Features & Protection Systems
Built-in Battery Management System (BMS): The integrated BMS provides comprehensive protection including over-charge protection, over-discharge protection, over-current protection, short circuit protection, and high/low temperature protection. The BMS monitors individual cell voltages and temperatures to ensure safe operation.
Self-Heating System: The battery includes an internal self-heating element that enables charging in temperatures below 0°C (32°F). The heating system activates automatically when charging is attempted in cold conditions, allowing the battery to charge safely down to -20°C (-4°F) discharge temperature.
Bluetooth Monitoring: The battery includes built-in Bluetooth connectivity compatible with iOS and Android devices. The monitoring app displays real-time voltage, current, state of charge, cycle count, individual cell voltages, and temperature data.
IP67 Waterproof Rating: The battery case is rated IP67 for protection against dust ingress and temporary water immersion (up to 1 meter depth for 30 minutes), making it suitable for marine and outdoor applications per manufacturer specifications.
