Maintenance Tips
-
Inspect terminals monthly: Keep connections clean, dry, and tight to ensure optimal conductivity and prevent corrosion.
-
Charge properly: Use only the approved charger. Avoid deep discharges—recharge at 20–30% to maximize cycle life.
-
Temperature care: Operate and store the battery in a cool, dry environment; avoid extreme heat, freezing temps, and direct sunlight.
-
Balance charge periodically: Complete a full balance charge every 1–2 months to keep cells evenly charged and performing at peak efficiency.
-
Monitor BMS alerts: Check for error codes, temperature warnings, or voltage irregularities. Address abnormalities immediately.
-
Protect the housing: Inspect for cracks, swelling, or impact damage. Ensure cables and connectors remain free of frays or stress.
-
Avoid overload: Do not exceed recommended continuous discharge limits; high-load spikes can shorten overall lifespan.
