lifepo4 48v 50ah lithium ion battery.Precautions for using lithium-ion batteries in RVs

　　1. When the battery is not used for a long time, be sure to turn off all power sources on the RV and check if the battery still has discharge current. If all electrical appliances are not turned off, even a small power can deplete the battery. Although the battery has built-in over discharge protection function, long-term zero battery use can seriously affect the battery life.

　　Suggestion: Before parking and sealing, carefully check if the power is turned off and charge the battery every three months.

　　2. If there is any odor, noise, smoke, or even fire in the battery, all personnel should leave the site as soon as they notice it and immediately call the insurance company.

　　3. Battery storage: The environment for storing lithium-ion batteries should be kept dry. It is not allowed to place the battery in areas where water leakage may occur, such as on the ground, to prevent heating leaks and short circuits in the battery pack caused by window water ingress during rain. The battery pack should be kept away from combustible, flammable, and explosive materials, and new and old batteries should be stored separately.

　　4. The battery pack storage area should have a D-level fire extinguisher and respirator.

　　There are two main types of battery heating:

　　1、 Heating during battery discharge refers to abnormal heating of the battery during use;

　　2、 It is the battery that heats up during charging. The reasons for abnormal heating of batteries vary under different circumstances.

　　1. Reason for battery discharge heating: Discharge too fast, possibly due to low battery capacity and discharge current exceeding 0.5C for a long time. It is emphasized that after a short distance driving, although the battery consumes a certain amount of electricity, it undergoes a recovery process after being stationary, and the electrochemical process of the electrode plate continues. Therefore, the voltage will rise slightly, but it does not mean that the capacity will rise; On the contrary, during long-distance driving without stopping, the electrification of the electrode plate and the consumption of electrical energy occur simultaneously, which can lead to three situations:

　　① When the rated voltage of the motor is low, the battery capacity is small, and the working current is too high, the voltage will sharply decrease, and the capacity will be quickly consumed, which is the most unfavorable for the battery.

　　② The electrochemical reaction speed of the battery can only maintain driving, and there is no chance for the battery to recover or gasp. It often undergoes full cycle charging and discharging, which can lead to excessive consumption if not paid attention. When encountering uphill winds, the power consumption is very high, forcing the battery plates to react rapidly. The high heat of the battery shell can damage the battery, shorten its lifespan, and indicate that the capacity is not abundant.

　　③ Ideally, the electrochemical reaction rate of the battery can provide sufficient electrical energy calmly. The shell of the battery has no abnormal heat, indicating that the battery capacity is surplus.

　　Only the last of the three situations is ideal for long-distance driving. It should be noted that the outer shell of the battery is noticeably hot, and the heat of the internal battery itself is even higher.

　　2. The reason for the heating during battery charging: During the charging process, a portion of the electrical energy is converted into chemical energy, while another portion is converted into thermal and other energy. Heating of rechargeable batteries is a normal phenomenon, but when the temperature is high, it is necessary to promptly check whether the charging current is too high or if there is a short circuit inside the battery.

　　The relationship between heat generation and electrolyte quantity is relatively small. For example, when the electrolyte quantity of sealed batteries is low, the internal resistance increases, which can also cause the battery to heat up and the terminal voltage during charging is very high. Aging of batteries, drying of electrolyte, and internal short circuits can also cause heating. The charger cannot maintain a constant voltage during the later stage of charging, which can cause the battery voltage to exceed the allowable value, resulting in an increase in temperature and, in severe cases, swelling, and the end of its lifespan.

　　During use, try not to lay it horizontally or upside down to prevent a large amount of gas generated inside the battery from being discharged smoothly from the vent valve, especially during charging, otherwise it may cause the shell to burst.
