IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Caution:
ŸDo NOT operate before reading user manual.
ŸDo NOT short circuit the battery terminals.
ŸDo NOT incinerate, crush, puncture, or disassemble.
ŸDo NOT discard in fire or expose to excessive heat.
ŸDo NOT overcharge or over-discharge.
ŸDo NOT immerse in any liquid.
ŸStore at a minimum capacity of 50%, recharge every 3 months.
ŸOnly use an approved battery charger.
ŸNot suitable for parallel or series connection.
ŸNot suitable for under bonnet fitment or cranking/starting applications.
ŸWarranty may be void if case is opened.
ŸKeep out of reach of children.
ŸWhen charging or discharging KickAss Lithium Batteries, ensure the total
charge or discharge current does not exceed the maximum specified - see
battery specifications table located on the battery and in this user manual.
ŸKeep metal object clear from all power in/output connection ports.
ŸOnly use compatible connector types when making connections to battery
power in/output ports.
ŸState Of Charge (SOC) Calibration: Before use, fully charge your battery until
the connected charger indicates the "Float" stage has been reached. Do not
remove the battery from charge when the battery reaches 100%. Continue to
charge the battery until the battery and charger have completed a full charge
cycle. This should occur a short time after the battery SOC states 100%.
ŸWhen not in use, the battery SOC% may lose synchronization over time if left
in storage for more than a few months. Before using your battery after
storage, complete a full charge cycle as explained above.
BEFORE USING YOUR BATTERY FOR THE FIRST TIME

Inverter Cables (Optional)
KickAss Inverter leads have been designed
to allow you to easily connect a high
powered load to the battery. The Inverter
Cables have been designed to work
flawlessly to provide high current flow to
your 1200W Inverter, and will also work
perfectly to connect other KA products like
the KickAss Control Hub.
Note:
ŸBe mindful when powering multiple
loads at the same time. The internal
BMS will allow a maximum of 100A to
be drawn from the battery at one time.
ŸDo not exceed a 1200W inverter load.
