Selecting a Battery Charger
Many types of lead acid chargers are compatible with our U1LiFePRO™ batteries and safely
charge between 0°C to 55°C (32°F to 131°F). The charger maximum voltage output should match
the maximum charge voltage of the battery system and should not exceed constant voltage as
shown in the table below. It is recommended to charge the battery prior to installation. Consult
with Inventus Power for recommendation on selecting a battery charger.
After the charger has been selected, first connect the (-) terminal to the battery, then the (+)
terminal. Once the terminals have been connected, connect the CAN communication to the
battery to optimize the charger performance (preferred chargers recommended by Inventus
Power).

Module Configuration
Warning: Do not connect batteries in series. Connecting in series exceeds the voltage limit of
the integrated safety protection circuitry and can damage the battery and void the warranty.
Parallel connections
Two or more batteries can be connected together in parallel to increase the capacity of the
battery system. The negative terminal of the first battery is connected via jumper cable to the
negative terminal of the second battery. Use another set of jumper cables with the same wire
gauge to connect the positive terminals of both batteries together. Connect a signal cable from
one signal port to another. This connection process can be repeated to up to the max scalability
or until the desired capacity is reached. Finally, use another set of power cables with the same
wire gauge to connect the positive terminal from the first battery and the negative terminal from
the last battery in the parallel chain to the host system. This will ensure proper balancing of the
system. See parallel connection diagram below.
Note: CAN lines in the battery pack DO NOT have internal termination resistance. It is
recommended to properly terminate the system and battery CAN Bus lines following the CAN
Bus termination standards. For any technical questions about properly adding termination
resistance, please contact technical support at [e-mail].

Maintenance and Storage
Maintenance Charging
U1LiFePRO™ batteries can be stored in an environment with temperatures between -20°C (-4°F)
and +60°C (140°F) and between 5% and 95% relative humidity, non-condensing. For long
storage periods it is recommended to check the battery SOC every 6 months. If batteries are
stored at 25°C (77°F), charge the battery every 9 months. For storage temperatures above 55°C
(131°F), charge the battery every 6 months. It is recommended to charge the batteries when SOC
falls below 10%. If longer storage time between charging is desired, place the battery into Shut-
down Mode.
