How to Properly Charge the Batteries

The battery will be received at a partial state of charge (SOC) depending on the time between manufacturing and shipping. It is crucial to fully charge the battery before its initial use. In case the battery shuts off due to low SOC, promptly disconnect it from loads and charge it to prevent irreversible damage. Follow the instructions in this user manual for proper charging and usage to ensure optimal battery performance and longevity.
Charging Logic
The standard charging process for the battery involves charging at a constant current until the battery voltage reaches 58.8V for the 48V battery, followed by charging at a constant voltage of 58.8V while tapering the charge current. When using a 20A charger, the standard charging process typically takes 10 hours for the 210Ah and 5 hours for the 120Ahr. The BMS requires battery temperatures to be between 32°F and 131°F (0°C and 55°C) for safe charging. Leaving the battery on float will continue to balance the battery cells without damaging the battery.

How does the BMS protect the batteries?
The battery is equipped with a Battery Management System (BMS) that provides warnings and protections against overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, high temperature, and low temperature conditions. Refer to the table below for the triggering and recovery conditions of each warning and protection.
High Voltage Disconnect (> 58.8V Battery Voltage, > 4.2V Cell Voltage)
If an individual cell voltage exceeds a prescribed threshold during charging, the BMS will prevent a charge current from continuing. Discharge is always allowed under this condition. If the batteries have not been balanced for a long time, high voltage disconnect could occur at a lower voltage. The batteries will rebalance after several full charges.
Low-Voltage Disconnect (< 35.28V Battery Voltage, < 2.52V Cell Voltage)
If an individual cell falls below a prescribed threshold during discharge, the BMS will prevent further discharge. Although the battery is in "low voltage disconnect" mode, it will still allow a charging current.
NOTE: Many chargers must detect a voltage over 10V to send a charge to the battery. Please be aware that some chargers may not sense a battery in low voltage disconnect and you may need to jump it with a 48V source to "wake up" the battery. You should jump your battery within 24hrs of entering low voltage disconnect otherwise you risk damaging your battery and voiding the warranty.
High Temperature Charging and Discharging
The BMS will not allow a charging current if the internal temperature of the battery has reached 155°F (70°C). If the internal temperature of the battery has reached 155°F (70°C), the BMS will not allow a discharging current.

Solid State Marine Battery MANUAL SSM8D-48V120A, SSM8D-48V210A > Rev 0824

Low Temperature Charging (< -4°F/-20°C)
The BMS will not allow a charging current under -4°F (-20°C) but will continue to discharge down to -4°F (-20°C).
High Current Discharge Surges
The BMS will not allow a current that exceeds 500 (+/- 5%) Amps (350A for 120Ah model) for more than 1.5s. After a high current disconnection, the battery will automatically reconnect after 60 seconds.
Short Current Discharge Surges
Our BMS has built-in short circuit protection. If the short circuit protection is tripped, the BMS will shut the battery down and will remain disconnected until you remove the battery cables.
Balancing of Cells
A passive balancing process is activated by the BMS at the top of each charge cycle when the battery voltage exceeds around 48V. This ensures that all the cells remain at the same state of charge, which helps pack longevity and performance.
How to Properly Store Batteries
Please follow the tips below to ensure that the battery emerges from storage in a good condition: Charge the battery to 30% to 50% SOC.
· Disconnect the battery from the system. · Store the battery in a well-ventilated, dry, clean area with temperatures between -13°F (-25°C) and
149°F (65°C). · Do not expose the battery to direct sunlight, moisture, or precipitation. · Handle the battery carefully to avoid sharp impacts or extreme pressure on the battery housing. · Charge the battery at least once every 3 to 6 months to prevent it from over discharge. · Fully charge the battery when it is taken out of storage.
How to Maintain the Batteries
Inspection
Please perform regular inspections following the steps below:
· Examine the external appearance of the battery. The housing and terminals of the battery shall be clean, dry, and free of corrosion.
· Check battery cables and connections. Replace any damaged cables and tighten any loose connections.

Solid State Marine Battery MANUAL SSM8D-48V120A, SSM8D-48V210A > Rev 0824

In certain application scenarios, corrosion may occur around the terminals. Corrosion can cause increased resistance and poor contact. It is recommended to regularly apply insulation grease to each terminal. Insulation grease can form a moisture-resistant seal and protect the terminals from corrosion.
Cleaning
Please clean the battery at regular intervals following the steps below:
· Disconnect the battery from the system. · Clear the leaves and debris from the battery. · Clean the battery with a soft, lint-free cloth. The cloth can be dampened with
water or mild soap and water if the battery is extremely dirty. · Dry the battery with a soft, lint-free cloth. · Keep the area around the battery clean. · Reconnect the battery to the system.
Checking Voltage
Please check the battery voltage periodically to assess battery health. If the battery is unable to be activated with a charge/discharge current greater than 1A or the battery is activated with a resting voltage below 10V, the battery may have been severely over-discharged due to self-discharge or parasitic loads. Please stop using the battery until the fault can be corrected and the battery can be charged.
