OPERATION
The BMS prevents battery operation outside of specified operating conditions. Understand each of these protections and how to set up the system accordingly. Refer to the table in the Protection Specifications topic.
NOTICE |

VOID WARRANTY Intentional bypassing of the BMS to operate the battery outside maximum and minimum limits void the warranty. Failure to follow these instructions may result in equipment damage. |
Starting the Battery
For the steps on starting the battery, refer to Battery Startup Procedure.
Low Voltage Cut-Off
As controlled by the application, program the low voltage cut-off at or above the Low Voltage Disconnect in as shown in Electrical Specifications. This action disconnects the load before the BMS enters low-voltage protection.
State of Charge
A voltage-based battery meter designed for lead-acid batteries will not provide an accurate state-of-charge (SOC) for lithium batteries. The LYNK II Communication Gateway (950-0025), available from Discover, can be used to communicate an accurate state of charge to other devices.
NOTICE |

BATTERY DAMAGE Storing or leaving the battery at 0% SOC will lead to irreversible damage and void the warranty. Failure to follow these instructions may result in equipment damage. |
