Applications

Exotronic Lithium Batteries are perfect for Caravan/RVs, 4x4s, Marine, backup power and many other applications.
The battery has been vibration tested and is machine sealed for reliable waterproofing. Making this battery particularly suitable for off-road and marine applications and those wanting extra reliability.
Not for under bonnet or cranking/starting applications.

Safety

LiFePO4 is one of the safest types of lithium batteries. This type of lithium has excellent safety in for almost every possible failure such as: Over- discharge, over-charge (to 20V), short-circuit, drop, heating, crush, nail penetration, seawater immersion, thermal cycling, low air pressure.
The casing is made from heavy duty ABS plastic.
The cells used in this battery contain rupture discs designed to release pressure in the cell if a failure occurs, preventing the risk of high pressure developing in the cell and compromising safety.
The most common cause of fire in lithium batteries is caused by over-charging. This is one of the functions the JBD BMS protect against.
BMS Protections Include:

• Discharge/Charge Overcurrent
• Short Circuit
• High/Low Temperature
• High/Low Cell Voltage (Overcharge/ Overdischarge)

Reliability

Using A Grade prismatic aluminium cased LiFePO4 GFB cells.
GFB Lithium produces lithium cells trusted by many manufacturers such as BMW and Volkswagen.
1.2A Active Cell Balancer prevents the cells from out-of-balance events and extends the life of the battery by ensuring the cells wear evenly.

Parallel Connection

Connect up to 4 batteries in parallel to increase capacity

Maintenance

LiFePO4 batteries have no memory effect so are safe to be stored for long periods, only requiring a charge at least once every 3 months.

Lifespan

These cells are designed to last 3,000 cycles at 100% discharge cycles. Typically 10-12 years usage in many applications.

On/Off/Reset Button

• Press the button in to turn on the battery
• Depress the button to turn off the battery
• Press the button twice to reset the battery after a trip, alternatively connect a dark-start capable lithium charger

Bluetooth Smart

The JBD BMS includes Bluetooth, allowing real time viewing of the individual cell voltages, battery temperature, current, state of charge, state of the charge/discharge MOSFETs and alarms.

FAQs

What is the recommended charging voltage for the Exotronic 12V Smart Deep

Cycle LiFePO4 Lithium Battery?

The recommended charging voltage for the Exotronic 12V Smart Deep Cycle LiFePO4 Lithium Battery is typically between 14.0V and 14.2V.

How does the on/off/reset button function?

When on, the battery will charge and discharge normally. When off, the battery will not discharge, but will allow charge. When tripped from low voltage/low state of charge, the button can be pressed twice to revert the BMS back to normal.

Can I use a regular lead-acid battery charger with the Exotronic 12V Smart

Deep Cycle LiFePO4 Lithium Battery?

It is not recommended to use a regular lead-acid battery charger with the Exotronic 12V Smart Deep Cycle LiFePO4 Lithium Battery. A lithium-specific charger with a compatible charging profile is recommended to ensure the battery's optimal performance and longevity. However it is acceptable to use a lead-acid charger provided the bulk/absorption voltage is between 14.0 to 14.2V, the float voltage is 13.6V or less, and the equalisation mode is turned off.

How does the pre-trip audible/visual alarm work at 10% State of Charge?

The pre-trip audible/visual alarm is designed to alert you when the battery's state of charge reaches 10%. The alarm will emit an audible sound and a visual indicator for 60 seconds, reminding you to charge the battery before starting your trip or using it for an extended period.

Is there a low-temperature protection feature in the battery?

Yes, the JBD BMS integrated into the Exotronic 12V Smart Deep Cycle LiFePO4 Lithium Battery includes high/low temperature protection.

How do I store the battery when not in use for an extended period?

When storing the Exotronic 12V Smart Deep Cycle LiFePO4 Lithium Battery for an extended period, it is recommended to store it in a cool, dry, and well- ventilated area. Ensure the battery is charged to approximately 40-90% state of charge before storage and charge every 3 months.

What problems does the button and alarm solve?

One of the most frequent problems users face is the battery shutting down unexpectedly without any prior warning. This often leaves users confused about the situation. The implementation of the alarm addresses this issue by providing a warning to the user before the battery turns off. This warning allows them the opportunity to reduce the power draw and initiate a recharge.

A secondary, yet significant issue, occurs when the battery is fully depleted and shuts down. Typically, to reactivate a lithium battery from this state, a lithium-compatible charger with a wake-up function is needed. However, the presence of the button simplifies this process. By pressing the button, users can restart the battery, enabling it to accept charge from any charger, not just those with a wake-up function.
