INTRODUCTION
Lithium batteries are complex devices consisting of
lithium cells and control electronics called BMS (Battery
Management System).
The lithium cells used in these batteries are LiFePO4
(LFP).
The BMS carries out all and only the control functions to
keep the battery safe.
When the BMS detects internal parameters outside the
allowed limits, it blocks the operation of the battery.
It works again only when the alarm stops.
Attention:
• Keep the battery turned o during transport,
assembly and maintenance service.
• Transportation rules stipulate that the maximum
charge capacity during transportation must not
exceed 50%.
• It is strictily forbidden to connect batteries in series
and in parallel.
WARNINGS
•Before use, please carefully read the handling instructions
and the marks on the battery.Check the load is compatible
with the battery.
•During use, please far away from heat source, electrostatic place,
high voltage and avoid children to use. Don’t beat battery.
•Please use the special charger to charge the battery, and
don’t put the battery in the charger more than 24 hours.
•Do not make the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals short
circuit. Do not immerse in any liquid or damage it.
•Please store the battery well if don’t use in a long time.
Please keep the battery in half charge , that is to say don’t
charge fully and don’t discharge completely. Please avoid
to touch with metal to damage the battery. Please store the
battery in shade, cool and dry place.
•Do not put the battery into a re or water, and please safely
deal with the disuse battery.
•Don’t charge the battery in environments where the
temperature is over 50°C or lower than 5°.
•Don’t reverse the two electrodes when use the battery.
•Don’t penetrate the battery with sharp things.
•Do not disassemble the battery.
•Battery has usage cycle life, if its using time is quite little than
usual, please change your battery.
•Don’t weld the battery directly.
•Don’t use the battery with seriously scratch and distortion.
•Never connect the battery in series.
•Never connect in parallel with other batteries dierent from
the ZLI series battery and always check compatibility (always
contact the manufacturer rst).
•Please stop using if you nd the battery heat, smell odor,
change color, distort or other abnormal states.
•Please far away from the battery if you nd leakage. Touch
the battery only if properly protected.
•Please wash with clean water if the electrolyte leak on your
skin or clothes.
•If the battery leaks, and the electrolyte get into the eyes. Do
not wipe eyes, instead, rinse the eyes with clean water, and
immediately see a doctor.
•Store the battery with a maximum of 50% charge.
•When not in use, leave the battery with a maximum of 50% charge.
•Check the vehicle manual for lithium battery compatibility.
•Check if the absorptions involved are compatible with the
currents allowed by the battery (see data sheet).
•Do not cut the cables.
•ZENITH LITHIUM batteries fall under category UN3480,
lithium ion, 9, (E) and are certied according to the relevant
standards (see CE declaration of conformity). The customer
(user) is aware of the product he is using and is therefore
obliged to carefully read the technical characteristics given
on the data sheets as well as the user manual (instructions).
The customer is also obliged to take ALL the necessary
precautions for correct/compatible installation and use,
and to check that the environments in which they are used
are equipped with all the safety devices required by law, with
particular attention to re prevention solutions.
