Materials List Materials List Introduction The Xantex Battery base package includes the following items. The Xantrex Lithium-ion Batteries are lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry batteries used in conjunction with the internal Battery Management System (BMS) unit which protects the batteries and monitors state-of-charge (SOC), voltage, current, and temperature.
Installation Tools and Materials Installation Tools and Materials You will need the following to install the Xantex Battery: n Torque wrench n Multimeter n PPE IMPORTANT: A torque wrench is required for correct installation of the batteries. A proper torque of 85-95 in-lb or 1011 N-m is required for correct installation. If too little torque is applied to the electrical connection hardware, it could come loose during transportation or operation of the batteries.
1.0 Checking the Battery 1.0 Checking the Battery Pre-Installation Checklist Check the battery, included hardware, box and the battery cables (if included) for visible damage including cracks, dents, chips, and deformations. Ensure that the battery including its components are labeled. Check Materials List on page 7. Figure 3 Inspecting the battery This section provides a list of pre-installation information about where to install the battery and what protective devices are needed.
3.0 Mounting the Battery Map out the location of your batteries with a simple wire diagram for preplanning purposes. The cables between the batteries and all other components should be as short as possible. Having shorter cables will reduce the voltage drop throughout the system allowing better performance and reliability of your power system. n n Include all the components on your wire diagram, specifically DC protection devices and major connection points.
4.0 Placing the Battery Safely 4.0 Placing the Battery Safely Position the battery and devices that will connect to the battery in a way that the battery cables avoid sharp bends. Follow the bend radius recommendation below. Aside from battery cables, it is good practice to apply the same bend radius to communication cables as well. Figure 5 Bending Radius TIPS: n A cable’s bend radius should be no less than eight (8) times the outside diameter of the cable used.
6.0 Connecting the Battery Cables 6.0 Connecting the Battery Cables WARNING FIRE HAZARD Use only stranded, copper wire rated minimum 75 °C (105 °C for marine installations). Make sure all DC connections are tight to a torque of 85–95 in-lb (10–11 Nm) of force. Loose connections will overheat. Too much torque may crack the battery case. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
Parallel Installation Steps Parallel Installation Steps Parallel Installation This section provides instructions for installing two to four batteries in parallel to increase power capacity for robust applications in your RV, truck, or vessel. This sections contains the following topics: Parallel Installation Steps 13 IMPORTANT: n Batteries must be of the same make, model, and age for all batteries connected in parallel.
5. Then connect the battery positive cables to each other. NOTE: If more than two batteries are being connected, ensure a consistent connection method is used for connecting the batteries. 6. Connect the negative terminal to the negative battery cable. 7. Then connect the battery negative cables to each other. NOTE: If more than two batteries are being connected, ensure a consistent connection method is used for connecting the batteries. 8.
Communication Connector Pin Designations Communication Installation This section contains instructions for other functions that can be used in vehicle systems providing additional performance and usage scenarios. These functions need to be connected through the 12-Pin Deutsch connector.
Custom Harness For custom-made harnesses, the connector port featured in Figure 13 on page 16 is compatible with the plug (product code: DTM06-12SB-XXXX). Table 1 Pin reference guide Pin Function # Description 3 Remote On/Off (Power) Wired in parallel to the switch on the battery case. 4 Remote On/Off (Input) Wired in parallel to the switch on the battery case. 5 Remote LED 3.3VDC Custom Flashing pattern as highlighted in section Interpreting LED Indicators on the Battery and Remote on page 24.
BMS (Battery Management System) Features BMS (Battery Management System) Features Operation This section includes descriptions of the different modes and settings of the Xantrex Lithium-ion Battery.
Monitor Overview Figure 15 Monitor tab Figure 16 Overview tab Setting Description State of Measure of the internal amount of charge in the battery Charge Voltage The internal voltage of the battery pack Current The amount of current flowing through the BMS. (-) Value is a discharge of the battery, (+) Value is a recharge current. Power The amount of power flowing through the BMS. (-) Value is a discharge, (+) Value is recharge. Batt. The temperature of the cells inside of the battery.
SoC (State of Charge) Summary LED The state of charge of the battery can be seen in two different ways. There is a visual representation with three green LEDs. Refer to the table below for exact percentages based upon the LEDs. The summary LED on the remote panel will indicate by way of a steady light or flashing whether the battery is charging or discharging, respectively. If an event is detected, the LED will alert you by changing its flash pattern.
BMS Operations BMS Operations Power Button The Xantrex Lithium-ion Battery has a Power button on the unit that turns the state of the battery to either ON or OFF. c Keep the battery ON after successfully mounting and integrating it into a power system except when storing, moving, or shipping it. NOTE: All below temperatures are based upon measured cell temperatures, not upon ambient temperatures.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance This section will help you narrow down the source of any problem you encounter. Before contacting customer service, please work through the steps listed in Pre-service Checklist on page 22.
Pre-service Checklist Pre-service Checklist WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR BURN HAZARD Do not disassemble the Xantex Battery. It does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Attempting to service the Xantex Battery yourself could result in an electrical shock or burn. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. NOTE: To obtain service go to Contact Information on page 2. Prior to obtaining service, see below: 1.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Event / Error Description Solution Excess charge current Reduce the charging current to the battery from all charging sources. Excess battery load(s) Reduce discharging current from the battery by reducing load consumption. System Short Circuit Disable all battery connected systems and check for a system wide short circuit. Internal battery error Power cycle the battery by turning it OFF and then ON. If the error persists, contact technical support.
