Section 1 - Quick Start Guide Step 1. Connect the Positive (Red) and Negative (Black) cables to the battery, ensuring you are using cable that is of adequate size for the demands of the system, and well crimped and protected termination lugs. Example; 1000W Inverter - at least Gauge 2 (35mm²) 2000W Inverter - at least Guage 00 (70mm²) Cable Conversion Guide The spring washers must be used on the battery terminal bolts - they apply pressure to the lugs for a secure connection.
Section 2 - Charging Lithium batteries need to be charged slightly differently to other batteries. To ensure they live a long life and provide maximum capacity, you must use a charger with a lithium setting - this includes: AC Chargers DC to DC Chargers Solar Controllers If your charger allows, set the charge voltage from 14.0 -14.6 Volts and Float 13.5 - 13.6 Volts. and proceed with charging. We recommend charging at the lower end of the voltage scale for maximum longevity of the battery.
Section 3 - Discharging (using the battery) The Enerdrive B-TEC Lithium Battery can deliver a maximum of 100 Amps for the 100 & 125Ah battery and 200 Amps for the 200Ah battery for 30 minutes due to the high power, high quality Battery Management System (BMS) and prismatic Lithium cells inside the battery. For this to happen, you MUST USE cable of the correct guage. Consider current like plumbing... The thicker the pipe (cable) the more current can flow through it.
Section 4 - Protecting Your Battery Lithium batteries cannot be protected effectively by monitoring voltage due to their ability to maintain a higher voltage for much longer than AGM or flooded/sealed batteries. “State of Charge” (SOC%) percentage is the most accurate and effective method of disconnecting loads from the battery - this requires a battery monitor which uses a “shunt” to measure the current going into (Charging) and coming out of (Discharging) the battery.
Section 5 - Restarting Your Battery We strongly recommend keeping the battery charged to avoid activating the internal low battery voltage disconnect. If your DC system shuts down, the battery may require re-starting. Please use the following procedure: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Section 6 - Using the Smart Phone Battery Monitor The Enerdrive B-TEC Lithium Battery incorporates a Smart Phone Monitoring system.
Section 7 - Warnings Please read and follow the cautions listed on the battery before installation. Improper use may cause heat, fire, rupture, damage or capacity deterioration of the battery. Enerdrive Pty Ltd is not responsible for any accidents cause by the usage without following our specification. The battery has a low voltage disconnect incorporated for self protection. If the battery is drawn down to the internal low voltage disconnect set point (≤2.8v per cell) the battery will disconnect.
Section 8 - FAQ Q: Can I parallel B-TEC batteries? A. The short answer is yes. The long answer is - if you are drawing large currents, the maximum current delivered will be limited to the maximum instantaneous discharge capacity of one battery. for the 100 & 125Ah batteries this is 100 Amps and for the 200Ah battery, 200 Amps. With low to medium current draw installations (the vast majority of applications) you may never see an issue and your storage capacity will be greatly increased - I.E.
Q: A: Can I series connect B-TEC batteries to achieve higher voltage? No. Enerdrive offers higher voltage Lithium solutions - contact us for details. Q: A: Can I use an Inverter with my B-TEC battery? Of course! We recommend an inverter size of 1000 watts maximum for the 100 &125Ah batteries and 2000 watts maximum for the 200Ah battery. Q: A: Can I install the B-TEC battery in a wet area? It is not recommended - the best environment is a dry, cool, well ventilated area.
