4.4. Espandibilità

The battery supports both series and parallel connections, allowing for flexible system expansion. You can connect up to 4 batteries in series for a 51.2V 100Ah system, or up to 4 batteries in parallel for a 12.8V 400Ah system. For larger energy needs, a 4P4S configuration (16 batteries) can achieve a 51.2V 400Ah system with 20.48KWh of energy.

5. Applicazioni

This versatile battery is ideal for various deep cycle applications:

• Camper, furgoni, Camppersone: Provides reliable power for onboard electronics and appliances.
• Solar Power Storage: Efficiently stores energy from solar panels for off-grid living or backup power.
• Motori elettrici: Suitable for trolling motors with 30-70lbs thrust.

6. Configurazione e installazione

Before connecting the battery, ensure all terminals are clean and free of corrosion. Use the provided M8 screws to secure cable lugs to the battery terminals. Tighten connections firmly to prevent resistance and heat buildup.

For optimal performance and safety, it is recommended to fully charge each battery individually before connecting them in series or parallel. This ensures all batteries are at a balanced state of charge.

7. Istruzioni per la ricarica

The Redodo 12.8V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery should be charged using a 14.6V 20A (0.2C) LiFePO4 battery charger. This typically takes around 5 hours for a full charge. The battery can be fully charged in as little as 1 hour with a 100A charging current.

7.1. Recommended Charging Methods:

• Dedicated LiFePO4 Charger (14.6V 20A)
• Pannello solare con regolatore di carica MPPT
• Generator with AC-DC Converter
• Alternator with DC-DC Charger

8. Collegamento in serie e parallelo

To connect batteries in series or parallel, ensure they are of the same brand, capacity (Ah), and BMS (A). It is crucial that all batteries are at the same state of charge before connecting them. Use appropriate gauge copper cables for connections.

8.1. Collegamento in serie:

Collegare il terminale positivo di una batteria al terminale negativo della successiva. Questo aumenta la tensione totaletage del sistema di batterie.

8.2. Collegamento parallelo:

Connect positive terminals to positive terminals and negative terminals to negative terminals. This increases the total amperage (Ah) of the battery system.

9. Manutenzione

The Redodo LiFePO4 battery is designed for minimal maintenance. However, following these guidelines will help maximize its lifespan:

• Ispezione regolare: Periodically check terminal connections for tightness and signs of corrosion.
• Pulizia: Mantenere la batteria pulita e asciutta. Utilizzare un adamp panno per pulire l'esterno.
• Stoccaggio a lungo termine: If storing the battery for an extended period (more than 3 months), charge it to 50% capacity and store in a cool, dry place (recommended temperature: -10°C to 35°C / 14°F to 95°F). Recharge every 3 months to maintain optimal health.

10. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your battery, refer to the following general troubleshooting steps:

• Nessuna potenza in uscita: Check all cable connections for tightness. Verify the battery voltage is above the minimum discharge voltage. If the battery is in protection mode, disconnect all loads and chargers for 30 minutes to allow the BMS to reset.
• Problemi di ricarica: Ensure your charger is compatible with LiFePO4 batteries and provides the correct voltage (14.6V) and current. Check for any fault indicators on the charger or MPPT controller.
• Low Temperature Cut-off: The BMS will automatically stop charging if the battery temperature drops below 0°C (32°F) to prevent damage. Charging will resume once the temperature rises.
