A1. We no longer offer our batteries for use in series. Q2. Do your batteries have a thermal management system? A2. All of our batteries have a thermal management system that is controlled by the BMS (Battery Management System). This Thermal management system will not only prevent the battery from being used if the temperature is too high, but also if the temperature is also too low. Q3. Can I use my OEM charger? A3. No. Lead acid battery chargers charge at different currents and voltages than our lithium batteries. Using your OEM charger can damage your battery cells and void your battery’s 10 year warranty. We have several chargers optimized for and calibrated to every battery we sell. Q4. Why does the voltage drop when unplugging the charger? A4. The voltage drop that you experienced is called the “bubble voltage” and is perfectly normal for Lithium Batteries. LiFePO4 batteries behave differently than other battery chemistries. The Voltage vs Capacity is not linear. For example, if you have a voltage between (13.3 – 14.6) or (26.6 – 29.2) or (53.6 – 58.4) you will have more than 99% of the capacity. This essentially means that “Bubble Voltage” contains less than 1% of the entire capacity and the drop when a load is placed is instant. Q5. Can I leave my batteries outside? A5. No. Our batteries are not marine rated or weather proof, so leaving them out under the sun all day or in the rain can damage the batteries. (This type of damage is not covered under the 10 year warranty. Q6. How many years will my battery last? A6. Lithium Iron Phosphate (LifePO4) batteries can be cycled from 3000 to 7000 times. If you cycle the battery daily with an 80% DoD (Depth of Discharge), then you can get even more than 10 years of use from your battery. Q7. How do I install my battery? A7. All of our batteries come with free ring terminals that can be used to connect your battery to your inverter, cart, or busbar system. We also sell a parallel busbar that can be used in tandem with the included ring terminals to parallel multiple batteries. Q8. What is the difference between the 12 A and the Upgraded Charger? A8.  Upgraded Charger: Charging Current: 15A Input Voltage: 110V / 220V Output Voltage: 58.8v Charging Time: 5 h (approx) On-Board Charger: Yes Protection: IP65 12A Charger: Charging Current: 12A Input Voltage: 110 / 22V Output Voltage: 45V,50.4V,58.8V Charging Time: 6.5 h (approx) On-Board Charger: No Protection: IP50 Q9. Doe Big Battery sell used/surplus batteries? A9. In the past Big Battery sold refurbished batteries, such as solar batteries made from recertified Nissan Leaf modules. As of the year 2020, all batteries sold are new, never-previously-cycled batteries that come with a complimentary 10 year warranty. Q10. Do you ship outside of the United States of America? A10. We only ship within the continental United States. All shipping is done via ground shipping methods. We recommend looking into a freight forwarder to receive shipments outside of the continental United States of America.
