XS Power Titan8 S5 User manual

You may mount the lithium battery in any orientation as long as it is secured
from short circuits and/or movement. This battery is very light and has a built
in mounting system that also includes the hardware to mount the battery. Do
not over tighten the included mounting screws. Observe the maximum torque
ratings on the battery labels.
This battery has many connection points, use caution when making
connections. There are: no low voltage disconnect, reverse polarity, or short
circuit protection on any of the connection points on this battery. Short
circuits will flow huge amounts of current instantly with the ability to melt or
vaporize metal. When connecting I/0 or larger cables make sure the other
ends are either connected securely to the proper terminals of a device or
securely covered with none conductive material to avoid accidental short
circuits.
Each battery comes with a mounting template that indicates the locations
of the mounting holes as well as where to drill holes to route cables. It is
recommended to do a “dry fit” of the batteries you will be mounting to make
sure there are no unforeseen problems before you start drilling holes into the
location you plan to mount your battery or battery array.
It is not recommended to mount these batteries inside the engine compart-
ment or close to any high temperature device, excessive heat will cause the
battery to prematurely age and will decrease cycle life. If it must be in a high
temperature environment make sure you use heat shielding or duct cool air
to the area around the battery. This product will preform best if the tempera-
ture of the installation environment is below 131º F (55º C).
This battery is specifically designed to be connected in series or parallel
with the included side bus plates. Only identical models should be connected
in this way. Do not attempt to connect these in parallel or series with other
types or voltages of batteries as damage and possible personal injury or
property damage may result.
Open circuit voltage should be around 12.8V for 12V, 15.4V for 14V, and
17.8V for 16V when fully charged after resting for 8 hours. If it is less than
this after resting for 8 hours, the battery should be taken out of service and
must be checked for capacity, cell balance, and state of health before
resuming operation.
Congratulations on your purchase of an XS Power Batteries lithium TITAN8 battery.
You have in your hand the cutting edge lithium battery made for extreme power or
extreme reserve applications.
Lithium cells hold, in general terms, three times the energy density of lead acid
batteries. However they need careful management to be safe and provide a long
service life. Fundamentally, they have serious risks associated with them and
these must be understood to avoid danger, loss of property, and personal injury.
Lithium batteries are not lead acid batteries. That seems to be stating the obvious
but for the majority of the people reading this instruction sheet, it is a significant
one. You are probably replacing a lead acid (flooded, maintenance free, or AGM)
battery with this new lithium battery. To get the most out of your new battery,
specific care and procedures are required. Read this sheet carefully so that you
fully understand what your new lithium battery can and cannot do.
Introduction
Proper Charging is Crucial!
Charge before initial use!
Be sure to read the Instruction Sheet for full instructions.
CAUTION! PLEASE READ!
Do Not Over-tighten Battery Terminals!
Proper Charging is crucial to the life of your XS Power TITAN8 battery. It is very important
that the temperature of the battery remains cool with respect to the charge voltage.

The Quick List
READ the battery label and do not exceed any of the ratings.
Do not over discharge this battery. Terminal voltage should at all times remain
above 9V(12V models), 10.8V(14V models) or 12.5V(16V models).
Disconnect when not in use.
Make sure you have the correct charger. Lithium batteries are voltage sensitive so
pay close attention to the max voltage rating.
Do not use an undersized battery for the job esp. in applications under -20oC(-4oF).
If the terminal voltage under-load drops below 9V (12V Models ), 10.8V ( 14V Models ),
or 12.6V ( 16V Models ) the battery is too small for the job. Stop and resolve this issue
before continuing.
Pulse loads by their very nature are a pseudo short circuit of the battery. This is fundamen-
tally destructive to the battery so each battery’s State of Health should be regularly checked.

Charging
Ty
pically the battery will ship at less than 100% State of Charge (SOC.) Please
charge
your new battery immediately upon receipt. It is important that you use a
lithium capable charger your batte
ry, and one that is rated for the correct voltage.
Lithium
batteries are by their very nature voltage sensitive. Further, the lithium
batte
ry is the most vulnerable to damage while charging. It is important that the
charging process of the batte
ry be fully understood and carefully controlled.
DO NOT use a battery charger designed for “Flooded” or “Maintenance Free” batteries.
DO NOT use a batte
ry charger with a “de-sulfation mode” or “float mode”.
Remove the battery charger once the battery is full meaning 100% State of
Charge.
Unlike lead acid batteries, over charging lithium batteries DOES NOT help
t
hem nor cause them to store more power. Instead it harms them and should be
s
trictly avoided.
Lithium cells are in a state of stress when at 100% SoC and beyond. Continuous
charging must be avoided.
Unlike most lithium batteries, TITAN8 batteries have a very high recharge rate and
can,
if a large enough charger is used, be charged to 100% SOC in approximately 5
m
inutes. Speed of charge will be determined by the output of the charger you are using.
If you discharge the battery beyond its recommended minimum voltage, it is not
recommended
to fast charge the battery. In this situation the best method to charge
t
he battery to keep it from being damaged is to charge it at 1 amp or less for and
extended period of time until 100% state of charge is reached.
Lithium batteries do not have a “memory effect” therefore they do not have
t
o be empty to benefit from re-charging. Simply recharge them when conve-
nient
and avoid overcharging. In general, float charging or battery maintaining
should
be avoided. However, since the chemistry is LT O, they can be used in a
system
that does constantly charge the battery to maintain a ~90% SOC without
damaging the batte
ry.
The charging and discharging behavior of a lithium batte
ry should be very predict-
able
and repeatable. Changes in behavior should be understood and not ignored.
Fo
r spot checking the batteries, use an accurate digital multimeter to measure the
voltage to at least two decimal places. (Analog type meters are not recommended.)
During charging and discharging the voltage should follow this patte

Do not attempt to open, disassemble, or service the battery pack.
Warnings
Warranty
More specifically this text applies:
This limited warranty shall not apply to damage to or failure of a product that results from: (i)
any
negligence other than by XS Power; (ii) accident (including, but not limited to, damage during shipment
and natural disasters); (iii) other circumstances beyond XS Powers’ control (including, but not
limited
to, normal capacity loss or increased resistance due to product aging); (iv) improper installation,
operation (including, but not limited to, abnormal or non-consumer use or use in an
environment
outside the recommended temperature range), maintenance, or storage (including, but not limited
to,
storage in an overly discharged state); or (v) any other damage directly or indirectly caused by
the
product’s owner, other third parties, or other products (including, but not limited to, misuse,
abuse,
overcharging, over-discharging, exceeding of the product’s limitations set forth in the product’s
specification sheet or label, neglect, physical damages caused by accidents or crashes, alterations, or
connection to poorly-grounded battery chargers). This limited warranty shall also not apply to defects
or non-conformities due to the manufacturing process discovered af
ter the expiration of the applicable
warranty period. This warranty does not extend to any damage caused by affixing any parts or
equipment not purchased from XS Power to the product and no warranties, either express or
implied,
are made with respect to equipment or products not produced by XS Power.
If the product is relocated
outside of the continental United States during the applicable warr
anty period, the product’s owner will
be responsible for any additional charges (including, but not limited to, shipping and other related
charges and expenses) incurred during the warranty process as a result of such relocation.
In general, the lithium battery will greatly outperform the lead acid battery it is
replacing. If it does not, chances are you have a battery that is too small for
the job. It may be necessary to use a larger capacity battery, or and a second
battery in parallel. Pulling the battery’s terminal voltage below 9V(12V
models), 10.8V(14V models), or 12.6V(16V models) for even the shortest
amount of time is prone for a premature failure.
Lithium batteries have a relatively flat discharge curve when compared to a
lead acid battery. The average terminal voltage throughout discharge will be
12.0V for 12V models, 14.4V for 14V models or 16.8V for 16V models.
Unfortunately, this can make judging the state of charge difficult when the
battery is nearly empty. Lithium batteries at a low state of charge will show a
relatively high voltage. It is important to get familiar with the limits of your
battery because over discharge (discharge below 9V for 12V models, 10.8V
for 14V models, or 12.6V for 16V models) must be strictly avoided.
