Battery Usage & Care Guide
Bluetooth Applications
This battery includes a built-in Battery Management System (BMS), accessible via a mobile app, allowing you to monitor:
State of Charge (SOC)
Cell Temperatures
Individual Cell Voltages
Recommended Apps:
iPhone: BMS Tool – Apple App Store
Android: ANT BMS – APKCombo
⚠️ Note: Battery percentage may fluctuate slightly while idle during early usage as the BMS calibrates to the actual capacity.
Charging
Charging Time: Approximately 3 hours from completely flat.
Instructions:
Insert both charging leads.
Power on the charger.
Press the button in on the battery to begin charging.
🔋 This battery has been destructively tested to UN38.3 safety standards. However, we highly recommend charging:
Under supervision
Away from sleeping areas
Near a smoke detector
Charging via Car Inverter:
Must be a pure sine wave inverter
Minimum power rating: 1000W
Equivalent to a 250Ah 12V battery
Best suited for long drives due to high energy demand
Usage
The battery may warm slightly during operation due to internal resistance.
In the BMS app:
T1 & T2 show internal cell temperatures.
A temperature increase of ~20°C during use is normal.
Battery Longevity Tips:
Avoid activities that shorten battery life, including:
Storing fully charged or fully empty
Storing in hot environments or direct sunlight
Repeated deep-water starts with poor technique
Long-duration high-speed runs (e.g., towing or follow modes)
⚠️ If your sessions last under 1 hour, the battery has been working hard and aging faster.
Storage
Store between 40–60% state of charge
Keep in a cool, dry location
Avoid direct sunlight
Cleaning
Use a mild detergent and soft cloth
Do not submerge
