Is my iTechworld battery waterproof?

Please check the iTechworld website for a specific battery rating. The X Range of batteries is IP67-rated and uniquely suited to marine applications.

What should I set my charging voltages to?

If you have a third-party adjustable charger, controller or regulator, we recommend setting the parameters as follows for optimal performance: - Bulk: 14.4V- Absorption: 14.4V- Float: 13.5V

I have a charger not suited for lithium; will it work with my battery?

Most chargers lacking a dedicated lithium charging profile can still charge your iTechworld lithium battery. The only chargers you will encounter issues with are those specifically designed for calcium-based batteries. The battery will charge from ap

Which non-lithium profile should I set my charger to?

If your charger has a lithium charging option, that should take priority above all others. If it does not have a lithium charging profile, use either AGM or gel, as iTechworld batteries are able to accept charge from these profiles and their charging

Can I connect my iTechworld battery to a non-lithium battery?

When creating a battery bank, you cannot mix the chemistries of the batteries. Suppose you want to charge an iTechworld battery from a cranking battery, lithium or otherwise. In that case, a DCDC charger must be in between, as this isolates the batte

Can I connect my iTechworld batteries in parallel?

Yes, iTechworld batteries can be connected in parallel—please refer to our website for the number of batteries that can be connected in parallel for your specific battery model. We do not recommend mixing batteries from other manufacturers.

Can I connect my iTechworld batteries in series?

Yes, iTechworld batteries can be connected in series—please refer to our website for the number of batteries that can be connected in series for your specific battery model. We do not recommend mixing batteries from other manufacturers.

Can I mount my iTechworld battery on its side?

Yes, iTechworld batteries can be mounted on their side - they cannot be mounted upside down.

Can my iTechworld battery start a vehicle?

iTechworld batteries do not hold a CCA or CA rating. However, they may be able to start some small vehicles (such as an outboard motor). iTechworld storage batteries should not be used for cranking applications.

How do I store my iTechworld battery?

First, charge your battery to a resting voltage of 13.2V—13.5V. Then, store it in a cool, dry environment away from moisture or humidity. Check the battery's voltage every three months, topping up the charge as required. Do not store your battery in

Can I use a low-current trickle charger on an iTechworld battery?

Yes, you can indeed use a trickle charger, however, a trickle charger is not necessary for iTechworld batteries. One of the best features of iTechworld batteries is their ability to hold charge for extended periods (provided there is no load). If the

I don’t have an MPPT solar charge controller - will this charge your batteries?

Yes! Both PWM and MPPT solar controllers are compatible with our batteries, even if they do not have a lithium-specific charging profile. Your existing solar panel will charge an iTechworld battery.

Does iTechworld stock 24V batteries?

We currently stock a 24V 100Ah Lithium Battery. Our 12v batteries can also be run in series to achieve 24v.

I just received my iTechworld battery - is it fully charged?

No, your battery will not be fully charged. We ship our batteries at a voltage of 13.1V which is around 85 - 90% charged.

My iTechworld battery is flat/unresponsive

The battery will be in Safe Mode. The most common reason for an iTechworld battery being in Safe Mode is from being drained to less than 10.5V of voltage. Follow this link to view different methods of bringing your battery out of Safe Mode.

My battery goes into Safe Mode under load

Ensure that the load does not exceed the discharge rating of the current battery. Refer to your battery's specifications on the iTechworld website or your user guide for the discharge rating of your battery.

My iTechworld battery will not charge to 13.5V

If your charging method's float voltage is lower than 13.5V, which is 100% full, the battery will only charge to that voltage. The ideal parameters for a battery charger are as follows:. - Bulk: 14.4V. - Absorption: 14.4V. - Float: 13.5V.

My iTechworld battery will charge up to over 14V but drops when disconnected

A lithium battery can charge to over 14V when a charger is connected. The battery will settle between 13.5 - 13.8V when this charging source is disconnected. A resting voltage of 13.5V or higher is considered full.

My iTechworld battery is self-discharging

An iTechworld battery cannot self-discharge over a short period unless a load is applied. To test your battery, please follow the instructions below:. 1. Remove the battery from its current installation. 2. Disconnect all loads from this battery. Ens

My battery's case has warped/distorted

All iTechworld batteries (excluding the Super Slim range) are cased in ABS material. The ABS plastic will warp slightly when exposed to heat, whereas other battery casings on the market will become brittle and break, exposing the battery's internals.
