4.3 Charging operation
Warning: For operational safety and compliance, disconnect the communication and cable link with the inverter when storing the battery. Wear appropriate safety gear during handling and installation. All wiring must be performed by professionals. Use company-provided or recommended cables.
- Check before charging: Inspect the battery and connected equipment (inverter, etc.) to ensure power cords and wiring harnesses are properly connected. Verify that the power supply meets the battery's specifications.
- Turn off the inverter or other equipment. Connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery and the communication cable. Warning: Ensure correct polarity before connecting the battery; do not reverse connect.
- Connect the charger to the power supply and turn it on.
- Start the battery. The POWER indicator should be on, and the SOC indicator should flash, indicating normal charging.
Standard Charging: Charge the battery to 57.6V with a constant current of 20A (0.2C), then continue charging at 5A (0.05C) with a constant voltage of 57.6V.
Note: All tests in this document are performed at 25±2℃.
4.4 Discharge operation
- Before discharging, ensure the load and equipment are turned off.
- Properly connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery to the load/inverter or other equipment. Warning: Confirm correct polarity before connecting the load and equipment; do not reverse connect.
- Turn on the load/inverter or other device.
- Start the battery. The POWER indicator will be steady on, the RUN indicator will flash for 0.5 seconds, and discharge will commence for 1.5 seconds.
Standard discharge: After standard charging, discharge the battery with a constant current of 20A (0.2C) until the battery voltage drops to 41.6V.
Note: All tests in this document are performed at 25±2℃.
Precautions for charging and discharging operation
- When the temperature is high (≥35°C) in summer, limit charging to 0.5C during the day and allow a 30-minute rest period during charge-discharge conversion to prevent battery degradation in high-temperature environments.
- When the temperature is low (<0°C) in winter, limit battery discharge depth to <70% to avoid over-discharge and potential damage.
Warning: This lithium battery must be used only with a manufacturer- or manufacturer-matched compatible inverter or other equipment. Do not use the lithium battery if it fails to communicate with the inverter or other equipment.
