Common Issues with Lithium Battery Systems

Obtain solutions for off-grid energy storage systems from professional engineers.

Installation & Configuration

?How to properly connect solar panels?

Solar input connection notes:

  • Ensure PV panel output voltage is within 15-36V range
  • Use reverse-polarity protected MC4 connectors
  • Positive/negative terminals must be correctly aligned
  • Recommended to install DC circuit breaker for maintenance
  • Allow voltage margin as cloudy weather may cause voltage spikes
?What battery types are supported?

Battery compatibility:

  • Supports 5-15S lithium battery packs (15-45V)
  • Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) cells recommended
  • Single pack maximum capacity: 1920Wh
  • Parallel connections require voltage matching
  • Built-in BMS automatically balances cell voltages

Usage & Maintenance

?How to extend battery lifespan?

Battery care recommendations:

  • Avoid deep discharge (automatic protection below 10.2V)
  • Charging voltage not exceeding 14.4V
  • Maintain 50% charge for long-term storage
  • Operating temperature: -20℃~45℃
  • Perform full charge-discharge cycle every 3 months
?How to calculate maximum load?

Load capacity specifications:

  • Continuous output ≤120W
  • Peak power (5 seconds): up to 150W
  • Calculate total power when using multiple devices
  • Typical load examples:
    • Laptop (60W) + phone charging (10W)
    • Mini fridge (80W) standalone use
    • LED lighting (20W) ×6 units

Application Scenarios

?What off-grid solar applications are suitable?

Typical use cases:

  • Home energy storage: 300W solar panel meets basic needs
  • Outdoor power: 1920Wh version powers fridge for ~24h
  • Surveillance system: 5W camera continuous power for 15 days
  • Emergency backup: Supports critical medical equipment
  • Power tools: Drives DC motors below 45V
?How to choose appropriate capacity?

Capacity selection guide:

  • 320Wh: 30 phone charges + 8h laptop power
  • 960Wh: 12h mini fridge + basic lighting
  • 1920Wh: Home emergency power or 50km e-bike range
  • Recommend 20% reserve capacity for cloudy days

Safety Protection

?What protection mechanisms are included?

Multi-layer safety features:

  • Overcharge protection: Auto cutoff at ≥14.4V
  • Over-discharge protection: Stops discharge at ≤10.2V
  • Short-circuit protection: Auto shutdown when output shorted
  • Temperature protection: Adjusts charge/discharge for extreme temps
  • Reverse polarity protection: Input/output anti-reverse design
?How to resolve protection lockout?

Reset procedure:

  1. Disconnect all input/output connections
  2. Wait 30 seconds for system reset
  3. Check trigger cause (overvoltage/undervoltage/overheat)
  4. Reconnect after troubleshooting
  5. Contact technical support if repeatedly triggered
