2. Safety Information and Precautions
Always adhere to safety guidelines to prevent damage to the battery and ensure personal safety. LiFePO4 batteries are generally safer than other lithium-ion chemistries, but proper handling is crucial.
- Do not use the battery as a starting battery for vehicles.
- Ensure all connections are secure and correct polarity is observed.
- Avoid short-circuiting the battery terminals.
- Do not disassemble, puncture, or modify the battery.
- Keep the battery away from heat sources, open flames, and flammable materials.
- Charge the battery only with a compatible LiFePO4 charger that has an activation function.
- Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures outside its operating range.
2.1 Enhanced Flame Retardant Safety
The battery casing is constructed from a premium fire-resistant material designed to suppress combustion. In the event of ignition, the housing actively works to extinguish visible flames within 30 seconds, minimizing fire spread and enhancing safety.

2.2 Battery Management System (BMS) Protection
The integrated BMS provides comprehensive protection for the battery, ensuring longevity and safe operation. This includes:
- Over-charge Protection: Prevents damage from excessive charging voltage.
- Over-discharge Protection: Protects cells from being discharged too low, extending battery life.
- Short-circuit Protection: Automatically disconnects the battery in case of a short circuit.
- Over-current Protection: Limits current flow to prevent damage from excessive loads.
- High-temperature Protection: Monitors internal temperature and prevents operation if it exceeds safe limits.
- Low-temperature Protection: Automatically pauses charging below 19.4°F (-7°C) and resumes above 32°F (0°C) to prevent damage. Discharging is cut off below -4°F (-20°C).

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Smart Bluetooth Control and App Monitoring
The battery is equipped with Bluetooth 5.1, allowing real-time monitoring of its status via the ECO-WORTHY App. This feature provides full transparency for managing and planning your power usage.
- Download the "ECO-WORTHY" App from Google Play Store (for Android) or Apple App Store (for iOS).
- Enable Bluetooth on your mobile device.
- Open the ECO-WORTHY App and follow the on-screen instructions to connect to your battery.
- Once connected, you can monitor parameters such as:
- Total Voltage
- Current
- Capacity (State of Charge - SOC)
- Remaining Battery Capacity
- Individual Cell Voltages
- Temperature
- Fault Warnings

5. Maintenance
LiFePO4 batteries require minimal maintenance compared to lead-acid batteries. Following these guidelines will ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Charging: Always use a dedicated LiFePO4 battery charger. For optimal results, pair with the ECO-WORTHY 12V/24V 20A Smart Battery Charger (ASIN: B0DYHGR9FR), which is designed to activate and recover LiFePO4 batteries from BMS protection mode.
- Storage: If storing the battery for an extended period, ensure it is charged to approximately 50% State of Charge (SOC) and stored in a cool, dry place. Recharge every 3-6 months to prevent deep discharge.
- Cleaning: Keep the battery terminals clean and free from corrosion. Use a dry cloth to wipe the battery casing.
- Lifespan: The battery is designed for a 10-year lifespan with over 15,000 cycles under ideal conditions.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ECO-WORTHY LiFePO4 battery, refer to the following common scenarios:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Battery shows 0V or does not charge. | BMS has entered protection mode due to deep discharge. | Use a LiFePO4 battery charger with an activation function to reactivate the BMS. The recommended ECO-WORTHY 12V/24V 20A Smart Battery Charger (ASIN: B0DYHGR9FR) has this feature. |
| Battery not charging in cold temperatures. | Low-temperature charging protection is active. | Charging will automatically resume when the internal battery temperature rises above 32°F (0°C). Ensure the battery is in an environment above this temperature for charging. |
| Bluetooth app not connecting. | Bluetooth on device is off, app not updated, or battery is too far. | Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone, update the ECO-WORTHY app, and be within close proximity to the battery. Restarting the app or phone may also help. |
| Reduced capacity or runtime. | Overloading, aging, or improper charging. | Verify your load does not exceed the battery's continuous discharge current. Ensure proper charging cycles are maintained. If the battery is very old, its capacity may naturally degrade over time. |
