Installation & User Guide SL Range 1.0 Introduction Congratulations! You have purchased a state-of-the-art lithium battery and we hope you enjoy many years of trouble-free life. This Installation and User Guide describes how to connect and safely operate the Slimline range of 12V batteries.
Installation & User Guide SL Range 2.0 Do’s and Don’ts This battery contains lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells. While LFP cells are the safest Li-Ion chemistry, the stored chemical energy represents a risk of fire, burns or explosion if misused. Avoid injury to yourself and others, adhere to the warnings in this Guide.
Installation & User Guide SL Range 2.4 Avoid repeated shock and vibration Whilst the battery is robustly constructed and protected in an aluminium enclosure, it is not designed to operate continuously in high shock or high vibration environments. Normal use in a 4WD environment is acceptable and the battery has been designed in accordance with these expected conditions.
Installation & User Guide SL Range 3.0 Longevity & Depth of Discharge One of the advantages of lithium batteries over lead-acid batteries is longevity. If you want to realise the long life potential out of your lithium battery then consideration must be given to depth of discharge.
Installation & User Guide SL Range 4.0 Battery Management System Your battery comes with a Battery Management System (BMS) mounted internally. The BMS is an electronic solid-state circuit board which manages the cells and protects the battery across a range of scenarios which primarily includes over charge and over discharge protection. Unlike lead acid batteries, over charging or over discharging a lithium battery may lead to a hazardous scenario.
Installation & User Guide SL Range 5.0 Installation 5.1 Stowage The Slimline battery is likely to be stowed in a car, RV or 4WD or as a portable battery for camping. An important part of the battery installation is securely fixing it down or safely stowing it away during transport so that it does not become a projectile in an accident. Figure 2 illustrates some handy stowage solutions. The primary benefit of the slim battery is that it can tuck away behind or under a seat in a vehicle.
Installation & User Guide SL Range 5.1 Connecting The BTLITH12110-SL model contains two (2) convenient grey Anderson plug connectors accessible from the side of the battery as shown in Figure 3. Both can be used as input and outputs for charging and running loads. Or one plug could be used to charge the battery and the second plug used for loads.
Installation & User Guide SL Range Charge sources to the grey Anderson connector could include: - External AC charger; or External (regulated) solar charger. The blue connector is reserved for a DC input, to make use of the internal DC-DC charger. The DC-DC charger is rated for 20A input from a vehicle alternator or start battery. Figure 4 – DCS Model Anderson Connectors 5.3 Tuning the DC-DC Charger The internal 20A DC-DC charger contains a Voltage Sensing Relay (VSR).
Installation & User Guide SL Range Note that the voltage sensed by the DC-DC charger when it is charging, will be slightly different to the voltage measured at the vehicle alternator / start battery. This is because of the voltage drop along the cable from the alternator / start battery to the Baintech battery. If this voltage drop is too high, a thicker and/or shorter cable may be required. 1. After connecting the DC source via the blue Anderson plug, the vehicle engine can be started. 2.
Installation & User Guide SL Range 6.0 User Guide Once the battery is securely installed and electrically connected it will automatically be available for use. The internal BMS will actively ensure the battery is protected and operating safely at all times. The battery requires no user interface or intervention under normal conditions. The Slimline lithium battery voltage can be monitored by installing an external display, such as our remote voltage monitor shown right.
