To properly install the iONGEN GTX12V315A-E2107-CS200RV Lithionics Battery, follow these steps:
1. Check the battery for any visible damage such as cracks, dents, or deformation. Ensure that the top surface of the battery and terminal connections are clean, free of dirt and corrosion, and dry.
2. Before installation, turn off the battery power and check that the LED integrated into the Power button is completely off. If the LED is on or blinking, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds until the LED turns off.
3. Lithium batteries do not release gas during normal use, so there are no specific ventilation requirements for battery installation. However, ensure that there is enough airflow to prevent excessive heat build-up.
4. Store and install the battery in a clean, cool, and dry place, away from water, oil, and dirt. Accumulation of these materials on the top surface of the battery can cause current leakage, self-discharge, and possible short circuits.
5. The battery is equipped with two flat threaded terminals designed for a 5/16” or M8 size ring terminal lug. Secure the terminals using the included M8 bolts, flat washers, and lock washers.
6. When using flat washers, place the ring terminal lug in direct contact with the top surface of the power terminal, and then place the washers on top of the lug. Do not place any washers between the battery power terminal and the ring terminal lug, as this could create a high resistance path and cause excessive heating of the connection.
7. Connect the positive and negative battery cables with the correct polarity. Double-check the polarity of the battery circuit to avoid potential equipment and battery damage.
8. Ensure that the battery cables are sized to handle the expected load. Refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) Table 310.15(B)16 for the maximum amperage based on the cable gauge size. Cable lengths over 6 feet may require heavier gauge wire to avoid unacceptable voltage drop.
9. The battery circuit must be properly fused to handle the expected load and not exceed the battery specifications.
10. After installation is complete, turn on the battery power by a short press of the Power button. The LED indicator should come on to confirm the battery's state.
11. Do not connect multiple batteries in series to get higher voltage, as it will damage the internal Battery Management System (BMS).
12. Do not attempt to disassemble the battery, as it could lead to permanent battery damage and void the battery warranty.
