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.
Installation
 The battery should be installed as per national and local codes
 The battery should only be installed in locations approved by local building codes.
 Electrical and shock hazards can be minimized by covering the solar array and using insulated tools.
 Do not short the battery terminals.
 Do not install the battery if there are any signs of physical damage
 Do not install the battery in a location that may be flooded.
Operation
 Use only approved battery chargers for charging the battery.
 Do not disassemble the battery.
Emergency
 Disconnect the battery from the system.
 Wear a respirator, eye protection, and rubber gloves where appropriate.
 Use an ABC type dry chemical fire extinguisher.
 Dispose of as per local regulations.
How to Properly Charge the Batteries
To properly charge your Battle Born batteries, you will want to verify that any charging component in your system
is capable of being programmed for the following specifications. Charging components can include, but are not
limited to converters, inverter chargers, solar charge controllers, DC to DC chargers, etc.
 Bulk/Absorption: 14.2V  14.6V
 Absorption Time: Two batteries in parallel connections require 30 minutes 200Ah
 Float: 13.4V  13.8V
 Equalization: 14.4V/ Disabled
 Temperature Compensation: 0/Disabled
 Charge Rate: 50% of the battery or battery bank capacity
 Battery Charge Temperature Range: 25°F (-3°C) to 135°F (57.2°C)
 Battery Discharge Temperature Range: -4°F (-20°C) to 135°F (57.2°C)
 Cell Charge Temperature: 32°F (0°C) to 131°F (55°C)
 Cell Discharge Temperature: 68°F (20°C) to 140°F (60°C)
NOTE: Not all chargers are capable of multistage charging. If yours is not, you will want to verify it can be programmed for the Bulk/Absorption voltage and have the
other items mentioned disabled if applicable. Consult your charger’s manual or the manufacturer
