6. Maintenance and Storage
Proper maintenance and storage practices will maximize your battery's capacity and cycle life.
6.1 Charging
- Charger Compatibility: Use a charger specifically designed for LiFePO4 batteries with a charge voltage between 56.8V and 58.4V.
- Recommended Current: The recommended charge current is 30A. The maximum charge current is 150A.
- Temperature: Charge the battery within the temperature range of 0℃ to 55℃ (32°F to 131°F).
- Recharge Point: It is recommended to recharge the battery when approximately 20% capacity remains.
6.2 Storage
- For long-term storage, store the battery at a state of charge between 50% and 70%.
- Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- The optimal storage temperature range is -10℃ to 45℃ (14°F to 113°F).
- The self-discharge rate is less than 3% per month, minimizing the need for frequent top-up charges during storage.

7. Troubleshooting
The integrated BMS protects the battery from various issues. If you encounter problems, refer to the following common scenarios:
- Battery Not Charging: Ensure the charger is correctly connected and compatible with LiFePO4 batteries. Check the charge temperature is within 0℃ to 55℃. The BMS may have activated overcharge or low-temperature charge protection.
- Battery Not Discharging: Check for secure connections. The BMS may have activated over-discharge, over-current, short circuit, or low/high-temperature discharge protection.
- Over-Discharged Battery: If the battery has been over-discharged (BMS discharge voltage cut-off at 40V), the BMS will disconnect the load. Disconnect the load and allow the battery to rest for 30 minutes. The battery will automatically return to normal voltage and can be used when fully charged.
- Inaccurate Voltage Reading: The capacity of a LiFePO4 battery can only be estimated by its voltage. Voltage is not current when discharging or stopped. To get an accurate voltage reading, measure it 30-40 minutes after it stops discharging.
- Bluetooth Connectivity Issues: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone and the battery is within range. Restart the app or your phone if necessary.
