Instruction Manual for Dealers, Installers & Service Personnel
1. Charging Requirements
- Use only a compatible lithium battery charger.
- Recommended charging voltage: 14.4V ±0.2V.
- Never reverse polarity during charging.
- Never charge the battery below 0°C (32°F).
- Do not exceed the specified maximum charging current.
- Avoid prolonged overcharging.
2. Operating Environment
- Recommended discharge operating range: -20°C to 60°C.
- Above 45°C, ensure proper ventilation and heat dissipation.
- Recommended charging range: 0°C to 55°C.
- Recommended humidity: ≤85% RH.
- Avoid condensation and excessive moisture.
3. Storage Requirements
- Recommended storage temperature: 15°C–25°C.
- Acceptable storage range: -20°C to 60°C.
- Store batteries in a dry, clean, and well-ventilated area.
- Keep away from water, heat sources, fire, corrosive materials, and flammable materials.
- Recharge batteries every 2 months during long-term storage.
- For Bluetooth/communication models, monthly maintenance charging is recommended.
- Maintain storage voltage between 13.28V–13.60V.
4. Installation Precautions
- Verify correct positive (+) and negative (-) polarity before connection.
- Ensure all terminals are tightened properly.
- Do not exceed specified terminal torque.
- Keep installation area free from metal debris, dust, and conductive materials.
- Do not install in locations exposed to water immersion.
- Use insulated tools during installation.
5. Safety Warnings
- Do not short-circuit terminals.
- Do not reverse charge or reverse polarity.
- Do not immerse battery in water.
- Do not open or disassemble battery pack.
- Do not weld directly on battery terminals.
- Do not pierce battery with sharp objects.
- Do not drop, crush, or impact battery packs.
- Do not use battery near strong static electricity or magnetic fields.
- Do not overload beyond specified current limits.
6. Inspection Before Use
- Inspect packaging for shipping damage.
- Verify terminals and casing are intact.
- Check for leakage, cracks, swelling, or loose terminals.
- Confirm voltage is within normal operating range.
- Clean dirty or corroded terminals with a dry cloth only.
7. Maintenance Recommendations
- Recharge low batteries promptly.
- Avoid deep discharge and prolonged low-voltage storage.
- Shallow cycling is recommended to maximize cycle life.
- Do not use organic solvents to clean the battery casing.
- Remove battery from service immediately if abnormal conditions occur, including excessive heat, smoke, odor, swelling, discoloration, or leakage.
8. Fire & Emergency Handling
- If battery fire occurs, use dry powder extinguisher or sand.
- If electrolyte contacts eyes or skin, flush immediately with clean water and seek medical attention.
9. Transportation & Disposal
- Do not transport batteries with conductive objects such as tools, jewelry, or metal parts.
- Insulate terminals before disposal.
- Recycle batteries according to local regulations.
10. Dealer / OEM Best Practices
- Keep batteries at partial charge during warehouse storage.
- Perform routine voltage inspection during long-term inventory storage.
- Rotate inventory using FIFO method.
- Record serial numbers and installation dates.
- Ensure alternator and charging systems are lithium-compatible.
- Verify cable sizing and terminal torque.
- Perform final polarity inspection before system startup.
- Conduct operational verification after installation.
