4. Setup and Installation
Initial Activation:
Redodo Bluetooth batteries are shipped in a powered-off state to ensure safety during transit. To activate the battery, connect it to a compatible LiFePO4 charger (such as the included 29.2V 20A charger) or an MPPT solar charge controller that has a lithium activation function. The battery will activate automatically upon receiving a charge.
Connecting the Battery:
- Ensure all loads are disconnected from the battery before making connections.
- Connect the positive (+) terminal of the battery to the positive (+) terminal of your application (e.g., trolling motor, inverter).
- Connect the negative (-) terminal of the battery to the negative (-) terminal of your application.
- Secure all connections tightly using the provided M8- 5/8" terminal bolts and insulating caps. Loose connections can cause overheating and damage.
- If connecting multiple batteries in series or parallel, refer to the 'Expandable Capacity' section for specific wiring diagrams and safety guidelines.

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Redodo LiFePO4 battery.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check battery terminals for corrosion or loose connections. Clean terminals with a wire brush if necessary and ensure they are securely fastened.
- Cleaning: Keep the battery clean and dry. Wipe down the battery case with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
- 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. Disconnect all loads.
- Avoid Deep Discharge: While the BMS protects against over-discharge, it is best practice to recharge the battery before it reaches critically low levels to maximize cycle life.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Redodo battery or charger, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
Battery Not Activating:
- Ensure the battery is connected to a compatible LiFePO4 charger or MPPT with a lithium activation function. The battery is shipped in a powered-off state and requires an initial charge to activate.
- Check all connections for proper polarity and tightness.
Battery Not Charging:
- Verify the charger is properly plugged into a working power outlet and the battery.
- Check the charger's indicator light. If it's green, the battery might be fully charged or in standby. If it's off, check the power supply.
- Ensure the ambient temperature is above 32°F (0°C), as the battery has a low-temperature charging cut-off.
- Inspect the charger and battery cables for any damage.
Battery Not Discharging / Low Power Output:
- Check the battery's State of Charge (SOC) via the Bluetooth app. Recharge if the SOC is low.
- Ensure the ambient temperature is above -4°F (-20°C), as the battery has a low-temperature discharging cut-off.
- Verify that the load (e.g., trolling motor) is not exceeding the battery's maximum continuous discharge current (60A).
- Check for loose or corroded connections at the battery terminals and the load.
Bluetooth Connectivity Issues:
- Ensure the battery is activated and powered on.
- Make sure your smartphone's Bluetooth is enabled and you are within close proximity to the battery.
- Restart the Redodo app and try pairing again.
- If issues persist, try restarting your smartphone.
