Warnings
• Keep battery away from exposure to heat, high voltage and direct sunlight.
• Never short circuit the positive and negative terminals.
• Never ship or store battery along with metal.
• Never disassemble the battery.
• Never knock, throw or impact the battery.
• Never throw the battery into water.
• Never install in under bonnet applications.
• Never install in a starting application
• Always use a charger with a Lithium profile and ensure that it
has been selected
• If using an inverter, ensure that it does not exceed the
specifications of the battery
Welcome to your new
Invicta Lithium LiFePO4 Battery.
Please read the instructions and warning on this
card carefully to ensure you get the most out of
your battery.
Tips
• If battery cuts out on low voltage immediately disconnect load
• A low voltage cut o device is strongly recommended and set to the
voltage as shown on page 3 of this manual
• If the battery goes below the over-discharge protection voltage (as
indicated on page 3) or the over-discharge protection is activiated, charge
battery within 15 days.
• Battery should be charged every 6 months.
• Ideal storage temperature -20oC – 35oC
• Do not leave battery in low state of charge for long periods of time.
• Keep battery away from high temperatures
• If battery shows signs of deformation, heat or emits smell, immediately
discontinue use.

Warranty
Invicta has a 7-year full replacement warranty when installed in
an approved application. Please refer to your warranty card or
invictalithium.com.au and register your battery to ensure your battery
is in an approved application. A copy of the warranty statement can be
found at www.invictalithium.com.au/warranty-statement/.
Charging
• Always use a battery charger with a lithium profile that does not
exceed the charging specifications of the battery
• Charger must not contain Sulphation/Equalisation setting. If so then
this needs to be turned o.
• The charging table below should be followed when charging
Battery Voltage 12V 24V 36V 48V
Max Charge Voltage 14.6V 29.2V 43.8V 58.4
Float Charge Voltage 13.8V 27.8V 41.4V 55.2
• Do not have batteries sit on float charge for an extended period of
time.
• Please ensure your charger is matched to the current rating of your
battery and take note of the recommended charge current in the
batteries specification sheet – Normally half the batteries rated
capacity. For example SNL12V100S – Recommended charge current
= 50A.
• We will only warrant the battery if a Lithium (LiFePO4) profile charger
has been used
• For specifications for your battery please visit invictalithium.com.au

Series and Parallel of batteries
There are strict conditions under which the Invicta Lithium Range can be
configured into Series OR Parallel systems. Please note these conditions below.
• Not all SNL batteries can be configured into a Series or parallel system.
Please note the part number of the battery. If the Part number contains an
“S” sux example SNL12V100S. Then this denotes that the battery can be
configured into a system of up to, but not exceeding 4 batteries in Series.
• If the part number does not end in an “S” for example SNL12V100BT, then
series configuration is strictly prohibited.
• All Invicta lithium batteries can be configured into a parallel configuration
up to 4 units in parallel under the conditions outlined in the following
pages.
Waking up battery from over-discharge
If the battery is over-discharged this will cause it to drop below its operational
voltage and the BMS will activate, putting the battery into protection mode.
To identify whether your battery is in protection mode you can check the
voltage using a multimeter, if the battery is below 5V then the BMS is in
protection mode. In Bluetooth models the mobile application can be used.
To wake the battery up use a charger with a lithium profile and an inbuilt wake
up function.
A low-voltage cut-o device is recommended and set to the below voltages
to avoid the battery going into protection mode. If you continue to experience
issues please contact out support team on 1300 001 772 or [email protected]
Battery Voltage 12V 24V 36V 48V
BMS Over-discharge Protection Voltage 10V 20V 30V 40V
Low-Voltage cut-o device setting 11V 22V 33V 44V

FIG 1
1. Ensure all batteries to be in the parallel configuration have been fully
charged individually by matched chargers.
2. Ensure OCV of each battery is less than
<0.2V of each other.
3. After charging, set aside and allow to rest for 8 hours.
4. Utilising wires of circumference large enough to carry required current
(>100A), connect the batteries in the above (Fig 1) configuration. Ensure all
connecting cables lengths are of the same length.
5. Be careful not reverse connect the Positive and Negative.
6. Ensure correct charge voltage and current is utilised for configuration.
7. It is absolutely prohibited to series a paralleled configuration.
8. Once in Parallel configuration ensure a full charge is completed a min of
every 3 months
10. Once in Parallel configuration, the system must be charged and discharged
as a system. If one batteries needs to be replaced, the whole system will
require replacing.

Series Configuration
1. Check Part number contains an “S” on end
to ensure the battery is suitable for Series configuration.
2. Ensure all batteries to be in the series
configuration have been fully charged individually by matched chargers
3. Ensure OCV of each battery is less than <0.2V of each other.
4. After charging, set aside and allow to rest for 8 hours.
5. Utilising wires of circumference large enough to carry required current
(>100A), connect the batteries in the above (Fig 2) configuration. Ensure
all connecting cables lengths are of the same length.
6. Be careful not reverse connect the Positive and Negative.
7. Ensure correct charge voltage and current is utilised for configuration:
B. Two batteries in Series – 29.2
C. Three Batteries in Series – 43.8V
D. Four Batteries in Series – 58.4V
8. It is absolutely prohibited to parallel a series configuration.
9. Once in Series configuration ensure a full charge is completed a min of
every 3months
10. Once in Series configuration, the system must be charged and discharged
as a system. If one batteries needs to be replaced, the whole system will
require replacing.
