- Storage: If storing the battery for an extended period, ensure it is charged to approximately 50-70% State of Charge (SOC). Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Recharge every 3-6 months to prevent deep discharge.
- Temperature: Avoid operating or charging the battery in temperatures outside its specified range. The built-in BMS includes low-temperature cut-off protection.
10. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Battery not powering on/no output | Loose connections, BMS protection activated, deeply discharged | Check all terminal connections. If BMS is in protection mode (check app/LCD), try connecting the charger to reset. Charge the battery. |
| Battery not charging | Charger not connected properly, faulty charger, BMS protection, extreme temperature | Ensure charger is securely connected to battery and AC outlet. Check charger indicator lights. Move battery to a suitable temperature environment. |
| Bluetooth app not connecting | Out of range, Bluetooth off on phone, app issue | Ensure phone is within 20 meters of the battery. Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. Restart the app or your phone. |
| Reduced range/performance | Battery not fully charged, heavy load, cold weather, aging battery | Ensure full charge. Reduce load if possible. Performance may be reduced in cold temperatures. If battery is old, consider replacement. |
