12V 100Ah
Version 1.1
BATTERY
SMART LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE
W/ SELF-HEATING FUNCTION
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT puncture, drop, crush, burn, penetrate, shake, or strike the battery.
DO NOT open, dismantle, or modify the battery.
DO NOT string the battery in series. Doing so can cause catastrophic failure.
ONLY connect batteries of the same manufacturer and model in parallel.
DO NOT discharge the battery at high temperatures above 140°F (60°C).
DO NOT exceed the maximum charge and discharge current to the battery.
Please avoid too high a voltage difference between paralleled batteries, despite the
auto-balancing function, to avoid triggering the over-current protection.
ONLY charge the battery with a battery charger or charge controller that is compatible with
lithium iron phosphate batteries.
It is recommended to pair the battery with low voltage disconnect devices in the system.
Please charge the battery at least once every 3~6 months for maintenance and to prevent
over-discharge. Long periods of storage can lead to deterioration of battery performance.
If the battery shuts off due to low state of charge (SoC), please disconnect the battery from
your equipment to eliminate potential parasitic loads and recharge the battery as soon as
possible. Failure to do so may cause irreversible damage to the battery.
Please keep the battery away from water, heat sources, sparks, and hazardous chemicals.
DO NOT short circuit the battery terminals. Doing so can cause current bursts and lead to
irreversible damage to the system and the battery.
Please verify the polarity before connecting wiring. Reversing polarity can and will destroy
the battery.
Please secure all cable connections to the proper specification in order to ensure good
contact between the cable lugs and the terminals. Over-tightening cable connections can
cause terminal breakage and loose cable connections can cause terminal meltdown or fire.
OPERATIONS
The included Activation Switch is used to switch the battery between active mode and shelf
mode.
The battery leaves the factory in shelf mode. To switch the battery to active mode, please
connect the Activation Switch to the RS485 UP Communication Port of the battery and press
the Power Button. The dim blue LED light on the Power Button will become bright blue to
indicate that the battery has been successfully switched to active mode. Please check the
battery voltage to validate an active battery.
Prior to long periods of storage, please disconnect the battery from the system, connect the
Activation Switch to the RS485 UP Communication Port of the battery, and long press the
Power Button for 3 seconds to switch the battery to shelf mode. The bright blue LED light on
the Power Button will become dim blue to indicate that the battery has been switched to
shelf mode. In shelf mode, the battery has a low self-discharge rate and can hold the charge
for a longer period of time.
The normal operation of the self-heating function requires a stable charge current greater
than 4A for each battery in the parallel battery bank. The self-heating function will start
operating automatically once the battery temperature drops below 41°F (5°C) and stop
operating automatically once the battery temperature rises above 50°F (10°C).

TROUBLESHOOTING
Please leave the battery in shelf mode during installation. DO NOT switch the battery to
active mode until making sure all the connections are correct and secure.
It is not recommended to connect more than 4 batteries in parallel if taking advantages of
the auto-balancing function.
Paralleled batteries can be switched to the active mode simultaneously by charging them or
using the Activation Switch on any battery. To switch paralleled batteries to shelf mode,
please disconnect them and use the Activation Switch to switch each battery to shelf mode.
It is not mandatory to connect the Activation Switch to the battery during operation or storage.
Please take the Activation Switch off after switching the battery mode and keep it properly.
The self-heating function will not be able to operate normally if a PWM charge controller or
a small current battery charger is used to charge the battery at low temperatures.
If the battery terminal voltage shows 0V in active mode, the battery internal fuses may have
blown due to severe over-current. Please contact us for assistance.
If the battery voltage gets too low to reliably power electric loads or triggers the battery
under-voltage protection, please disconnect the battery from electric loads and charge the
battery as soon as possible.
If the battery temperature gets too high/low during the operation and triggers the battery
high/low temperature protection, please disconnect the battery from the charging source
and electric loads and cool down/warm up the battery to room temperature. The battery will
automatically recover from the battery high/low temperature protection.
If too high a current passes through the battery and triggers the charge/discharge over-cur-
rent protection, please disconnect the battery from the charging source/electric load
immediately. The battery will automatically recover from the charge/discharge over-current
protection.

If the Activation Switch is not able to switch the battery to active mode or the battery resting
voltage is under 10V in active mode at room temperature, the battery may have been
severely over-discharged due to self-discharge or parasitic loads. Please revive the battery
using a battery charger or charge controller with the lithium battery activation function.
If the battery is short circuited and triggers the short circuit protection, please remove the
short circuit immediately and charge the battery with a current greater than 1A to recover
the battery from the short circuit protection.
