Figure 2: Proper and Improper Terminal Connections Safety While LiFePO4 batteries are inherently safe, as with all batteries, energy storage devices, and electrical equipment, safety and electrical hazards do exist. Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in electrical shock, injury, or death, or may damage the battery or other equipment or property.
Connecting the Batteries in Parallel Why Connect in Parallel? Multiple BB10012|BB10012H batteries may be connected in parallel to increase the capacity and current of the system. When batteries are connected in parallel, the voltage of the system does not change, but the capacity and current limits are additive. For example, two BB10012|BB10012H batteries connected in parallel (shown in Fig. 3) create a 12V 200Ah bank that can deliver 200A continuously and 400A for 30 seconds.
Connecting the Batteries in Series Why Connect in Series? When batteries are connected in series, current capacities remain the same, but the system voltage is additive. For example, two BB10012|BB10012H batteries connected in series form a 24V 100Ah bank (shown in Fig. 4) and should be charged using a bulk and absorption voltage of 28.8V, and a float voltage of 27.2V. How to Make a Series Connection Note: Battle Born 10012|10012H Batteries are capable of being connected in series up to 48V.
How Does the BMS Protect the Batteries? All Battle Born Batteries come with a built-in battery management system (BMS) that protects the cells from many strenuous circumstances to protect the life cycles of the cells and your electrical system from potential damage. The BMS in the BB10012 | BB10012H allows for 100 Amps continuous, 200 Amp surge for 30 seconds, and 1/2 second surge for loads over 200 Amps. All of our BMS' protect against the following conditions: High Voltage Disconnect (> 14.
Voltage vs. Capacity For a Single Battery How to Properly Size Cables for System Install When considering cable sizing there are a few factors to consider. First, what is the size of the load you are powering with the battery bank? Second, how far away from the battery is the load? You can do voltage drop calculations to see if you need to step up your cable size. Fig. 5 is a chart to use for reference.
How to Incorporate Fuses into System Install ANL fuses are designed to melt and separate into two pieces for the purpose of breaking a circuit in the event of excessive current. These fuses are essential components for protecting against a catastrophic event and are typically placed between Battle Born Batteries and the inverter/load. How to Properly Store Batteries Fuse QR Code We recommend bringing the Battle Born batteries to a 100% state of charge.
WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS The Manufacturer has no obligation under this Limited Warranty for roduct subjected to the following conditions (including but not limited to): • Damage due to improper installation; loose terminal connections, under-sized cabling, incorrect connections (series and parallel) for desired voltage and AH requirements, or reverse polarity connections.
Lithium-ion vs. Lead-Acid Recommended Accessories (Available via battlebornbatteries.com or call us at 855.292.2831) BMV-712 With Bluetooth built-in, the BMV-712 is the most efficient way to monitor your system. Being a shunt-based device, the unit will monitor power coming in and out of your system all at the palm of your hand. This device is highly recommended to give you the most accurate reading on your batteries.
MultiPlus-II With all the functionality of a MultiPlus and a MultiGrid, the MultiPlus-II 2x 120V is a great option for those with 50A 120/240VAC split-phase applications. Whether it is supplied from shore power or a generator, the MultiPlus-II 2x 120V can accept and pass through both lines of a 120/240V supply, with the capability to utilize the full 50A for charging and AC loads. * This unit pairs well with 300Ah or more of battery capacity.
