CHARGING THE BATTERY
A key function of the BMS is to protect your battery by internally disconnecting the load when the battery's voltage drops below specific parameters, this will then result in the battery entering into a "sleep" mode. (Load includes any accessories and/or device/s drawing charge from the battery, Eg: fridges, pumps, food sealers, inverters, etc). The charger used to charge the battery must be lithium compatible and be designed to recover lithium batteries from a sleep mode. The KickAss Lithium Battery may be charged in a number of ways: Y Connecting to an alternator via a lithium compatible DCDC charger. Y Connecting to a solar panel via a lithium compatible regulator/controller Y Connecting to an AC power source via a 240V lithium compatible 12V charger Note: When charging the lithium battery, ensure the charger is located close to the battery to avoid voltage drop. Failing to do this may result in the charger entering float mode and failing to complete a recovery from sleep mode.

STORING THE BATTERY
A lithium battery can be stored at any state of charge due to a very low rate of discharge. If storing for long periods of time, charge the battery to 100% before disconnecting from all chargers and loads.
NOTE: The battery will not go into storage mode if: Y There are loads connected to it Y It is being charged Y The RDU's screen is turned on Y It is communicating to App.

USING THE BATTERY FOR THE FIRST TIME OR AFTER A PERIOD OF STORAGE
To recalibrate the State Of Charge (SOC) in your BMS, fully discharge your battery until the BMS cuts out. Once discharged, use a lithium compatible charger to fully charge your battery to 100% SOC. This step is recommend after storing your battery for longer then a month or before using the battery for the first time.
Failure to do these steps will not affect the performance or lifespan of your battery. However, the SOC reading from the display screen or App may differ from the true SOC of the battery due to it being out of synchronisation.

STEP 1: Connect load and discharge until undervoltage alarm is activated. Note: Continue to discharge when low battery alarm comes on at 10% SOC. Doing this will NOT damage your battery.
LOAD

STEP 2: Connect battery to charger and
charge to 100%.
