Theory of Operation:
The heater kit is a convecting type heating system internal the battery or module that applies and average of 30 Watts per hour (at -4F/-20C continuous ambient temperatures) and is controlled by a thermostat. The thermostat maintains the lithium cell/core to a temperature between 35 and 40 degrees fahrenheit. This permits sub-freezing charging operations.

NOTE: NOT AVAILABLE FOR STANDARD SERIES BATTERIES.

Type 2:
$488.24 USD

Type 2 Lithium-ion Battery Heater Kit Options:

Note: The Type 1 heater kit option is now discontinued.

Type 2 Available on the Advanced Series or Standard Series BMS
-This version uses a separate solid-state thermostat that is located adjacent to the lithium core and is separate from the BMS thermostat, this there is an upcharge for this version.
-The module (external BMS model) or battery (internal BMS model) will have a 2-pin Delphi Weatherpack connector or "dongle" exiting the case. There are 2 ways to power the thermostat and heater kit:
1. Bring the positive and negative connection points back to the DC common bus. Thus, if DC power sources are available, the thermostat is powered. Use this feature when using the batteries.
2. The Type 2 kit affords the user the ability to turn the battery off, placing it into storage mode, and to use an AC to DC power supply (example attached on the PDF) to bring a simple extension cord from an AC plug and power the thermostat in "storage mode" through the winter season. You may purchase the power supply from Lithionics Battery (click here for the power supply PDF) but if you choose to purchase your own, size it for a 90 Watt surge followed by a 70 Watt continuous output. The heater kit operates 50% duty cycle per hour thus about 30 Watts per hour power consumption net.

In some multi-battery Lithionics lithium-ion battery installations where multiple batteries are connected to a single Version 8 external BMS box, we may need to provide you with the black temperature sensor extension cables and special "T" connectors. These plug in together so that you will have a single black temperature sensor cable going from the battery system to the single temperature sensor input cable assembly on the BMS box.

NOTE: Please remember that with the new UL approvals on the Lithionics Battery products, we want to make sure that the batteries themselves are not exposed to temperatures exceeding 113 Fahrenheit or else the BMS will switch battery power off. This functionality is to ensure that you get the exceptional Battery Cycle Life that our chart shows.

Lithionics Battery and Ocean Planet Energy are able to offer communications/ display and programming so that the Lithionics NeverDie Battery Management System can integrate with NMEA 2000 devices/ systems offered by leading ship systems monitoring manufacturers such as MasterVolt (CZone Platform).

We can get a fair amount of the Lithionics data to N2K, by utilizing a Wakespeed WS500 (available through Pinnacle Innovations/ getlithium.com or AP500) together with an OPE-Tether. However, some of the available data on the Lithionics BMS side isn't readable by N2K as the PGNs don't exist. For instance, high cell voltage, low cell voltage, etc.

Luis Soltero at Ocean Planet Energy has written a nice article on NMEA 2000 integration with the popular Wakespeed External Voltage Regulators that we often supply with high output alternators on ships/ RV's. https://panbo.com/how-wakespeeds-ws500-alternator-regulator-solves-complex-charging-issues-a-new-approach/

Field Circuit Control to control Alternator -Chargers (formerly called FEC). Important Safety Option - Designed for use with Balmar external Voltage Regulators Only.

This is an important safety feature to control Alternator-Chargers and can be added to any Internal NeverDie BMS for $125.43 USD. This feature can control up to 3 separate alternators. With multiple alternators connected to a single BMS we wire the alternator feed wires to the FCC's 2 wires in parallel. This feature has 2 wires coming out of the BMS that are both violet in colour. This is a Normally Closed (N.C.) Relay - this circuit opens when the High Voltage Cutoff (HVC) condition is detected.

If your BMS is wired to your alternator's field or regulator circuit, it will disable the alternator's output by opening this circuit when HVC condition is detected, to protect the battery from being overcharged. The BMS will open this circuit 500ms prior to opening main contactor, allowing alternator field to collapse which protects the alternator's diodes from potential damage.

Protects the alternator diodes by safely discharging field energy prior to disconnecting the battery. Disables alternator output when battery detects overcharge, in HVC event.

Quote from the Advanced Version 8 BMS Guide PDF:
" Field Control Circuit (FCC) -if your BMS is wired to your alternator's field or regulator circuit, it will disable the alternator's output by opening this circuit when HVC condition is detected, to protect the battery from being overcharged. The BMS will open this circuit 2 seconds prior to opening main contactor, allowing alternator field to discharge which protects the alternator's diodes from potential damage. This circuit can also be used to disable other charge sources, such as solar controllers or inverter/charger's charge function."

As our lithium-ion batteries are "smart batteries" with a High and Low Voltage Cutoff (HVC, LVC), the FCC control circuit works as a relay that interfaces with the alternator Field Effect to tell the alternator to stop charging if our NeverDie Battery Management System is switched off (example: the alternator or Voltage regulator is sending too much Voltage). This is critical as an alternator that is charging with no place to dump the power can burn up. With old technology lead batteries, a faulty alternator will just keep dumping power to a lead battery and ruin the lead battery.

The FCC option is most often used in applications where an Alternator has an external Volatge Regulator. Internally regulated Alternators (such as most OEM automotive alternators) do not require the FCC option. Most of our Marine/ Yacht Customers with special aftermarket Balmar alternators with external or remote mounted Voltage regulators choose the FCC option.

12 Volt External Voltage Regulators: More info/ pricing on Balmar external Voltage Regulators shown down the page...	24 Volt External Voltage Regulators:
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES: When installing this device on a high performance alternator that uses an external Voltage Regulator like the Balmar MC-614 or MC-624-H and a Perfect Switch POWER-GATE Dual Battery Isolator, we may need to connect the external Voltage Regulator's "Battery +" wire to the engine starting battery's positive post or to the "Main Battery" stud post on the Perfect Switch instead of the "Battery Positive + Post" on the alternator. The reason is that with the Perfect Switch dual isolator installed, the alternator's "Battery Positive + Post" does not have power until the Perfect Switch device is active and as a result the Voltage Regulator may not turn on as desired when cranking the engine. If possible, we recommend bench testing the alternator/ batteries and Perfect Switch system prior to installing on the vehicle. The best way is to follow the Alternator/ external Voltage Regulator's Installation Instructions but if the Regulator does not power up then try using this alternate wiring option of the Regulator's "B+" or "Battery Positive +" wire. IMPORTANT: If you have a Balmar External Voltage Regulator connected in the system please advise so that we can program the Perfect Switch device's trigger time to one minute (Balmar regulators have a 35 second delay before they power up).

NOTES:
1. With the new Advanced Version 8 BMS (with Amp23 seal) it comes with the special 1 foot dongle so the cost of the FCC option is $25.84 USD for the FCC feature that comes with 15 feet of wire.
2. With the new Standard Version 8 BMS the cost of the FCC option is: $134.64 USD for the 1 foot special dongle cable plus $25.84 USD for the FCC feature that comes with 15 feet of wire for a total of $160.48 USD. If you need 25' of wire add $10.00 USD.
3. When using multiple islanded independent Lithionics battery banks with their own NeverDie Battery Management System (BMS) AND the FCC option, the FCC wires coming out of the BMS are wired in Series to the alternator(s).
4. If you have more than 1 alternator with external Voltage regulator connected to a Lithionics lithium-ion battery and FCC equipped BMS, we wire the two FCC wires in parallel to the alternators and Voltage regulators.
5. The FCC option can be used to connect to other control devices. The 2 wires from the FCC are a "normally open circuit".

Some customers want to have a visual or auditory signal when the BMS shuts off due to an error/ fault or when the batteries are discharged to the safe point. This two wire option can be connected to a user supplied external device such as an LED warning light or warning buzzer to notify the customer when the BMS shuts off. Be sure to select the correct Voltage specs for your device to match the battery system output Voltage. Price for Internal BMS lithium-ion batteries is $125.42 USD. This feature has 2 wires coming out of the BMS that are red and pink in colour. These output a 12 Volt power and ground when in Alarm mode.

Below are the warning timings for the alarm circuit. The alarm circuit is a normally closed circuit that will open when a BMS fault is detected. The BMS buzzer will also activate. The alarm circuit will activate prior to the BMS contactor opening for the seconds listed below:

NOTES:
1. The alarm circuit feature is accessed by 2 wires over the Ampseal harness. The circuit is normally closed, and has a voltage limit of 15V and a current limit of 1A. You can use this to activate an external buzzer or light. However, the output is all-inclusive for any alarm events. The AGSR circuit can be used to activate a low-battery alarm (normally open, 24V 2A rated circuit), but otherwise there is no way to differentiate the events. We recommend having the status code and Bluetooth app available to determine the exact fault condition.

2. With the new Advanced Version 8 BMS (with Amp23 seal) it comes with the 1 foot special dongle cable so the cost of the Alarm Circuit option is: $25.84 USD for the Alarm Circuit feature that comes with 15 feet of wire. If you need 25' of wire add $10.00 USD.

3. With the new Standard Version 8 BMS the cost of the FCC option is: $134.64 USD for the 1 foot special dongle cable plus $25.84 USD for the FCC feature that comes with 15 feet of wire for a total of $160.48 USD. If you need 25' of wire add $10.00 USD.

NEW: We can also use the AGS/ R option on many RV applications where the diesel engine alternator cannot be controlled by the FCC function. In this case we can use a Battery-to-Battery Charger such as a Sterling BB1230, BB1260 or BB242435 12 or 24 Volt charger.

Sterling Power BB1230 12 Volt to 12 Volt DC battery to battery charger. 30 Amps output. Price: $406.64 USD	Sterling Power BB1260 12 Volt to 12 Volt DC battery to battery charger. 60 Amps output. Price: $542.64 USD	Sterling Power BB242435 24 Volt to 24 Volt DC battery to battery charger. 35 Amps output.
Summary Sterling Power BB1230 12 Volt to 12 Volt DC battery to battery charger "Custom Charge Profile Programming Instructions" for the Lithionics 12 Volt, 315 Amp hour GTX internal BMS battery: Step 1: Connect the Sterling Device to a 12 Volt power source/ battery with appropriate fuse. Step 2: Remove the access cover at the bottom of the charger to expose the two programming buttons. Note: Do not quickly press the selection buttons as they are a bit slow to respond. Step 3: Press and hold down both buttons for between 10 and 20 seconds - we recommend 15 seconds. Step 4: This override all factory settings and allow us to use the "Custom Settings". With the right button press it to move the illuminated LED all the way down to the bottom which is a hard to see faint red LED "Custom" position. Step 5: Press both buttons for 1 second. Step 6: Now we set the bulk/ absorb charge Voltage. Press the right button until the two LEDs labelled 14.6 and 14.2 Volts are illuminated (LEDs #18 and 19). This position indicates our desired Voltage of 14.4 Volts. Press both buttons for 1 second to lock it in. Step 7: Using the right button, navigate to the LED # 20 that says 13.8 Volts. Press both buttons for 1 second. This sets an intermediary float Voltage. Step 8: Use the right button to illuminate the LED # 6 labelled 13.4 Volts. This is the float Voltage that we want. Press both buttons for 1 second to lock it in. Step 9: Now we need to set the minimum absorption time. Use the right button to scroll to LED #4 (LED 22) = 120 minutes. Press both buttons for 1 second to lock it in. Step 10: Now we set the maximum absorption time. Use the right button to select 360 minutes which is LED #8. Press both buttons for 1 second. Step 11: If you like, in this step you can program the low temperature shutoff function of the Sterling Charger. For the Lithionics batteries we suggest that you set this to +3 or +4 Celsius. This will turn off the Sterling Charger in cold and very cold temperatures so that it does not trigger the Lithionics Battery cold temperature intervention that will shut off power to the Lithionics Battery if there is battery charging detected and the battery is at or below 0 Celsius. We are now done and the green LEDs should flash and the device should beep and reboot. NOTE: The buttons are a little tricky to work with so we suggest programming the unit on a workbench and you may have to go through the process a couple times. Click on the PDF logo below for a copy of the instructions. Click on the PDF logo for a copy of the instructions. The Sterling Battery to Battery DC Chargers can be "Stacked" or Parallel-Connected to double or triple the charging current - as long as you alternator/ source battery can support this.

Previously we had used a MasterVolt Charge Mate current limiting relay but the problem with these type of devices is that they do not offer proper multi-stage charging. We no longer recommend installing a Charge Mate to a non-externally Voltage regulated alternator connected to the Lithionics Battery System.

More info on the MasterVolt...
With the MasterVolt solution we follow the following procedures:

The wiring is very simple:

1. From the AMPSEAL connector, we use pins 2 and 3 (AGS/AGR or the auto gen start feature from Lithionics Battery).

2. Pin 2: we drop in to the ground right on the BMS. Pin 3 goes to the ground spade on the logic for the Pro 40.

3. We then use the SOC gauge from Lithionics Battery and set the AGSR at 80%. Once the battery is discharged to 80% the AGSR closes and turns on the logic for the Pro 40. Once the Pro 40 is on, it will combine the alternator charge with the lithium battery and apply a 40 amp max charge. Once the lithium battery has been charged to 14.2 Volts for ~ 30 minutes, the BMS opens the AGSR and the Pro 40 opens and disconnects the alternator from the lithium battery.

NOTES: If you are not running the engine and you are using the lithium battery, once the battery is discharged to 80% the AGSR will close and the Pro 40 will combine the lithium battery with the factory engine battery until the Pro 40 measures 12.8 Volts on the engine battery. Once it senses 12.8 Volts it will disconnect. This will prevent the engine start battery from being discharged too low. The lithium battery will continue to run the DC loads as normal. The Pro 40 will reconnect once it senses a voltage on the factory battery side on 13.5... this means the alternator is on and it will combine again and charge the lithium battery.

The factory alternator will not float at 13.4 Volts like the lithium wants. Therefore, if you don't use some kind of logic then the factory alternator will maintain too high of Voltage and the BMS will shut off to prevent damage to the battery. (See Page 2 for AMPSEAL Pins and Functions Description. Obtain the mating AMPSEAL connector from Lithionics Battery to activate these functions)

The reprogramming of the Lithionics SOC gauge or Bluetooth App can be done fairly easily. For the Bluetooth App you can change this setting through the Bluetooth app by connecting to the battery, then selecting the settings (gear wheel) in the top right corner. There is then a button for a terminal console session. Click here for the SOC Programming Guide.

SOC Programming Guide

Once in the terminal, data will begin streaming. You can then enter the following commands:
AT+SETUP
Then,
AT+LIST
This will show the current settings- you can verify the AGSR setting.
AT+AGSRON = 80

You can then double check the setting has changed by sending the AT+LIST command again.

Once done reviewing the list, send the AT+END command.

You can then retest the Mastervolt ChargeMate to see if it engages once the battery is below 80%.

ADDITIONAL AGS/ R NOTES:
1. With the new Standard Version 8 BMS the cost of the Automatic Generator Restart option is: $134.64 USD for the 1 foot special dongle cable plus $25.84 USD for the Automatic Generator Restart feature that comes with 15 feet of wire for a total of $160.48 USD. If you need 25' of wire add $10.00 USD.
2. With the new Advanced Version 8 BMS (with Amp23 seal) the special 1 foot dongle is included so the cost of the Automatic Generator Restart option is $25.84 USD for the Automatic Generator Restart feature that comes with 15 feet of wire. If you need 25' of wire add $10.00 USD.
Please Note: For Safety Reasons this option may not be suitable for Marine Applications that have generator cooling systems that rely on sea water or lake water for generator cooling because if the cooling system fails and nobody is onboard the vessel could be flooded.
