Introduction
Manual Explains
BP series (V1.3) lithium iron phosphate battery is power module for backup system and
energy storage system. In backup power system, the main power provides energy for
equipment and charging the battery; when power off, battery provides energy. While in
energy storage system, battery charging or discharging can be managed by system,
users can choose energy from solar panel, main power or battery, it saves energy cost.

1Introduction
1.1 Introduction
BP series lithium iron phosphate battery are new energy storage products
developed and produced by Pylontech according to market demand, it can be used
to provide reliable power for various types of equipment and solar systems. BP
series are especially suitable for application scene of high temperature, limited
installation space, light load-bearing and long cycle life.
BP series has built-in BMS battery management system, which can manage and
monitor cell information including voltage, current and capacity. What’s more, BMS
can balance cells charging and discharging and extend cycle life. Multiple batteries
can be connected for larger capacity in parallel for longer duration backup
requirements.
1.2 Product Features
BP series product from Pylontech is using lithium iron phosphate as cathode
material, with BMS for effective management of cells. The module has following
characteristics:
New: Updated the MCU and AFE chips, has stronger anti short circuit and
reversed connection function. It will lower the fuse or MOSFET failure;
New: 1 group can maximum 16 batteries connected in;
New: More memory capacity, now it is 12288 records (before was only 4096
records).
The whole module is non-toxic, non-polluting and environmentally friendly;
Cathode material is made from LiFePO4 which has safety performance and long
cycle life;
Battery management system (BMS) has protection function for over-discharge,

2
over-charge, over-current and high/low temperature;
The system can automatically manage charge and discharge state and balance
current and voltage of each cell;
The centralized monitoring module is intelligent designed with three remote
functions of test, signal and control;
Flexible configuration achieved that several battery modules can be in parallel for
expanding capacity and backup duration;
Adopted self-cooling mode rapidly reduced system entire noise;
Battery has less self-discharge, without charge up to 10 months; no memory effect,
can be floating charge and discharge;
Working temperature range is from -10 ℃to 50 ℃, with excellent discharge
performance and cycle life in high temperature;
Small size and light weight, standard of 19-inch embedded designed module is
comfortable for installation and maintenance;

2.1.2 Equipment Front Interface Instruction
This section details the front panel of the interface functions.
Figure 2-1 Sketch of BP series Product Front Interface
Power Port (1)
Power cord connection: the same function of two power interface in parallel.
Each interface from top to bottom is anode and cathode. For each single cell,
any interface can achieve charging and discharging function.
Reset (2)
Shut down button: When the battery is in storage, transportation and other
non-using state, press the button to shutdown. If there is no external load or
external power supply for 10 hours, it will automatically shutdown.
Communication Interface (3, 4, 5, 6)
Dry Contact (DO).
RS232 port (No. 4, Figure 2-1): The interface is for the local network
management, but can also be the docking tube interface of network with ONU
equipment from ZTE.
