Connecting Batteries (Series/Parallel)

The Ingeosolly 12V 300Ah LiFePO4 battery can be connected in series or parallel to achieve desired voltage and capacity. Always ensure all batteries are at a similar state of charge before connecting.

• Series Connection: Up to 4 batteries can be connected in series to achieve a maximum voltage of 51.2V (e.g., 4 x 12.8V = 51.2V) while maintaining 300Ah capacity.
• Parallel Connection: Up to 4 batteries can be connected in parallel to achieve a maximum capacity of 1200Ah (e.g., 4 x 300Ah = 1200Ah) at 12.8V.
• Combined Series-Parallel: A maximum configuration of 4S x 4P (4 in series, 4 sets in parallel) is supported, resulting in 51.2V 1200Ah.

Use appropriate gauge cables and ensure all connections are secure to prevent resistance and overheating.

Charging

Use a charger specifically designed for Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. The recommended charging parameters are:

• Charging Voltage: 14.2V - 14.6V
• Charging Current: 20A - 60A (0.2C)

Avoid overcharging or using incompatible chargers, as this can damage the battery and void the warranty. The built-in BMS will provide protection against overcharging.

Operating Instructions

Once installed and charged, the Ingeosolly LiFePO4 battery is ready for use in various applications:

• RV and Marine: Power your recreational vehicle or boat's electrical systems.
• Off-Grid Systems: Ideal for remote cabins or backup power solutions.
• Solar Power Systems: Store energy generated by solar panels for later use.
• Other Applications: Suitable for golf carts, trolling motors, fish finders, and other deep cycle battery needs.

Monitor the battery's state of charge using compatible monitoring equipment. The BMS will manage discharge parameters to prevent damage from over-discharging.

Maintenance

LiFePO4 batteries require minimal maintenance compared to lead-acid batteries. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance and longevity:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check battery terminals for corrosion or loose connections. Clean terminals if necessary.
• Temperature Management: Operate and store the battery within the specified temperature ranges to prevent performance degradation.
  • Charging: 32°F ~ 113°F (0°C ~ 45°C)
  • Discharging: -4°F ~ 140°F (-20°C ~ 60°C)
  • Storage: 10°F ~ 122°F (-12°C ~ 50°C)
• Cleaning: Keep the battery surface clean and dry. Use a soft, damp cloth if cleaning is needed.
• Long-Term Storage: If storing the battery for an extended period, ensure it is charged to approximately 50% state of charge and stored in a cool, dry place within the recommended temperature range.

Troubleshooting

The built-in Battery Management System (BMS) is designed to protect the battery from common issues. If you experience problems, consider the following:

• Battery Not Charging:
  • Check charger compatibility and ensure it's designed for LiFePO4 batteries.
  • Verify charging voltage and current are within specifications (14.2-14.6V, 20-60A).
  • Inspect all connections for looseness or corrosion.
  • The BMS may have activated over-voltage or low-temperature protection. Allow the battery to cool down or warm up to within operating temperature range.
• Battery Not Discharging/Low Power Output:
  • Check for loose connections.
  • The BMS may have activated under-voltage, overcurrent, or high-temperature protection. Reduce load, allow the battery to cool, or recharge if the voltage is too low.
  • Ensure the load is within the battery's continuous discharge current rating (200A BMS).
• Unusual Odor or Swelling: Immediately disconnect the battery and contact customer support. Do not attempt to use or charge a damaged battery.
