Low speed lithium battery installation

Should lithium-ion batteries be used for propulsion?

Where lithium-ion batteries are to be used for propulsion, the design and capacity of the electrical energy storage system should be appropriate for the intended operation of the vessel, including capacity for an energy reserve, such as higher power demand in adverse weather or for emergency operations.

How should lithium ion batteries be handled?

8.2 Lithium-ion batteries should be safely handled, and this includes but is not limited to, never throwing batteries in a fire or exposing to high temperatures, not exposing batteries to strong oxidisers, not exposing batteries to mechanical shock and puncture from sharp objects and never disassembling, modifying or deforming batteries.

Can I connect a lithium battery to my motorhome?

You may find that connecting to the battery will help with any setup changes. You can find our app here: Installing a lithium battery in your motorhome, caravan, or van can significantly improve your power supply, providing reliable energy for your adventures.

What is a fortress lithium battery?

Fortress Lithium Battery issafe, easy to install, consistently reliable, highly efficient. It provides you the lowest lifetime energy cost. This installation manual contains information concerning important procedures and features of Fortress Power Lithium batteries.

How much charge should a lithium ion battery have?

Generally, lithium-ion batteries are charged between 20% and 90% to avoid any uncertainties in the measurement of state of charge, both of which can destabilise the battery causing failure of the electrodes and possible thermal runaway. Therefore, the battery system should be designed to prevent over charging and discharging.

Do lithium batteries need airflow?

Lithium batteries don't need much airflow as they don't vent gases, but we still recommend keeping some space around them as they will get warm when charged and discharged heavily. 5.
