battery rapidly depletes its energy between charges:

1� Use a CC & CV charger for 48 hours to balance the battery packs cells�

2� Replace the battery pack�

BATTERY CURRENT DISAPPEARS WHEN CHARGING

Problem

Battery current disappears when charging� Possible causes for this problem are:

• The battery overheated, enabling over-temperature protection�

• The battery pack is out-of-balance�

• Charger voltage is too high�

Solution

To resolve situations where current disappears when charging:

1� Allow the battery to cool�

2� Use a CC & CV charger for 48 hours to balance the battery packs cells�

3� Reduce charger voltage to 14�6 V or less�

VOLTAGE DROPS ABRUPTLY

Problem

Battery voltage appears constant, then drops abruptly�

Solution

This is normal for this product� Constant voltage throughout the batterys SOC ensu-

res maximum usable life� Once the voltage of a cell within the module drops below

2�3 V, the module‘s circuitry enables under-voltage protection, which creates an

open circuit

at the terminals�

exhaust and monitor the occupational exposure limit. Avoid generation of

aerosols.

8.2 Ingredients with occupational exposure limit values, if ingredients of the battery are set free:

General Limit for Dusts

- CAS No.: Not applicable.

- Exposure limit value: 1.25 mg/m3alveolar dust or alveolar aerosols

10 mg/m3inhalable dust or aerosols

- Short term limit value: 2 (II)

- Origin: AGW

- BLV: Aluminium: 50 Ög/g Creatinine in urine after long-term exposure and

after working shift

- Remarks: C (MAK-KOMMISSION, Germany)

- Exposure limit value: 0.3 mg/m3alveolar dust or alveolar aerosols, not obligatory

- Short term limit value: 2 (II)

- Origin: Recommendation of the MAK-KOMMISSION, Germany

-Note: Employment medical examination is to be initiated, if contact of

phosphate(1-), hexafluoro-, lithium (1:1) with skin cannot be

excluded (GESTIS).

There are special exposure limit values for aerosols or dust of

metallic nickel (0.006 mg/m3, TRGS 900, refer also to SECTION 3),

and of metallic aluminium (1.5 mg/m3, MAK-Kommission of

Germany, refer to GESTIS). This is only valid, if the metallic

ingredients of nickel or aluminium are processed (e.g. welded or

grinded) in a way that aerosols are generated.

SAFETY DATA SHEET

Safety Data Sheet according to Directive 1907/2006/EC, Article 31, Annex II, and TRGS 220 (Germany)

Product name: LiFePO4 Battery 12V/150Ah

Date of issue: 30 March, 2020

Date of last revision: Page 6/ 14

- Short term limit values: Exceeding factor X: Exposure may exceed the exposure

limit value by the factor X for not longer than 15 minutes. 4

measurements at intervals of 1 hour.

Exceeding factor =X=: Exposure must never exceed the

exposure limit value by more than the factor X (instantaneous

value).

(I): Category I: substances for which the exposure limit value

is based on local effects or sensitizing substances.

(II): Category II: substances effective by resorption.

- Remarks::H : Substances effective by resorption through skin

S = Sensitizing substance

Y, C (DFG): There is no teratogenic risk if the exposure limit value

and the BLV are maintained.

8.3 Personal Protection:

The following protection measures apply,if ingredients of the battery are set free:

Respiratory protection: Use respiratory protection apparatus or ventilated breathing hood.

Hand protection: If contact with hands cannot be avoided use protection gloves tested

according to DIN EN 374. Seek advice from manufacturers of

protection gloves. If gloves cannot be used for safety reasons (e. g.

while working at rotating machines) use skin-protective barrier

cream. Consult the company medical officer for the type of barrier

cream to be used.

Comment: In contrary to the European ordinance 1907/2006/EC

(REACH), it is not sufficient to specify only the protective glove

material. The break-through-times are dependent not only on the

material but also on the manufacturing technique. It is therefore

essential to consult the manufacturers of protective gloves. For the

ingredients of the battery the following materials should be

appropriate: for short-time contact (few minutes) rubber or plastic is

sufficient, for long-time contact use gloves of nitrile/latex rubber -

NBR (0.35 mm).

Eye protection: Safety glasses with side shield.

Skin protection: Use chemical resistant protective clothing if contamination of

clothing cannot be avoided. Change contaminated clothing

immediately.

General protective measures: Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not inhale aerosols or vapours.

Industrial hygiene: Wash hands or skin after contact immediately. Do not eat, drink,

smoke or take snuff at work.
