4. Safety Information
Adhering to safety guidelines is crucial for preventing damage and ensuring safe operation. The built-in BMS provides multiple protections, but user precautions are still necessary.
- Overcharging Protection: The BMS will prevent overcharging, but always use a compatible LiFePO4 charger.
- Over-discharging Protection: The BMS will cut off power to prevent deep discharge, which can damage the battery.
- Over-current Protection: Protects against excessive current draw.
- Short Circuit Protection: Automatically disconnects in case of a short circuit.
- High-temperature Protection: The BMS will cut off power if the environmental temperature exceeds 60°C/140°F.
- Operating Temperature: Charge: 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F); Discharge: -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F); Storage: -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F).
- Do not use for starting devices or golf carts.
- Ensure proper ventilation during operation.
- Always connect positive to positive and negative to negative terminals.

7. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your battery:
- Storage: Store the battery in a cool, dry place within the recommended storage temperature range of -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F). Ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) for long-term storage.
- Charging: Always use a charger specifically designed for LiFePO4 batteries. Avoid using lead-acid chargers unless they have a dedicated LiFePO4 mode.
- Cleaning: Keep battery terminals clean and free from corrosion. Use a dry cloth to wipe the battery surface.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Redodo battery, consider the following:
- Battery Not Charging: Check charger connections, ensure the charger is compatible with LiFePO4, and verify the battery's operating temperature is within the charging range. The BMS may have activated protection.
- No Power Output: Check all cable connections for tightness. The BMS might have triggered protection due to over-discharge, over-current, or high temperature. Allow the battery to rest or charge to reset the BMS.
- Reduced Performance: Ensure the battery is fully charged. Verify that the load is within the battery's specifications. Extreme temperatures can affect performance.
