PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ur LBXXXX(MS) high performance battery series has been developed extensively over the past 6 years
for maximum performance, reliability and safety. Thanks to premium LITHIUMWERKS (R) lithium iron
phosphate battery cells in combination with our industry leading intelligent Battery Management System
(BMS), all LITE BLOX batteries are extremely reliable and oer an outstanding cycle life according to our
company maxim: quality before quantity!
We invented a groundbreaking,
patent pending housing concept
based on a carbon fiber-foam-
sandwich structure, scalable to
any form factor:
• extremely lightweight CFC
container
• shields the cells eectively
from shock (joggling &
bumps) and heat
• provide easy replacement of
the battery cells
• works as an ecient crash
barrier in case of an accident

2.2
INTENDED USE
ur LBXXXX(MS) series Li-ion battery is only to be used as a power source for starting combustion en-
gines, with a 12V 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 chapter 3).
The LBXXXX(MS) series battery has an integrated BMS, monitoring whether the LITE BLOX is being mis-
used 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 or LITEWERKS GmbH.
Never install or use a battery which appears to be damaged!
To prevent malfunction before first use, every LITE BLOX is being shipped deactivated from factory
(0V between the poles)!!

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 compart-
ment during use and that none of the connecting cables are being stretched or harmed.
4.3.2 CONNECTING WIRES
Use appropriate dimension and material for the connection wires to prevent overheating and voltage
drop. Make sure that all wires are connected safely & tight.
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 110/230V!
!WARNING!
Do not connect the (-) terminal first as this may lead to short circuits.
!WARNING!
Connect to 12V systems only. Never install multiple Li-Ion batteries.
!WARNING!
Avoid short circuit when using a wrench.
!WARNING!
Do not reverse connect the power cables (polarity).
