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 n Wire stripper n Crimping tool IMPORTANT: A torque wrench is required for correct installation of the batteries. A proper torque of 60±3 in-lb (or 6.7±0.35 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 3.0 Mounting the Battery Select a location for the battery that is stable, clean, cool, dry, and wellventilated. n n n Maintain an ideal operating ambient temperature range of 59 to 77°F (15 to 25°C). Temperatures below this range can reduce system performance. Temperatures above this range can reduce battery cell life and reduce system performance.
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 to the Rebling connector terminals (see Figure 9 below) are tight to a torque of 60±3 in-lb (or 6.7±0.35 N-m) of force. Loose connections will overheat. Too much torque may crack the Rebling connector terminals. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
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.
Parallel Installation Steps Parallel Installation Steps IMPORTANT: n Batteries must be of the same make, model, and age for all batteries connected in parallel. n Before connecting batteries together, verify independently using a multimeter that each battery is charged to 100% SoC. The open terminal voltage should be within 0.05VDC of each other at the point of connection. This procedure helps ensure that there is minimal current flow and sparking between batteries.
Parallel Installation Steps 6. Then connect the battery positive cable from the second Rebling connector to the common positive bus. NOTE: If more than two batteries are being connected, ensure a consistent connection method is used for connecting the batteries. 7. Connect the battery negative terminal from the first Rebling connector to the common negative bus. 8. Then connect the negative positive cable from the second Rebling connector to the common negative bus.

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.
Deutsch Connector Pin Designations 12 12 11 10 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 12 1 7 8 The pins should only be connected to devices on an as-needed basis. The Xantex Battery will function without having the communication ports externally connected to the battery. The Deutsch connector harness is available using product code (PN: 881-0262-12-02). Contact Xantrex or your Xantrex dealer to order.
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 14 Monitor tab Figure 15 Overview tab Setting Description Setting Description State of Measure of the internal amount of charge in the battery Charge Voltage The internal voltage of the battery pack Device Model Name Product Serial Number Hardware Version Unique hardware ID The serial number of the battery Internal revision of the battery Current The amount of current flowing through the BMS. (-) Value is a discharge of the battery, (+) Value is a recharge current.
BMS Operations Summary LED Indicator Booting/Processing: Slow falshing, two-second duration n ON < 30 Seconds : 100% brightness n ON > 30 Seconds : 10% brightness (reduced light for comfort) n Event/Error: Defined by related flash pattern Pressing the button will return LED to 100% brightness. The same will happen when an event or error is detected. BMS Operations n Power Button Power push button for ON | OFF | MAINTENANCE.
Hot Ambient Temperature Operation The Xantex Battery can operate up to 131 °F (55 °C) while recharging or discharging the battery. During hot temperature operation, if the internal cell temperature reaches above the high operational range, the BMS will disconnect the cells from the terminals until the internal temperature has dropped 4 °F (~2 °C) below the cutoff point. This prevents damage to the cells and the over cycling of the BMS.
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 24.
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 NOTE: If a battery has three of the same error in a span of five minutes, the battery will lockout on the third error detection. The solution is to fully power cycle the battery to clear the lockout error. 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.
