INTENDED USE
Our LBXXXX(MS) series Li-ion battery is only to be used as a power source
for starting combustion engines, whit a 1 V board net, backed by common
automotive alternators.
Therefore, it is not advised to use the battery in vehicles or systems where
the battery voltage, current or temperature exceeds the specified working
range (see 1.5).
The LBXXXX(MS) series battery has an integrated BMS, monitoring whether
the LITE BLOX is being misused or used outside of the intended working
space and may disconnect from the vehicles peripherals in order to protect
the Li-ion cells from permanent harm or damage (see 3.7).

UNBOXING
Carefully check your LITE BLOX battery for damages right after unpacking.
In case of damage or pre-use, contact your reseller / LITEWERKS.
Never install or use a battery which appears to be damaged!
To prevent malfunction before first use, every LITE BLOX is beeing shipped
deactivated from factory (0V between the poles)!
4.3
FIRST USE
1 Mount to the location of the OEM starter battery, using the integrated
bottom bracket plate, along with our vehicle specific adapters (see. 3.6)
Ensure both terminal are fastened properly (M6 = min. 10Nm)
3 Attach the vehicles pole clamps (first plus / second minus pole)
4 Make sure to cover the plus pole in order to avoid short circuits
5 Alle cables must be protected against vibrations, chafing & moisture
6 Before first cranking, activate your LITE BLOX by unlocking the I.K.O.S.
function using the remote smartphone APP (see 5.6)
4.3.1
PLACEMENT
Before it is used, the battery must be positioned in such a way that it will not move around in its
compartment during use and that none of the connecting cables are beeing stretched or harmed.
4.3.
CONNECTING WIRES
Use appropriate wire for the connection wires to prevent overheating and unnecessary losses.
4.3.3
CONNECTING CHARGER
disconnect minus cable (mass) before attaching the charger clamps to the battery terminals to
prevent malfunction (use appropriate charger LB100 / LB300 only and see charger manual).
First attach both pole clamps to the battery poles, then plug in charger to 110/ 00V!
!WARNING!
Do not connect the (-) terminal first
as this may lead to short circuits.
!WARNING!
Avoid short circuit when using a wrench
!WARNING!
Connect to 1 V systems only.
Never install multiple Li-Ion batteries.
!WARNING!
Do not reverse connect the power cables
(polarity).

CHARGING
1. Read the manual that comes along with your appropriate LITE BLOX charger
(LB100 / LB300)
. Make sure to recharge your LITE BLOX if the state of charge drops below 0%
(see Smartphone App), in case of an undervoltage shutdown and in case of
extended sitting periods with activated consumers (GPS, Alarm, Keyless-Go...)
3. Connect the charger to your LITE BLOX as described in 4.3.3
4. Never leave unattended during recharging process (recharging of the respective
LBXXXX model will take max. 1h/1,5h from 0% of charging when using our
LB300/LB100 charger)

5.3
INTELLIGENT BMS
In the following chapters the expression
‘deactivated’ will be used to describe the
switched o state of the LITE BLOX mean-
ing, that the internal connection of the bat-
tery terminals and the cell pack is inter-
rupted such that no current can be drawn
from it. Moreover the process when
switching from ‘deactivated’ to ‘activated’ is
referred to as ‘reactivation’.
5.3.1
I.K.O.S.
(Intelligent Kill Operation Switch)
oers the ability to deactivate the LITE
BLOX via the integrated power switch unit.
The control element for the manual cut o
is placed at the bottom of the main page of
the LITE BLOX remote APP. Please note,
that it may take a few seconds until the
switching process on is performed by the
BMS. The successful operation will then be
confirmed by a short beeping noise.
5.3.
A . V . A . T.
(Active Vehicle Anti Theft)
an integrated eective guard function, that
protects from car theft by automatically
deactivating the LITE BLOX in case of an
unauthorized starting attempt. With this
function being active, one can turn on
electric loads like headlights, radio or
interior lighting up to 00A. As soon as the
current drawn from the LITE BLOX exceeds
this threshold (e.g.
when starting the motor), the LITE BLOX
immediately deactivates itself before the
starter receives enough energy to start the
motor. In order to be able to draw a current
from the LITE BLOX after this event, it has to
be reactivated via the LITE BLOX Remote
app by pressing the ‘Reset Error’ button
(chapter 5.6.5).
5.3.3
SELF PROTECTION
the I.K.O.S. is also autonomously protecting
your LITE BLOX when leaving the intended
operating range (chapter 3) or being
misused (wrong charger, alternator
malfunction...). This self protection is
working on three levels:
1Warning (yellow): When the LITE
BLOX is in danger of leaving the in-
tended operating range, the first level is
active, indicated by the yellow coloured
values of the corresponding
parameters. If for example the LITE
BLOX suers from over-temperature,
the temperature value on the main
page of the LITE BLOX Remote app will
be displayed in yellow. There is no au-
tomatic deactivation on this level.
