160ah lifepo4 cell LFP Lithium Li Ion 3.2V 160Ah LiFePO4 Battery Cell for EV

Advantages of LFP

These battery cells are suitable for all traction applications including electric vehicles. Fully complies also for stationary applications - such as energy storage.
There is no Selfdischarging effect.
Can be recharged at any state of discharge - no memory effect
LiFePO4 is a very safe technology, not spontaneous combustion, does not react with moisture or with oxygen.

Lithium cells and batteries LiFePO4 (LFP) – LiFeYPO4 (LFYP)

WARNING: Always check the technical specification of the cells and other products BEFORE the installation. Check the voltage, polarity, dimensions, mechanical shape, the proper design of the terminals, etc. Be sure to report any strange conditions to us BEFORE the operation and installation of the cell or other product. We will be happy to provide support for any irregular situation.

Initial charging
New batteries LFP/LFYP are partly charged from factory. However, before first use it is absolutely necessary to charge the battery to full capacity. This initial charging should be done at maximum current of 1C and the voltage level according to the specification of the cell or battery. Please see specifications of the cell about value of initial charging. Battery capacity in the first cycle gradually grows. In the first few cycles is recommended to avoid rapid discharge to the minimum capacity and we do not recommend quick charging. After about the fifth, sixth cycle, is nothing to prevent the batteries used in full operating cycle according to the manufacturer's specifications for the type of battery.

Standard charging
Because LiFePO4 batteries has no memory effect, charging can be done at any time. Repeated short charge cycles the battery life not significantly changed (within + / - 5%).

Discharging
WARNING: Carefully check the minimum voltage as specified cells or batteries. Discharging below this voltage will damage the battery and void the warranty.
Maximum discharging currents for single cells or batteries are listed in the manufacturer's specifications for the type of cell.

Battery and cell checking

Battery check and match any individual cell or battery is done by charging the cells in series, connecting the charger to each individual battery. Checking the battery status and any match is recommended to perform these intervals (ie, discharge / charge cycle):
first charge
after the first cycle
after the 5 cycles
after the 20 cycles
after the 50 cycles
possibly followed by further the anomalies detected about once every 50 to 200 cycles

The rules for use and storage of batteries
Protect from improper handling.
Do not insert with opposite polarity, follow the signs. If the batteries are inserted in reverse, can cause a short-circuit or charging.
Prevent short-circuiting. If possitive (+) and negative (-) battery terminals are connected, short-circuiting happens.
Before installing, clean the terminals of battery and the terminals facilities.
The LiFePO4 should be always mounted with the terminals facing upwards.
Do not heat excessively. – batteries operate at temperatures according to the specifications.
Do not weld the cells.
Do not disassemble. When open may be contact with different parts of the battery harmful.
Do not distort. Batteries should not be compressed, punctured or damaged in any way.
Do not dispose of in fire.
Do not expose to water or excessive humidity.
Keep away from children. Beyond their reach, it is necessary first of all to keep away batteries which can be swallowed. In addition, children should not be allowed replacement of batteries without adult supervision.
Do not incase or modify. Any modifying of the battery may cause block safety ventilation mechanism. Any adjustments should consult the dealer.
Unused batteries should be stored charged and keep them away from metal subjects, which can make short-circuiting the battery. Alreary unpackage units should not be mixed and stored with unused batteries.
Avoid extreme humidity (over 95%) High temperature or humidity may worsening of battery characteristics and / or corrosion of the surface.
Do not storage / expose the battery to direct sunlight, in places where they may be exposed to rain, excessive heat such as radiators or heaters.
Batteries stored in well-ventilated and dry environment, ideally enclosed in a protective case.
During storage, keep the temperature within the range according to the specifications of a particular article.
Do not mix with other materials.
Do not stack cardboard box with batteries. When stacking may cause deformation of the battery in the lower layers and the subsequent flow of electrolyte.
For additional transportation / handling and packing materials, choose the method of packaging to prevent unintentional electrical contact and corrosion terminals, providing protection against environmental influences and mechanical damage.
Considerate handling of the boxes. Rough handling can cause a short circuit or damage.
Ensure proper circulation of stocks, follow FIFO system (First In, First Out).
Check the voltage of the cell every 2 month. Charge the cell if the voltage dropped to a minimum value of voltage
