SAFETY
Installers and users are responsible for familiarising themselves with this manual.
The LiFe Premium Series batteries use a high grade Cylindrical Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP)
cells which are robust and reliable in higher ambient temperatures, have a long service life and
with no heavy metals are fully recyclable.
Each LiFe Premium Series battery has an internal Battery Management System (BMS) that
provides protection against Over and Under Voltage, Over Current, Over Temperature and Short
Circuit as well extended service life through managing cell string balancing.
Each battery has a 2 pole non polarised circuit breaker, status indicator light, volt free alarm
contact and high quality Amphenol SurLok DC connections for safe and easy installation.
Installation should be by qualified and experienced installers who can specify the correct cables
and DC bus arrangement, external circuit protection, polarity checking and suitability of the design
for the installation.
Transportation
Lithium Ferro Phosphate Batteries are classed as Dangerous Goods (DG) Class 9 UN3480.
