2. Safety Instructions

Adhering to these safety guidelines is crucial for preventing damage to the battery and ensuring user safety.

• Do not short-circuit: Avoid connecting the positive and negative terminals directly. This can cause severe damage to the battery and pose a fire hazard.
• No modification or disassembly: Do not attempt to modify, disassemble, or open the battery casing without authorization. Unauthorized alterations void the warranty and can lead to dangerous situations.
• Avoid extreme conditions: Do not expose the battery to fire, water, or extreme temperatures outside the specified operating range.
• Use appropriate charger: Always use a standard charger that is compatible with the output voltage and chemistry of a lithium iron phosphate battery.
• BMS Protection: The integrated Battery Management System (BMS) provides protection against overcharge, deep discharge, overcurrent, overvoltage, and extreme temperatures. However, proper handling is still required.

4.2 Series and Parallel Connections

The DATOUBOSS LiFePO4 battery supports both series and parallel connections to achieve desired voltage and capacity. Always ensure all batteries are of the same model and state of charge before connecting.

• Parallel Connection: Connect positive terminals together and negative terminals together to increase total capacity (Ah) while maintaining the same voltage (V).
• Series Connection: Connect the positive terminal of one battery to the negative terminal of the next battery to increase total voltage (V) while maintaining the same capacity (Ah).
• The system can be configured up to 4 batteries in series and 4 batteries in parallel (4P4S) for a maximum power of 4.096 kWh (51.2V 800Ah).

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these guidelines for optimal performance and longevity of your battery.

5.1 Charging

• Ensure the charger is specifically designed for LiFePO4 batteries and matches the battery's voltage.
• The recommended charging temperature range is 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F).
• The maximum continuous charging current is 100A. Do not exceed this limit.

5.2 Discharging

• The recommended discharging temperature range is -20°C to 65°C (-4°F to 150°F).
• The maximum continuous discharging current is 200A. Avoid exceeding this limit to prevent damage.
• The BMS will automatically cut off power if the battery is discharged below its safe voltage limit.

7. Troubleshooting

The integrated BMS handles most common issues. If you encounter problems, consider the following:

• No Power Output: Check all cable connections to ensure they are secure and correctly polarized. Verify the battery's state of charge. The BMS may have activated a protection mode (e.g., over-discharge).
• Charging Issues: Ensure the charger is compatible with LiFePO4 batteries and functioning correctly. Check the charging temperature is within the specified range (0°C to 45°C).
• Overcurrent Protection: If the battery suddenly stops providing power during high load, the BMS may have activated overcurrent protection. Reduce the load and restart the system.
• Temperature Protection: If the battery is operating in extremely hot or cold conditions, the BMS may temporarily disable charging or discharging to protect the cells. Allow the battery to return to its optimal temperature range.
• Unusual Behavior: If the battery exhibits any unusual behavior not covered here, disconnect it from all loads and chargers and contact customer support.
