Bringing a battery out of Safe ModeUpdated 3 months ago

Inside every iTechworld battery is a Battery Management System (BMS) that integrates various safety features not found in lead-acid, calcium or even other lithium batteries. To ensure iTechworld batteries are the safest on the Australian market, we have built-in over-current protection, over-voltage protection, high and low temperature protection, cross-polarity protection and over-discharge protection. If one of the safety features has been engaged, the iTechworld battery will enter Safe Mode, which renders it unusable until it has been brought out of Safe Mode. 

Please work through the following steps to bring your battery out of Safe Mode:

In all instances, other than when your battery has been discharged below 10V, it can bring itself out of Safe Mode. For example, if the battery's internal temperature reaches 80°C, it will enter Safe Mode. When the internal temperature drops below 80°C, the battery will leave Safe Mode. 

If you have a charged battery and a battery charger

- Disconnect all loads/inputs from the iTechworld battery.

- Connect the iTechworld battery to the charged battery in parallel.

- Cross-reference the voltage on each battery now they are in parallel. They should both now read a similar voltage. 

- Connect an AC 240V charger or DCDC charger to the iTechworld battery and allow it to begin charging. We recommend a three-stage 20A/40A charger for all our batteries over 60Ah. 

- For batteries under 60Ah, the charger's current output rating should be approximately half of the battery's capacity. For example:

50Ah battery = 25A charger

24Ah battery = 12A charger

7Ah battery = 3.5A charger

- When the charger begins to charge the iTechworld battery, disconnect the other battery.

- The charger will continue to charge the iTechworld battery, bringing it out of Safe Mode.

- Allow the charger to charge the battery fully.

- Do not reintroduce a load until the battery is fully charged. 

If you have a portable jump starter 

• Disconnect all loads/inputs from the iTechworld battery.
• Connect the Jump Starter cables to the battery (Positive to Positive, Negative to Negative)
• Connect an A.C 240v charger or a DCDC charger to the iTechworld battery and allow it to begin charging. We recommend a three-stage charger 20 – 40 amp charger for all our batteries over 60ah.
• For batteries under 60ah the charger’s current output rating should be approx. half of the battery’s capacity, examples:

50ah battery = 25amp charger
24ah battery = 12amp charger
7ah battery = 3.5amp charger

• Activate the jump starter to supply power to the iTechworld battery. The charger will now detect the battery and begin to charge.
• When the charger begins to charge the iTechworld battery, disconnect the Jump Starter from the battery.
• The charger will continue to charge the iTechworld battery, bringing it out of safe mode.
• Allow the charger to charge the battery fully.
• Do not reintroduce a load until the battery is full charged.

If you have a solar panel/solar blanket

- Disconnect all loads/inputs from the iTechworld battery.

- Disconnect the solar controller/regulator from the solar panel.

- Connect the unregulated solar panel to the iTechworld battery.

- Leave the battery for 5 minutes. 

- Disconnect the unregulated solar panel from the iTechworld battery and immediately connect another form of charge to the battery. This can be a 240V charger or a regulated solar panel. 

- Charge the battery to 100%.

- Do not reintroduce a load until the battery is fully charged.
