4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Upon receiving your HumsiENK battery, carefully unpack all components. The package includes one 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery and one 14.6V 20A charger. Inspect the battery and charger for any visible damage. If any damage is found, contact customer support immediately.
Note: The battery and charger may be shipped in separate packages. Please ensure both components are received before proceeding with setup.
4.2 Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the battery using the provided 14.6V 20A charger. Connect the charger to a standard AC outlet and then connect the charging cable to the battery terminals. The charging process typically takes approximately 5 hours.

4.3 Connecting Multiple Batteries (Optional)
The HumsiENK 12V LiFePO4 battery supports configurations of up to 4 batteries in series or 4 batteries in parallel, or a combination of both, to achieve higher voltage or capacity. This allows for a maximum system capacity of 48V and 20.48kWh.
- Series Connection: Connect the positive terminal of one battery to the negative terminal of the next to increase voltage. Ensure all batteries have similar state of charge before connecting in series.
- Parallel Connection: Connect positive terminals together and negative terminals together to increase capacity. Use appropriate busbars and cables for parallel connections.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 General Usage
The battery is suitable for powering various electrical appliances, lighting, and electronic equipment. Its deep cycle capability makes it ideal for sustained power delivery in applications such as RVs, solar systems, off-grid homes, marine vessels (fish finders, trolling motors), and garden equipment.
5.2 Temperature Considerations
The battery is designed to operate in a wide temperature range from -4°F (-20°C) to 158°F (70°C). For safety and to prevent damage, the built-in BMS will automatically cut off charging and discharging if the temperature falls below -4°F (-20°C). This low-temperature protection is crucial for maintaining battery health, especially in cold climates.

5.3 Charging Methods
The HumsiENK LiFePO4 battery can be charged using several methods:
- Solar Panel + MPPT Charger: For optimal solar charging, a solar panel system with a recommended output of ≥400W and an MPPT charger can fully charge the battery in approximately 5 hours.
- Specialized Lithium Iron Phosphate Charger: Use the included HumsiENK 14.6V/20A charger for a full charge in about 5 hours.
- Engine Running Charger (DC-DC): A DC-DC charger connected to a vehicle's alternator can also charge the battery, typically achieving a full charge in about 5 hours.

6. Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the 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 surface clean and dry. Use a damp cloth to wipe away dust or dirt. 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. Recharge every 3-6 months to prevent deep discharge.
- Avoid Deep Discharge: While LiFePO4 batteries tolerate deep discharge well, consistently discharging to 0% can reduce overall lifespan. The BMS will protect against over-discharge.
