Maintenance Tips
-
Use a Lithium-Compatible Charger – Always charge with a LiFePO4-specific charger to prevent overcharging and damage. Standard lead-acid chargers can overcharge the battery, reducing its lifespan.
-
Maintain Proper Charge Levels – Keep the battery charge between 20% and 100%. Avoid discharges below 10V as this could cause permanent damage to the battery.
-
Temperature Management – LiFePO4 batteries operate best in -4°F to 140°F. Always ensure the battery temperature is above 32°F when charging to ensure maximum performance and prevent damage.
-
Ensure Secure Installation – Properly install and secure the battery to prevent vibrations or movements that could cause internal damage, reducing the battery's longevity.
-
Check and Clean Terminals Regularly – Inspect the battery terminals for corrosion or loose connections. Use dielectric grease to protect against oxidation and ensure a secure, efficient connection.
-
Proper Storage – If storing the battery, keep it at 50-80% charge in a cool, dry place. Disconnect the battery when not in use to prevent parasitic drain.
-
Avoid Jump-Starting with Lead-Acid Batteries – Jump-starting with a traditional lead-acid battery can cause voltage spikes that may damage the Battery Management System (BMS). Always use the appropriate equipment for jump-starting LiFePO4 batteries.
-
Monitor Battery Management System (BMS) – The BMS is designed to protect the battery from overcharging, deep discharges, and overheating. If the BMS initiates a shutdown, allow the system to reset before recharging the battery.
-
Prevent Deep Discharges – While LiFePO4 batteries are better at handling deep discharges than lead-acid batteries, try to avoid draining the battery below 20% to extend its lifespan.
-
Follow Manufacturer's Guidelines – Always follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance and charging practices to keep your PowerTex LiFePO4 battery running efficiently and prolong its life.
