IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1) SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
2) Do not throw away the box or any foam packing until after the installation is
complete.
CAUTIONS
a) Do not immerse in water.
b) Do not short terminals together.
c) Do not use or store the battery near sources of fire or heat.
d) Do not reverse the positive (+) or negative (-) terminals.
e) Do not put the battery into a fire or apply direct heat to it.
f) Do not pierce the battery casing.
g) Do not strike, throw, or subject the battery to severe physical shock.
h) Do not solder directly to the battery terminals.
i) Do not attempt to modify the battery in any way.
j) Do not place the battery in a microwave oven or pressurized container.
k) Do not use the battery if it gives off an odor or generates heat.
l) Do not allow charge voltage in excess of 14.8Volts.
m) The batteries optimal operating range is 0ºC (32ºF) to 45 ºC (113ºF). (See
Usage section, paragraph (f) for cold weather use.
n) Do NOT use lead-acid chargers which employ a high-voltage “anti-
sulfation” routine.
o) Keep batteries away from pets and children.
p) Fully discharge before disposal.
WARNING
a) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It
might spark or short-circuit battery or other electrical parts that may cause
explosion.
b) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and
watches when working with any battery. A battery can produce a short-
circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a
severe burn
.
c) To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those
published by the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in
vicinity of this battery. Review cautionary markings on these products and
on engine.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
a) Before installing your new battery there are first a couple of procedures to
perform.
b) The retail box contains a wire harness that will allow you to charge your
battery when not in use and also reset the battery if it should go into one
of the Battery Management System (BMS) fault modes.
c) If you do not install this harness you will not be able to reset the battery.
d) Use the supplied 3mm screw to attach the battery reset button terminal
ring to the top of the battery. The harness can exit either side of the
battery. Choose the side that best suits your configuration.
e) Carefully remove the existing lead-acid battery from your vehicle following
the manufacture’s guidelines.
f) Next place the original battery next to your Battery Tender® Lithium
battery to compare the variation in size. The original battery may be the
same width but is longer in length and taller in height. To make up the
difference apply the appropriate amount of the adhesive foam to either the
Lithium battery or the battery box.

g) Be sure the battery now fits surely in the battery box and allows the
battery cables to reach the battery terminals with no issues.
h) The Battery Tender® Lithium battery allows the vehicle cable eyelets to
be either connected from the top or front side of the terminals. Choose the
side that matches your configuration the best.
i) Use the supplied hardware to attach the vehicle terminal rings to your
battery. Do not over-tighten the screws. (See diagram above)
j) Once installed apply a good quality anti-corrosion spray to the terminals.
k) Reinstall the vehicles protective battery caps, and cover the unused
terminals with the supplied caps to ensure the battery cannot short
against any part of the vehicle.
l) Battery Tender® Lithium batteries are pre-charged to 70% of capacity and
must be charged before use.

Battery Management System (BMS)
All Battery Tender®Lithium batteries contain a BMS. A Battery Management
System (BMS) is any electronic system inside the battery that manages
a rechargeable battery (cell or battery pack), such as by protecting the battery
from operating outside its Safe Operating Area, monitoring its state,
calculating secondary data, reporting that data, controlling its environment,
authenticating it and / or balancing it.
The BMS will monitor the following conditions:
●Over Charge protection.
●Over Discharge protection.
●Over Current protection.
●Short circuit protection.
●Temperature protection – High and Low.
●Self discharging/non active mode.
NOTE:
If any of the above conditions occur the BMS will automatically
shut the battery down to prevent any damage to the battery.
●To activate the battery simply press the BATTERY RESET
BUTTON located at the end of the Quick Disconnect (QDC)
charging harness for ONE second.
USAGE
a) There are a couple of damaging conditions for any Lithium starter battery;
they include prolonged storage in high temperatures and allowing the
battery to be deeply discharged.
b) Compared to lead-acid batteries, the Battery Tender® Lithium battery has
less than 5% of the average self-discharge rate and can be stored for
much longer periods without maintenance.
c) If there is no current draw from your vehicle when your ignition is off the
Battery Tender® Lithium battery can be stored for one year without
damage.
d) For long term storage the ideal temperature is 15ºC (59ºF) 25ºC (77ºF).
e) The battery should be stored in a minimum charge state of 70%.
f) A lithium battery’s cranking performance decreases as its temperature
approaches freezing. Most vehicles will start normally on the first try in
temperatures down to 40°F. The battery BMS will turn the battery off
when temperatures approach freezing to protect the battery from damage.
To activate the battery simply press the RESET button located at the end
of the Quick Disconnect (QDC) charging harness for ONE second, then if
the engine fails to start on the first try, a load such as the headlights can
be used to warm the battery. The length of time it takes to warm the
battery depends on its temperature. The colder the weather, the longer it
will take to warm the battery sufficiently. Five minutes is a good rule of
thumb when the temperature is below freezing. Keeping the battery fully
charged will improve cold weather starting.

CHARGING
a) Do not use a desulphation or pulse charger, doing so will damage the
battery and void the warranty.
b) Standard lead-acid chargers may be used, as long as they do not exceed
14.8Volts during charging.
c) The use of a lithium specific charger such as the units in the Battery
Tender® Lithium Charger series is strongly recommended
d) Do not charge the battery in temperatures below -0ºC (32ºF).
