Introduction

This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient use of your Miady LiFePO4 12V 100Ah Lithium Battery. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your battery.

Safety Information

Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the battery and connected equipment:

• Store the battery at approximately 75% capacity and recharge every 6 months to maintain optimal health.
• Do not store the battery above 60°C (140°F). High temperatures can degrade battery performance and safety.
• Avoid short-circuiting the battery terminals. This can cause severe damage to the battery and pose a fire hazard.
• Do not crush, mutilate, or puncture the battery. Physical damage can lead to internal short circuits and dangerous reactions.
• Ensure correct polarity when connecting the battery. Reversing polarity can damage the battery and connected devices.
• Do not disassemble the battery. The battery contains sensitive components and chemicals that can be hazardous if exposed.
• Do not dispose of the battery in fire. Lithium batteries can explode or ignite when exposed to high heat.
• Use only a specific LiFePO4 charger. Using an incompatible charger, such as a fully automatic SLA charger, may not fully charge the battery and could cause damage.

Setup and Installation

Follow these guidelines for proper setup and installation of your Miady LiFePO4 battery:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the battery from its packaging. Inspect for any visible damage.
2. Initial Charge: It is recommended to fully charge the battery before its first use. Use a dedicated LiFePO4 charger.
3. Mounting: Secure the battery in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and flammable materials. Ensure the battery is stable and cannot move during operation.
4. Connections:
   • Connect the positive (+) terminal of the battery to the positive terminal of your system.
   • Connect the negative (-) terminal of the battery to the negative terminal of your system.
   • Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent arcing and overheating.
   • Use appropriate gauge cables for your application to handle the expected current.
5. Series and Parallel Connections:
   • For series connections (to increase voltage), ensure all batteries are of the same model, capacity, and state of charge before connecting. The battery supports series connections up to 51.2V (4 batteries).
   • For parallel connections (to increase capacity), ensure all batteries are of the same model, capacity, and state of charge. The battery supports parallel connections of up to two batteries.
   • Consult a qualified technician for complex multi-battery configurations.

Operating Instructions

Charging the Battery

To charge your Miady LiFePO4 battery:

1. Use a dedicated LiFePO4 battery charger. Standard lead-acid chargers may not fully charge or may damage the battery.
2. Ensure the charger's voltage output is within the recommended range of 14.0V to 14.6V.
3. Connect the charger to the battery terminals, observing correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative).
4. The recommended charging current is 20A, with a maximum charging current of 50A.
5. Charge the battery within the temperature range of 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F).

Discharging the Battery

When using the battery to power devices:

1. Ensure the total current draw of your devices does not exceed the battery's maximum continuous discharge current of 100A.
2. The battery can handle a maximum pulse current of 200A for less than 3 seconds.
3. The battery's BMS will cut off discharge if the voltage drops to 10.0V to protect the cells.
4. Operate the battery within the discharge temperature range of -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F).
