The battery includes charging and discharging protection, MOSFETs inside will cut-off the power if more then 30A is applied for longer than 30 seconds. It will also disconnect the battery if it is being overcharged, and will not power a load if it is being over discharged. Separately controlled MOSFETs will only prevent one or the other at a time, so you can still charge it is it is too low, but you will not be able to discharge it, and vise versa. Charge will disconnect if any cell reaches 3.9V, and reconnect when the voltage drops to 3.7V. Discharge will disconnect when any cell reaches 2.45V, but it will still charge. This battery is a ready to go solution for any application with a continuous load of under 30 A.

LED indicator guide

• Green Quick (0.5s): Idle, all good.
• Green Long (1s): Charging or discharging, all good.
• Yellow(looks like red and green): Charge level less than %20SoC recharge immediately, or battery is near thermal limit and is close to overheating.
• Red: Low Charge level or issue with the battery or BMS. See Low Voltage Recharge instructions.
• No Light: Battery charge depleted to %0 and BMS shut off. See Low Voltage Recharge instructions.

Low Voltage Recharge instructions:

You will need a power supply with adjustable voltage and current in order to properly recharge the battery. Other charges may work, but it is no guarantee because the battery BMS will fight it. It is not recommended to hook up a charged 12V to the battery terminals, it will cause the BMS to shut off from an overcurrent fault and will diminish the life of the batteries significantly if charged with a lot of current while at a low charge level. Apply a charge of around 2A at 14V. The BMS will flash RED/GREEN for a few seconds and begin to allow a small charge of current through. After the cells reach a voltage above 2.7V, the charge limit will be removed and light turns green.  Allow the voltage to rise to 11V before increasing the current. If it does not begin charging after 1 min of the power supply being hooked up, it might have a cell or BMS issue.

BMS will automatically balance the cells within one module during the top of the charge. Will not balance between modules when hooked up in series, only in parallel. If wiring these modules in series, please see the balancer we have listed to keep your batteries balanced. You would need the 12V version, one for every module you have in series.
