KEDRON® LiFePO4 Battery Guide
With exceptional cycle life, our new LiFePO4 batteries weigh about 50% less than lead-acid equivalents. They handle deep cycling and prolonged storage without damage.
BMS Safety Architecture
The internal Battery Management System (BMS) provides robust protection to ensure safe operation. Features include:
Standard Guards
Overcharge, Discharge, and Overcurrent logic.
Thermal & Circuit
Overtemperature, Reverse polarity*, and Short-circuit* protection.
*Activation of these protections may damage the battery. Ensure proper connections.
Failure to use the correct charging profile can result in damage not covered under warranty.
Successful Project Planning
- Charge to 100% SOC individually before first use/connection.
- Max 4 batteries in series and 4 in parallel. No combined strings.
- Ensure terminal connections are torqued to 7.7Nm (68 IN-lbs).
- Use correctly sized cables and protect with adequate fusing.
Prohibited Actions
- ⛔ NEVER exceed max charge/discharge currents.
- ⛔ Locate in dry, ventilated areas away from heat/sunlight.
- ⛔ NEVER expose the battery to water.
- ⛔ Stop use immediately if battery becomes hot or changes shape.

Management & Storage
BMS Reset Procedure
Apply a LiFePO4 charge source (>1A) to reset a disengaged BMS.
Low Voltage Preservation Weeks in a low-voltage cutoff state will permanently damage cells.
4+ Weeks - Discharge to ~50% SOC and store cool/dry.
6+ Months - Full charge/discharge cycle every 6 months.
