Thumper TLSL-100 User manual

IMPORTANT NOTE: Battery is supplied at 30% charge from the factory for safety compliance.
You must charge the battery before use for accurate readings to be achieved.
Owners Manual
Overview
These Thumper slimline lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4)
batteries are for situations where space is at a premium.
They measure just 75mm high and weigh less than 25kgs.
Each is fitted with 2 x 120A Anderson, wired as both
input and output for easy connection to your equipment
or solar charger
output. Each size unit utilises the same
battery management system
found in the standard
LiFePO4 battery series for safe operation at all times,
plus a handy voltage & capacity readout.
Warnings
This battery utlises LiFePO4 chemistry which is the safest
type of lithium chemistry for use in mobile vehicle applica-
tions. However you should adhere to the following
warnings:
• Avoid mechanical shock of the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to fire or open flame.
• Do not pierce the battery.
• Do not disassemble the battery or its housing.
• Do not drill into or modify the enclosure in any way.
• Do not expose to moisture or water ingress
• Do not store the battery below -20°c or above 60°C
Installation
This battery has been designed for permanent installation
in a car, caravan or 4WD as a portable power source for
connected appliances. The battery must be installed and af-
fixed to a surface using the mounting tabs on the housing to
prevent it from becoming a projectile in a vehicle accident.
The slimline design allows the battery to be mounted behind
or under a seat, into custom cabinets or on the internal walls
of your camper or caravan.
Ensure your installation location will provide adequate
ven
tilation (25mm clear space around the battery), taking
into consideration the operating discharge temperature
of the
TLSL-100 100Ah
TLSL-135 135Ah
battery. This battery is not suitable for installation in:
• Vehicle engine bay or a high heat environment.
• External/exposed locations where moisture is present.
• Inside compartments dedicated to carrying gas.
If in doubt we encourage you to engage a professional to
install the battery into your vehicles power system.
Once installed in a suitable location
the battery can be connected
using the dual 120A input output
terminals on the side of the battery
enclosure. You should use the
included connection cables for this
purpose as the mating connector is
not suitable for use with a genuine
grey Anderson 120 Amp
connector.
It does mate with a blue 120 connector, should you wish to
terminate your own cabling). The included cable is 16mm2
(4AWG) gauge and suitable for carrying the full discharge
rating of the battery. Ensure any connected wiring matches
this specification. It must be suitable for carrying up to 1ODA
current.
Note that there is no internal fuse protection on the
Anderson style output connections. For safety you MUST use
an external in-line fuse rated to 1ODA for each connection.
The BMS is designed for up to 1ODA continuous charge
and discharge. Please take this into consideration when
connecting your chosen method of charging and your
appliance loads.
Charging
LiFePO4 lithium batteries require slightly different charging
parameters compared to their lead acid counterparts. As
such you should use a AC charger, DC-DC charger or solar
regulator which features a LiFePO4 compatible mode. The

Recommended charging voltage for these batteries is
14.2-14.6V. The recommended charge current is 50A.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is not recommended to only
charge via a Voltage Sensitive Relay (VSR) with this
battery A VSR connected to an auxiliary lithium and
main lead acid battery will not operate correctly due to
the higher
cell voltage in the lithium battery A LiFePO4 compatible
DC to DC charger is a superior alternative and
recommended.
Battery Management System
This battery is fitted with an internal battery
management system or BMS. This internal circuit ensures
safer discharging and charging. The BMS is designed to
prevent over-voltage via overcharging, cell damage from
overdischarging and dangerous conditions such as short
circuits and excessive temperature.
LCD Readout
The front mounted LCD readout provides battery
capacity and voltage reading. To conserve energy the
display will switch off after a period of time. Press the
button underneath the display to activate the display.
System Configurations
This battery can be wired up to a maximum of 4 units in
series (12-48V), and in parallel there is no limit to the
number that may be used in a single system.
50 Amp Black Anderson
The 50 Amp Anderson fitted to the Thumper Slim line is
fitted to an internal 50 Amp automatic reset circuit
breaker. This outlet is wired as as bi-directional so may
be used as INLET or OUTLET.
Victron Smart Shunt (Optional fit)
These units are available with an internal Victron Smart
Shunt Battery monitor. The Victron smart shunt is fitted
internally within the Lithium pack and is designed to be
monitored via the Victron Connect app.

This is a FREE app available from your app store on your smart device. The Victron smart shunt is rated to 500 Amps in capacity and
will monitor all loads (both in and out) from the battery from all Anderson connectors (including the 2 x 120 Amp and 1 x 50 Amp
Anderson connector). The Victron smart shunt has been pre-set to the correct settings prior to purchase. There is no reason to
change any of these settings after purchase. For more information on the app, please refer to the Victron instruction manual.
