Battery maintenance tips

Battery maintenance tips

• Stick to 0-50°C for charging, -20-60°C for discharging to avoid damage.

• Store unused batteries at 50-70% charge in cool, dry spot; cycle every 6-12 months.
• Clean exterior dust gently; no water on IP21 models, fine for IP65.
• Check connections monthly for corrosion or looseness.
• Use only compatible inverters and chargers per spec sheet.
• Monitor voltage/SOC via CAN/RS485 if connected; update firmware remotely.
• Avoid full discharges; let BMS handle protection.
• For long-term storage, disconnect loads and maintain 50% SOC.

• These are mostly maintenance-free thanks to LiFePO4 and built-in systems.

• Inspect for damage like swelling, leaks, or corrosion every 3 months; replace if spotted.
• Balance cells manually if your BMS doesn’t auto-balance, using a balancer during charge.
• Ensure good ventilation; keep batteries away from heat sources to prevent thermal runaway.

• Calibrate SOC by fully charging then discharging every 6 months for accurate readings.
• Use only LiFePO4-specific chargers; set voltage to 3.65V per cell max to avoid overcharge.
• For parallel setups, match battery ages and capacities to prevent imbalance.
• Update BMS firmware via app or CAN if available for better protection features.

• Avoid mixing with other chemistries; stick to pure LiFePO4 systems.
• In cold climates, use heaters if discharging below 0°C to maintain performance.
