Green Marine Lithium Battery Guide
The Green Marine Lithium battery chemistry is lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) the safest and most stable of commonly used lithium battery. All Green Marine Lithium batteries come with Battery Management Systems (BMS).

The BMS protects Lithium battery cells against over-charge, under-charge, low and high temperatures surges and short circuiting. The BMS also provides integrated cell balancing, temperature and voltage control. 
The BMS will turn off loads or chargers accordingly to any breach in the pre set parameters within the BMS. 

Each Green Marine Lithium battery has Bluetooth connectivity to allow customers to monitor and control the battery performance and to ensure the battery has the stated capacity.

WARNING: Always keep lithium batteries fully charged when not in use. Ensure lithium batteries are continually topped up whilst in storage and check every week via the Bluetooth app. The BMS consumes power when in storage.

Why insulation is important                                                                                  Insulation resistance needs to be maintained at safe levels to not only shield against loss of production but also to protect against electric shocks to people. When cables, wires and connectors are new, the electrical insulation should be in excellent condition. However, insulation is subject to many effects which can cause it to fail – electrical stresses, mechanical damage, moisture or general ageing. As pinholes or cracks develop, water will penetrate the surfaces of the insulation, providing a low resistance path for current leakage.

DO NOT charge any battery without isolating the battery *
Required
Image example of damage caused failing to isolate batteries.  
Not isolating batteries when charging will cause wires to melt and appliance damage.

Unprotected wires connected to an isolation, dual battery switch can cause battery flattening and wire fires.
