Specifications

Setup and Installation

Before installation, ensure all components are present and undamaged. Follow these general guidelines for setting up your DATOUBOSS LiFePO4 battery:

1. Inspection: Visually inspect the battery for any physical damage.
2. Ventilation: Install the battery in a well-ventilated area, free from flammable materials.
3. Mounting: Secure the battery in a stable position to prevent movement or vibration.
4. Wiring: Connect the battery terminals using appropriate gauge cables. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). Incorrect polarity can cause severe damage.
5. Series/Parallel Connection: If connecting multiple batteries, refer to the "Operating Instructions" section for detailed guidance on series and parallel configurations.
6. Charger Connection: Connect a compatible LiFePO4 charger to the battery. Ensure the charger's voltage matches the battery's requirements (14.4±0.2V for charging).

Operating Instructions

Charging

Use a dedicated LiFePO4 battery charger with a charging voltage of 14.4±0.2V and a maximum continuous charging current of 100A. Avoid using chargers designed for lead-acid batteries, as this can damage the LiFePO4 battery.

• Connect the charger's positive terminal to the battery's positive terminal and the charger's negative terminal to the battery's negative terminal.
• Ensure the charging temperature is within 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F).
• The integrated BMS will manage the charging process, preventing overcharge.

Discharging

The battery supports a maximum continuous discharging current of 200A. Ensure your load does not exceed this limit to prevent the BMS from triggering protection and disconnecting the power.

• Connect your load to the battery terminals, observing correct polarity.
• The discharging temperature range is -20°C to 65°C (-4°F to 150°F).
• The BMS will protect against deep discharge by disconnecting the battery when the voltage drops below a safe threshold.

Series and Parallel Connection

The DATOUBOSS LiFePO4 battery supports both series and parallel connections to achieve higher voltage or capacity. Always use batteries of the same brand, model, and capacity for optimal performance and safety.

Parallel Connection (for increased capacity, same voltage):

Connect positive terminals together and negative terminals together. For example, connecting four 12V 200Ah batteries in parallel will result in a 12V 800Ah system.

Series Connection (for increased voltage, same capacity):

Connect the positive terminal of one battery to the negative terminal of the next. For example, connecting four 12V 200Ah batteries in series will result in a 48V 200Ah system.

Important: When connecting in series or parallel, ensure all batteries are fully charged and balanced to the same voltage before making connections. Use appropriate cabling for the combined current and voltage.

Maintenance

DATOUBOSS LiFePO4 batteries require minimal maintenance compared to lead-acid batteries. However, following these guidelines will help ensure maximum lifespan:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the battery terminals for corrosion and ensure connections are tight.
• Cleaning: Keep the battery clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
• Storage: If storing the battery for an extended period, charge it to approximately 50-70% of its capacity and store it in a cool, dry place. Recharge every 3-6 months to prevent self-discharge.
• Avoid Deep Discharge: While the BMS protects against deep discharge, it is good practice to avoid consistently running the battery to its lowest voltage.
• Temperature Management: Operate and store the battery within the recommended temperature ranges to prevent performance degradation.
