Important Safety Guidelines
Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries require careful handling. Failure to follow these guidelines can result in fire, personal injury, or property damage. Always prioritize safety when handling LiPo batteries.
- Charging: Always use a compatible LiPo balance charger. Never leave charging batteries unattended. Charge in a fire-safe area, away from flammable materials.
- Storage: Store batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and flammable materials. Store at a recommended storage voltage (typically 3.8V-3.85V per cell).
- Discharge: Do not discharge below 3.35V per cell. Over-discharging can permanently damage the battery and pose a safety risk.
- Physical Damage: Do not puncture, drop, or expose the battery to excessive impact. If the battery is damaged, swollen, or leaking, discontinue use immediately and safely dispose of it.
- Temperature: Avoid extreme temperatures. Do not expose to temperatures above 60°C (140°F) or below 0°C (32°F).
- Disposal: Dispose of LiPo batteries responsibly according to local regulations. Never dispose of them in regular trash.
Setup and Initial Inspection
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the battery pack from its packaging.
- Visual Inspection: Inspect the battery for any signs of physical damage, swelling, or leaks. Do not use if damaged.
- Charge Level Check: Before first use, it is recommended to check the battery's voltage with a LiPo voltage checker to ensure it is at a safe storage voltage.
- First Charge: Fully charge the battery using a compatible 12S LiPo balance charger. Ensure the charger settings match the battery specifications (45.6V, 16000mAh, 3C fast charge capability).
Operating Your TATTU Pro Battery
Charging
Use a dedicated LiPo balance charger compatible with 12S batteries. Connect the AS150U-F discharge plug and the balance lead to the charger. Set the charge current according to the battery's 3C fast charge capability (e.g., 3 x 16A = 48A maximum, but always refer to your charger's capabilities and battery manufacturer's recommendations). Monitor the charging process closely.
Discharging and Use
Connect the AS150U-F plug to your compatible device (e.g., drone). Ensure a secure connection. Monitor the battery voltage during operation. Stop use when the battery reaches the safe discharge voltage of 3.35V per cell to prevent over-discharge.
Smart Features
The TATTU Pro battery includes an integrated smart system for data acquisition, security warnings, power calculation, and automatic cell equalization.
- Data Monitoring: Connect the battery to a host computer via the CAN/SMBU communication port to access real-time status and historical data. This allows for monitoring parameters such as voltage, current, temperature, and cell balance.
- Warning System: The battery provides warnings for abnormal states, including charging warnings and other abnormal state alarms, enhancing operational safety.
Maintenance and Long-Term Storage
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the battery for any signs of wear, damage, or swelling.
- Cleaning: Keep the battery and connectors clean and free from dust and debris.
- Storage Voltage: For long-term storage, charge or discharge the battery to its storage voltage (approximately 3.8V-3.85V per cell).
- Storage Environment: Store in a cool, dry, fire-safe location, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and corrosive materials.
- Avoid Full Charge/Discharge Storage: Do not store batteries fully charged or fully discharged for extended periods, as this can significantly degrade battery life and performance.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Battery not charging | Incorrect charger settings, faulty charger, damaged battery, loose connection | Verify charger settings, try a different charger, inspect battery for damage, ensure connections are secure |
| Battery swelling | Overcharging, over-discharging, physical damage, internal short | Discontinue use immediately. Safely dispose of the battery according to local regulations. Do not attempt to charge or use a swollen battery. |
| Reduced run time | Battery aging, improper charging/storage, high discharge rate | Ensure proper charging and storage practices. Consider battery replacement if degradation is significant. |
| Smart features not working | Loose communication cable, software issue, battery fault | Check CAN/SMBU cable connection. Consult the host computer software manual. Contact support if issues persist. |
