Maintenance Tips

• Maintenance‑Free LiFePO₄ with BMS: Built‑in Battery Management System protects against overcharge, deep discharge, short circuits, and overheating — no watering or routine checks needed.

• Use a LiFePO₄‑Compatible Charger: Only use a charger specified for LiFePO₄ (≈14.2–14.6 V) to avoid overcharging and maximise battery life.

• Avoid Deep Discharges: Keep the battery charge above ~20 % and avoid letting it dip below ~10 V to extend service life.

• Inspect & Clean Terminals: Regularly check for corrosion or loose connections; clean terminals and tighten to ensure solid electrical contact.

• Monitor Voltage: Periodically check voltage with a multimeter (~13.2–13.6 V when charged) to ensure proper performance.

• Secure Mounting: Ensure the battery is firmly mounted to minimise vibration stress on internal components.

• Temperature Awareness: Operate and store within moderate temperatures; avoid extreme cold or heat that can reduce performance.

• Long‑Term Storage: If unused for extended periods, keep at ~50–80 % charge and disconnect to prevent slow self‑discharge.
