BATTERY STORAGE INFORMATION:
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ:
When storing your Enerdrive lithium battery, even with the main Remote Battery Switch disengaged,
the ePRO PLUS Battery Monitor and Advanced BMS Relay Driver will still be powered, producing a small
constant drain on the lithium battery. Therefore, it is essential that you keep your Enerdrive lithium
battery charged when you are not using your vehicle/vessel. It is the responsibility of the end user to
maintain the Enerdrive lithium battery in a charged state.
Your lithium battery should not be left for more than 30 days without checking its charge state. Enerdrive
recommend that your lithium battery should ideally be checked and charged as often as possible to
maintain maximum life expectancy, especially if you leave any DC loads running. Failure to follow these
requirements could see an early failure of the battery, which is not covered under warranty.
When you are not using your Enerdrive lithium system it is strongly recommended that you
have access to AC power then leave your vehicle/vessel in the sun to allow your solar panels
(if installed) to keep the battery charged.
If you store your vehicle/vessel under cover and you don’t have access to AC power, then you must
prevent the battery from being discharged to a critical, potentially non-recoverable, state of charge.
Before your battery state of charge reaches 24% you must either connect your vehicle/vessel to AC
power or move it into the sun and allow the solar (if installed) to bring the battery up to a reasonable
state of charge. In either case, it would make sense to fully charge your lithium battery to 100% in order
to increase the period of time before you have to repeat this procedure.
If your vehicle/vessel is connected to AC power and is being left unattended for longer than 30 days,
and will not be checked by yourself, we recommend that you either ask someone to check on it regularly
while you are away or follow the long term storage procedure in the following pages.
Long Term Storage Switch
------ Failure to correctly store your lithium batteries will result in early battery failure --------
If you are intending to store your vehicle/vessel for more than 30 days,
it is recommended to shut down the entire DC electrical system. You
This switch is designed to completely isolate the Enerdrive lithium
battery from the DC electrical system, including the ePRO PLUS
battery monitor and Advanced BMS Relay Driver and will prevent
any external discharge of the lithium battery.
