Once the battery is securely installed and electrically
connected it will automatically be available for use. The
internal BMS will actively ensure the battery is protected
and operating safely at all times. The battery requires no
user interface or intervention under normal conditions.
The Slimline lithium battery voltage can be monitored by
installing an external display, such as our remote voltage monitor shown right.
Note that unlike lead acid batteries, lithium batteries hold their voltage over the cycle, dropping off
only when the battery is ~90% discharged, as indicated in Figure 6 for illustrative purposes.

The Slimline battery voltages below are a useful guide:
1. A normal full battery open circuit voltage (Voc) with no load rests at 13.3V to 13.6V;
2. Depending on the load voltage may dip 0.5V below the Voc;
3. Below 13V Voc the battery is low, and should be charged to promote a long lifespan.
4. Below 12V Voc the battery is close to empty, and should be charged straight away;
5. Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) is set at ~10.5V.
