3. What's in the Box

Upon opening the package, you should find the following items:

• Weize 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 Lithium Battery
• Terminal Bolts (M8)
• Protective Terminal Caps (Red for positive, Black for negative)
• User Manual

4. Setup and Installation

Proper setup is crucial for battery performance and safety. Ensure all connections are secure and correct.

4.1 Terminal Connection

Connect your cables to the battery terminals using the provided M8 bolts. Ensure a tight and secure connection to prevent overheating and power loss. Apply the protective caps after connection.

4.2 Parallel and Series Connection

The Weize LiFePO4 battery can be connected in series or parallel to achieve higher voltage or capacity. Up to 4 batteries can be connected in series or parallel. Refer to the diagrams on the battery label and in the user manual for correct wiring configurations.

4.3 Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge the battery with a dedicated LiFePO4 charger. The built-in BMS will manage the charging process, ensuring optimal battery health.

5. Operating Instructions

The Weize LiFePO4 battery is designed for deep cycle applications, providing stable and consistent power. Its advanced BMS ensures safe operation across various conditions.

5.1 Battery Management System (BMS)

The built-in Smart BMS protects your battery from overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, short-circuiting, and extreme temperatures (both low and high). This significantly increases the battery's performance and lifespan. The BMS will automatically cut off power if the voltage drops below 1V, and reactivate after 1 second once the circuit is reconnected.

5.2 Versatile Applications

This battery is ideal for a wide range of uses due to its high energy density and lightweight design (approximately 1/2 the mass of lead-acid batteries). Common applications include:

• Fish Finders & Ice Fishing
• RV & Camping Power
• Solar Systems & Off-Grid Applications
• Home Alarm Systems
• E-Scooters
• Marine Applications

6. Maintenance

The Weize LiFePO4 battery is designed to be maintenance-free. However, to ensure its longevity and optimal performance, follow these guidelines:

• Regular Recharging: If the battery is not in regular use, recharge it every 3 months to maintain its capacity and health.
• Proper Storage: Store the battery at greater than 50% capacity in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Clean Terminals: Periodically inspect and clean the terminals to ensure good conductivity and prevent corrosion.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Weize LiFePO4 battery, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

7.1 Cannot Discharge

• Check whether the battery is securely connected.
• Check whether the positive and negative battery terminals are correctly connected.
• Check whether the battery voltage is greater than 12V. If it is less than 12V, charge the battery first.
• Check whether the load voltage matches the battery.
• Check whether the load current is greater than 100A; ensure it is less than 100A.
• Ensure that the ambient discharge temperature ranges from -15°C to +55°C.

7.2 Cannot Charge

• Check whether the battery is securely connected.
• Check whether the positive and negative battery terminals are correctly connected.
• Check the charging voltage matches the battery; the charging parameters are set correctly.
• Check whether the charging current is greater than 100A and ensure that it is less than 100A.
• Check whether the battery voltage is less than 9V. If it is less than 9V, use a charger with 0V charging function to charge.
• Ensure the charging environment temperature ranges from 0°C to +45°C.
• After the battery is protected by over-discharge, disconnect the load and wait for the battery to recover voltage before charging, or use a charger with 0V charging function to charge.

7.3 Battery Heats Up

• Check whether the battery is securely connected. The connecting wire should be in contact with the battery terminal. Do not clamp screws to discharge.
• Check whether the battery cable matches the working current. 6AWG or 4AWG cable is recommended.
• Check whether the load power exceeds the battery discharge power of 1280 Watt; ensure the load power is lower than the required battery power.
• Ensure the working temperature is lower than 55°C.
