Starter Features
LITHIUMHUBBMS
LithiumHub’ s battery management
system (BMS) is inside each battery
case and uses high power MOSFETs
to turn OFF or ON the power from
the terminals instead of using bulky
solenoids. This allows for compact,
faster power switching with higher
solid-state reliability. LithiumHub’s
patent awarded MOSFET
configuration also allows for
enhance controls and protections
including reverse polarity, and
overheating protection.
Lithium Advantage
The obvious advantages are weight
savings, higher cycles and low self-
discharge rate versus old lead acid
technology. In addition, lithium-
ion Starter batteries do not require
ventilation like lead-acid batteries
as they do not vent explosive gasses
under normal use. Our batteries are
designed to replace flooded, AGM
and gel cell Lead-acid batteries
ǪualityEngineering
LithiumHub’ s innovation laboratory
prides itself on the design and
construction of its batteries using
the highest quality components in all
phases of design and construction.
The LithiumHub built-in intelligent
components guarantee the safety
and quality of each LithiumHub
product. Quad terminal configuration
and the ability to be mounted in
any direction making installation a
snap.

Power Status
Short press the Function Button to
display Battery Status Level.
Battery Level LOW - Low
Battery Level MID - Medium
Battery Level FUL –Full
To monitor the power percentage, use
the “Red Ionic Batteries” App.
Emergency
Start Function
The starter battery has a built- in Start
function that can be activated either by
long pressing the start button or with
the “Ionic Red Battery” app. Please start
engine right away when activated.
Low
Maintenance
No water to add and no acid to spill,
Lithiumhub Starter Batteries are ultra
low maintenance. Our batteries can be
installed in any orientation (upright or
sideways) due to no fluid in the
battery that could spill if the battery
is placed on its side or at an angle.
Great for Sports applications such as
Side by Sides, UTVs, ATVs, personal
watercraft, lawn mowers, commercial
mowers and more.

Manual

To Active the Starter Battery long press the Start Button on top of the Starter Battery or by tapping the Start Button in the
“Ionic Red Batteries” APP. When activating by long pressing the start button, the LED lights will start blinking rapidly,
indicating the engine is ready to start. When activating by the APP, open the APP, “Ionic Red Batteries”, and tap on the
circular “Start” button. The circular button will turn green indicating the engine is ready to start.
Once Activated, the Starter Battery will stay active until a discharge voltage of 13.6V is reached. The Starter Battery will stay
ON until the battery is fully discharged at ~10V and disconnects itself automatically from the vehicle battery system when the
battery voltage drops below 13.6V, keeping the Emergency Starter at full charge and preventing the Emergency Start from
discharging. An engine start attempt can be made during any time when the unit is active.
Any time a charging system is charging, such as from vehicle alternator the Starter Battery will turn ON to receive a charge.
The Emergency Starter disconnects itself automatically from the vehicle battery system when the battery voltage drops below
13.6V, keeping the Starter Battery at full charge and to prevent the it from discharging. If Starter Battery not used for 3
months, Bluetooth activations is not possible and would need to be reactivated by manually long press on the unit or with a
charging system.

•Charge level can be checked on the Starter Battery by short pressing
the Function Button.
•Exact charge level can be checked with the Ionic Red Batteries APP via
Bluetooth. (Download Ionic Red Batteries APP from either Apple Store
or Play Store. Turn on the APP and check if the APP connects to the
Starter Battery by pressing the ON and OFF icon button.)
•Long press the Function Button to turn on the Starter Battery to start
your engine.

When the time comes to
start your engine, open the
APP, “Ionic Red Batteries”.
Simply tap the circular
button on the APP to turn
ON the unit to start your
engine. The circular button
will turn green which will
allow you to start your
engine. The LED lights on
the Starter Battery will start
blinking rapidly, indicating
the Starter Battery is active
and ready to start the
engine. To turn OFF the
unit tap the circular push
button on the APP again.
The Starter Battery will stay active until a discharge voltage of 13.6V is reached. When activating the unit, tap the circular button
on the APP, the Starter Battery will stay ON until it is fully discharged at ~10V. An engine start attempt can be made during any
time when the unit is active. Any time a charging system is charging, such as from vehicle alternator, the Starter Battery will turn
ON to receive a charge. The Starter Battery disconnects itself automatically when the battery voltage drops below 13.6V, keeping
it at a full charge and to prevent it from discharging. If the Starter Battery is not used for 3 months, Bluetooth activations is not

Starter versus Deep Cycle batteries?
Starter batteries have high current cells and a Battery Management System(BMS) designed to handle the higher current required to
start a vehicle or engine. Starter batteries deliver a large amount of current for only a short time and are not designed to be extended
range energy storage devices. Deep Cycle Batteries have cells and a BMS designed for energy storage which requires a lower current,
but they have a high capacity for a much longer run time. Also, “Starter” batteries use lithium-ion cells that have the ability to be fully
charged and discharged and have long life with 100% Depth of Discharge (DOD). Most lead acid batteries experience significantly
reduced cycle life if they are discharged more than 50%. In simple terms, a starter battery could be compared to a sprinter and a
Deep Cycle battery would be a marathon runner. The two battery types are not interchangeable as the cell and BMS structures are
different.
How long will my “Starter” battery last?
There are several factors that affect the life of a battery. Weather, temperature, recharge cycles, depth of discharge (DOD),
discharge current, charging current, charging method, vibration and duration of static use can all have dramatic effects on battery
life. A properly maintained Starter Battery should last roughly three times as long as a lead-acid battery used in similar conditions.
Life expectancy is 8-10 years with normal use.
Battery Cycle Life
Battery manufacturers rate the cycle life of their batteries by comparing the level of discharge on the battery and the frequency of
cycling. Higher battery discharge will result in a shorter cycle life. In reverse, a smaller discharge percentage will extend the expected
cycle life of the battery as the battery will provide more charge/discharges. Lithiumhub estimates an average life cycle of its Starter
Batteries at 3000 cycles with average use. As noted, life cycles will vary based on use parameters and operating conditions.
