4. Setup

4.1 Series and Parallel Connections

The DATOUBOSS LiFePO4 battery supports flexible expansion by connecting multiple batteries in series and/or parallel to achieve desired voltage and capacity. Up to 16 batteries can be connected to form a 4-series 4-parallel (4S4P) system, providing an output capacity from 12.8V to 51.2V and a power output from 1.28kW to 20.48kW.

• Series Connection: Connect batteries in series to increase the total voltage. Ensure all batteries have the same capacity and are fully charged before connecting.
• Parallel Connection: Connect batteries in parallel to increase the total capacity (Ah). Ensure all batteries have the same voltage and are fully charged before connecting.
• Always use appropriate cables and connectors rated for the expected current.
• Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about wiring configurations.

7. Troubleshooting

While DATOUBOSS LiFePO4 batteries are highly reliable, should you encounter any issues, please refer to the following general advice. For specific technical problems, it is recommended to contact customer support.

• Battery Not Charging: Ensure all connections are secure and correct. Verify that your charger is compatible with LiFePO4 batteries and is functioning properly. Check for any tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses in your system.
• Low Power Output: Check the battery's state of charge. Ensure the load is within the battery's continuous discharge current limits. Verify that all connections are clean and tight to minimize resistance.
• Battery Management System (BMS) Activation: The built-in BMS may temporarily shut down the battery to protect it from overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, or extreme temperatures. If this occurs, remove the load or charging source, allow the battery to rest, and then attempt to restart.

If problems persist after checking these points, please contact DATOUBOSS customer support for assistance.
