1. Introduction
1.1. Product description
The Lithium Power Plus Baery is a Lithium Iron Phosphate rechargeable baery. The
unique combinaon of state-of-the art technology and smart soware makes this Lithium
baery a robust, safe and easy to use energy storage soluon.
The Lithium baery uses exceponally safe Lithium Iron phosphate (LiFePO4) technology.
With its integrated baery management system the Lithium baery is protected from deep
discharging, overcharging and overheang.
Cauon!External disconnect device is required!
1.2. Intended use
The Lithium Power Plus Baery serves as a energy source of 12V in power systems for
recreaonal vehicles, commercial vehicles, leisure boats, commercial vessels and staonary
applicaons. Potenal applicaons of this Lithium baery include: o grid power supply,
marine power supply, medium for (renewable) energy storage and (tracon) baery for ve-
hicles. Use as a starter baery is not possible. Up to 4 baeries can be connected in series
or in parallel to increase the total capacity up to 840/1360 Ah. For more baeries in series
or parallel always consult with WhisperPower.

Warning! The Lithium baery may only be used in condions specied in this manual.
Exposing the Lithium baery to condions outside the specied boundaries may lead to
serious damage to the product and/or the user.
Use the Lithium baery in a dry, clean, dust free, well venlated space. Do not expose the
Lithium baery to re or water or solvents.
When the Lithium baery is placed in an enclosed environment without air circulaon, it is
advised to provide 2 venlaon holes of 100mm x 100mm each. This helps to prevent the
heat built-up.
