4.2 Series and Parallel Connections

The battery supports both series and parallel connections to meet various power requirements:

• Parallel Connection: Connect batteries in parallel to increase total Amp-hour (Ah) capacity while maintaining the same voltage (e.g., two 12V 100Ah batteries in parallel yield 12V 200Ah). Up to 4 batteries can be connected in parallel.
• Series Connection: Connect batteries in series to increase total voltage while maintaining the same Amp-hour (Ah) capacity (e.g., two 12V 100Ah batteries in series yield 24V 100Ah). The battery supports configurations up to 48V (4 batteries in series).

Important: When connecting batteries in series or parallel, ensure all batteries are of the same model, capacity, and state of charge. Use appropriate cables and fuses for your system's current requirements.

5. Charging Instructions

The Ingeosolly LiFePO4 battery can be charged using several methods. Always use a charger compatible with LiFePO4 batteries.

5.1 Recommended Charging Methods

• Solar Power: Connect to a solar charge controller compatible with LiFePO4 batteries and a solar panel array.
• LiFePO4 Charger: Use a dedicated LiFePO4 battery charger. A 14.6V 7A charger is included with the battery.
• Generator: Connect through a compatible charger or inverter/charger system.

7. Maintenance and Storage

7.1 Maintenance

LiFePO4 batteries require minimal maintenance compared to lead-acid batteries. Periodically inspect the battery terminals for corrosion and ensure connections are tight. Keep the battery clean and free of debris.

7.2 Storage

If storing the battery for an extended period, ensure it is charged to approximately 50-70% of its capacity. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Disconnect the battery from any loads during storage to prevent self-discharge.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Ingeosolly LiFePO4 battery, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Battery Not Charging:
  • Check all connections to ensure they are secure and correctly polarized.
  • Verify the charger is functioning correctly and is compatible with LiFePO4 batteries.
  • Ensure the charging voltage and current are within the specified range.
  • The BMS may have activated a protection mode (e.g., low temperature, over-discharge). Allow the battery to warm up if cold, or attempt a low-current charge to reactivate the BMS if deeply discharged.
• Low Power Output:
  • Check the battery's State of Charge (SOC). The battery may need recharging.
  • Inspect wiring and connections for any loose or corroded points that could cause voltage drop.
  • Ensure the load does not exceed the battery's continuous discharge current (100A) or peak discharge current (300A for 5 seconds). The BMS may have triggered overcurrent protection.
• Unusual Odor or Swelling:
  • Immediately disconnect the battery from all loads and charging sources.
  • Move the battery to a safe, well-ventilated area away from flammable materials.
  • Do not attempt to use or repair the battery. Contact customer support.
