User Guide

Step-by-step instructions for safely installing, configuring and maintaining your Electronium LiFePO₄ battery system.

⚠️ Safety Precautions

⚠️ Important: Read all safety instructions before installation. Incorrect wiring can damage the battery, inverter, or cause injury, electric shock, or fire.
  • !
    Qualified Installation Only — installation, wiring, and servicing must only be performed by trained, qualified personnel.
  • !
    No Reverse Polarity — always connect Positive (+) to Positive (+) and Negative (−) to Negative (−). Never reverse polarity.
  • !
    Switch Off Before Wiring — always switch the battery OFF before connecting or disconnecting any cables, and never short-circuit the terminals.
  • !
    Ventilated, Dry Location — install in a well-ventilated, dry location out of reach of children; never open the enclosure, which has no user-serviceable parts inside.
  • !
    Series Connection Restricted — only battery models explicitly approved by Electronium for series operation should ever be connected in series; combining non-approved models in series may cause permanent damage and voids the warranty. See Series Connection below.

🔌 Wiring Guide

Critical: Never connect or disconnect power cables while the battery switch or inverter is energised — always de-energise the circuit first.

Safe Connection Procedure (Single Battery to Inverter)

  • 1
    Wear insulated safety gloves. Wrap the positive and negative cable ends with insulating tape to prevent accidental short circuits.
  • 2
    Unscrew the positive terminal cover, connect the positive wire, and refit the protective cover.
  • 3
    Unscrew the negative terminal cover, connect the negative wire, and refit the protective cover.
  • 4
    At the inverter end, connect the positive wire, then the negative wire, and refit the inverter's terminal covers.
  • 5
    Turn ON the battery's main air switch.
  • 6
    Press and activate the battery's power switch.
  • 7
    Wait at least one minute, then power on the inverter.
General wiring rules: tighten all terminal connections to the recommended torque value, use correctly sized cable for the expected current, and install a suitable DC breaker or fuse between the battery and the inverter/load.

🔗 Inverter Connection

Electronium batteries communicate with a wide range of inverter brands over CAN and/or RS485. Always verify compatibility with your specific inverter model/firmware and select the matching protocol in the battery's communication settings before first use.

Commonly Used Inverters

  • Deye — CAN / RS485
  • Growatt — RS485 / CAN
  • Sofar Solar — CAN
  • Voltronic — RS485
  • Victron Energy — CAN
  • Pylontech, GoodWe, Solax Power, Sungrow, SMA, and 25+ other brands — see the full compatibility table on our Manual Details page.

If your inverter brand isn't listed, contact Electronium technical support with your inverter's make and model — a matching communication protocol can often be supplied.

📱 Battery Monitoring & the Electronium Link App

Electronium batteries can be monitored through several channels simultaneously:

  • 📶
    Electronium Link app via Bluetooth — local monitoring, available on all models
  • 📡
    Electronium Link app via WiFi — remote monitoring with the optional WiFi module
  • 🖥️
    On-unit LCD touch screen — selected models, shows real-time status even without networked monitoring
  • 🔗
    Inverter display — via CAN or RS485 communication

What You Can Monitor

  • 📊
    Individual cell voltages, overall pack voltage, and charge/discharge current
  • 🌡️
    Cell, MOS, and environment temperature readings across multiple sensor points
  • 🔋
    SOC (State of Charge), remaining capacity, and full-capacity calibration
  • ⚙️
    Active alarms, protections, and faults — plus firmware version and hardware info on the LCD Setup page
Note: The JK Smart BMS automatically manages protection thresholds. Do not attempt to bypass or disable protection features — only qualified personnel should modify protection parameters.

💡 LED Indicator Guide

Models without an LCD screen provide status feedback via 6 LEDs: four green SOC/capacity indicators (SOC1–SOC4), one red alarm indicator (ALM), and one green running indicator (RUN).

  • 🟢
    Charging — Normal: LEDs fill upward, top LED blinks, RUN is solid on, ALM is off.
  • 🟢
    Discharging — Normal: LEDs show SOC level, RUN blinks fast, ALM is off.
  • 🟡
    Alarm Active: ALM blinks fast alongside the normal charging/discharging pattern — check the app for the specific fault.
  • 🔴
    Failure / Protection Engaged: SOC LEDs all off, ALM solid on, RUN off — disconnect and check the alarm log before reconnecting.

🔄 Parallel Battery Setup (Multi-Pack)

Up to 16 Electronium batteries of the same model can be connected in parallel through the dedicated battery parallel communication bus (not the inverter CAN/RS485 port) to build larger energy banks.

Before parallel connection: use identical battery models only (same capacity, voltage, and firmware), and bring all batteries to the same SOC first. Never connect batteries' positive and negative terminals directly to each other — always use a busbar or main power line.
  • 1
    Assign each battery a unique address using its internal DIP switches (#1–#4 in binary). Address 0 is always the host (Pack 0); all others are slaves.
  • 2
    Link batteries pack-to-pack via the dedicated RS485 parallel port, forming a daisy chain from the host through each slave pack.
  • 3
    The host pack communicates with the inverter over CAN or RS485, summarizing data from every slave pack in the chain.
  • 4
    DIP switches #5–#6 (host unit only) select the inverter communication protocol family; on slave packs, #5–#6 must remain OFF.
  • 5
    Keep the length of each power cable to the busbar consistent, so current is shared evenly across all units.

➕ Series Connection

Approved models only: only battery models explicitly approved by Electronium for series operation should be connected in series — incorrect series connection, or combining non-approved models, may cause permanent battery damage and will void the warranty.
  • Use identical battery models and firmware versions only.
  • Ensure all batteries are at equal SOC before connecting in series.
  • Contact Electronium technical support before attempting a series configuration.

🛠️ Maintenance, Storage & Transportation

Monthly Inspection Checklist

  • Check that all terminal connections remain tight and corrosion-free.
  • Inspect wiring for wear, chafing, or heat damage, and clean dust from ventilation openings.
  • Verify pack voltage and cell balance via the Electronium Link app or LCD display, and check for any historical alarms.
  • No water topping or electrolyte maintenance is ever required — Electronium LiFePO₄ batteries are maintenance-free by design.

Storage

  • Store at 20%–60% State of Charge (SOC) for any period of non-use, in a dry location away from direct sunlight (25°C ± 3°C recommended).
  • Recharge at least once every 3 months, and perform one complete charge/discharge cycle every 6 months during long-term storage.

Transportation

  • Transport in the original packaging whenever possible; avoid impact, vibration, rain, and moisture.
  • Confirm the battery is fully disconnected before transport, with no charge/discharge current flowing.
  • If a unit is dropped, exposed to water, or otherwise damaged in transit, isolate it and have it inspected by a qualified professional before use.

🔍 Troubleshooting

?

Battery not charging

Confirm a LiFePO₄-compatible charger profile is used (never a Lead-Acid profile); check the app/LCD for active alarms; verify temperature is within the 0°C–55°C charging range; inspect and re-tighten wiring.

?

Battery not discharging

Check the alarm log for an active BMS protection or over-current condition; reduce connected load; inspect and re-tighten terminals.

?

Battery not detected by app/inverter

Check cable seating; verify the protocol selection matches your inverter brand; move closer for Bluetooth pairing.

?

Cells show large voltage difference

Allow time for the JK Smart BMS balancing function to complete; if the condition persists, contact Electronium support.

?

Firmware upgrade fails or stalls

Confirm the firmware code matches your hardware version; reconnect and retry rather than interrupting mid-upgrade.

Common Error / Protection Categories

Over-Voltage / Under-Voltage

Stop charging or discharging as applicable; recharge promptly if under-voltage.

Over-Current / Short Circuit

Reduce load or charge current; disconnect immediately if a short is detected and inspect wiring before reconnecting.

Over-Temperature / Under-Temperature

Move to a cooler, better-ventilated location, or allow the battery to warm to the rated range before charging.

Communication Fault

Check cable connections and confirm the correct protocol/address settings.
