5. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your Redodo LiFePO4 battery. Always ensure safety precautions are followed.

5.1 Pre-Installation Checklist

• Verify battery voltage and capacity match your system requirements.
• Ensure all components listed in "What's in the Box" are present.
• Have appropriate tools: insulated wrenches, wire cutters, crimpers, multimeter.
• Confirm your charging system (charger, solar controller, alternator) is compatible with LiFePO4 batteries and their voltage requirements (typically 14.2V - 14.6V for charging).

5.2 Installation Steps

1. Choose Location: Select a dry, well-ventilated location that can support the battery's weight (25.93 kg). The compact design is ideal for under-seat installation in vehicles like Fiat Ducato, Citroën Jumper, and Peugeot Boxer.
2. Secure Battery: Ensure the battery is securely fastened to prevent movement during operation, especially in mobile applications.
3. Connect Terminals:
   • Connect the positive (+) terminal of the battery to the positive terminal of your system.
   • Connect the negative (-) terminal of the battery to the negative terminal of your system.
   • Use the provided M8 terminal bolts and gaskets for secure connections.
   • Ensure all connections are tight to prevent resistance and overheating.
   • Cover terminals with insulating caps after connection.
4. Verify Polarity: Double-check all connections for correct polarity before applying power. Incorrect polarity can cause severe damage.
5. Initial Charge: It is recommended to fully charge the battery before its first use.

7. Maintenance

The Redodo LiFePO4 battery requires minimal maintenance, but following these guidelines will ensure optimal performance and extend its lifespan.

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the battery for any physical damage, loose connections, or corrosion on the terminals. Clean terminals if necessary.
• Keep Clean and Dry: Ensure the battery surface is clean and dry. Avoid exposure to excessive dust or moisture.
• Storage: If storing the battery for an extended period, ensure it is charged to approximately 50-70% State of Charge (SOC) and stored in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
• Avoid Deep Discharge: While LiFePO4 batteries tolerate deep discharge well, consistently discharging to 0% SOC can reduce overall cycle life. The BMS will protect against over-discharge.
• Software Updates: Check the Redodo app periodically for any firmware updates for the battery's BMS, if available.
