PROformance Low Voltage Series

Lithium-ion batteries are a relatively newer technology that offer intelligence, communication, higher energy density and longer life, while eliminating the need for service and maintenance like watering and following complicated charging processes. Lead acid batteries can be used in a wide variety of applications outside of their optimal conditions, which will severely shorten their life, while lithium-ion batteries should be optimized through proper system integration for increased performance.

The proper battery should match the system voltage, motor power, and duty-cycle requirements. If you are unsure, contact your dealer or our technical support team for assistance.

A BMS (battery management system) is the brain of the battery and an integral component of all Inventus Power batteries. It helps protect the battery from operating outside of safe conditions, communicates / collects data, and optimizes battery performance.

Series connections are connecting the positive terminal of one battery to the negative terminal of another battery to increase voltage. Parallel connections are connecting positive to positive and negative to negative of multiple batteries to increase capacity, runtime and current. Please check the battery user manual to ensure proper wiring as not all batteries can be connected in series and/or parallel.

The M-series batteries are intelligent batteries with controllable logic pins to operate the terminals. The S-series has all the intelligence of an M-series battery but does not require logic pins to operate the terminals and the terminals will always be on.

Our batteries were designed to last more than 2,000 charge cycles depending on the model, and may last as long as the system. The average cycle life of a lithium battery is 3-5x more than a lead acid battery.

A BDI, also known as a battery guage, is a device that shows the battery’s state of charge (SoC).

Our batteries have LED indicators to provide battery SoC (state of charge) and diagnostics, so a BDI is not necessary. If a BDI is desired, we recommend using the Inventus Power Smart Battery Monitor (SBM-01) or connecting the system monitor via CAN. A lead acid BDI will not be compatible with lithium-ion batteries due to the voltage differences.

SoC (state of charge) is the battery’s level of charge (energy remaining) expressed from 0 – 100%.

All batteries will lose capacity as they are cycled or as they age. SoH (state of health) is the battery’s capacity compared to the initial capacity of the battery. Inventus Power’s PROformance batteries communicate battery SoH as part of the predictive maintenance features.

DoD (depth of discharge) is the amount energy allowed to discharge relative to the overall energy in the battery.

Our batteries were designed for the elements and can be cleaned with high-pressure water. To go a step further, our PROTRXion batteries can be submerged up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes.

We strongly recommend checking wires and connections to prevent reverse polarity on all battery installations. However, should the poloary be reversed on a PROformance battery, there are safety measurements to ensure safety.

Yes, all Inventus Power lithium-ion batteries include a BMS as it is an integral part of the battery to ensure performance and safety.

There are many battery suppliers in the market who do not have agency certifications on their batteries. These suppliers may only have safety certifications from the cell manufacturers, which is a component of the battery system. Inventus Power goes above and beyond by 1) testing and certifying our batteries against recognized global standards like UL and TUV for on/off-road applications and 2) complying with functional safety requirements to ensure potential issues are monitored, detected, and mitigated before they happen. Furthermore, we own 100% of the design and manufacturing process to ensure consistency and reliability.

Similar to UL certification for all of the household electronics, it is equally important for larger batteries to have the proper agency certifications to ensure safety.

Yes, lithium-ion batteries are very safe when properly designed, manufactured, and when used as intended.

Yes, lithium batteries should ship in accordance with UN38.3 and hazmat guidelines.

Most battery models can be connected in parallel. However, it is recommended to check the Battery User Manual before connecting batteries to ensure proper wiring and connections.

Only some S-series models can be connected in series. Please check the Battery User Manual to confirm your battery allows series connection. It is also recommended to check the Battery User Manual before connecting batteries to ensure proper wiring and connections.

It is recommended to fully charge the battery to improve calibration and SOC accuracy before use.

Yes, there are specific kits sold separately to help with installation depending on the vehicle. Please check with your dealer / distributor or go to the Inventus Power Additional Resources webpage for more information.

We recommend a size 4 wire gauge for most golf applications. For specific current ratings and wire sizes, please reference the Battery User Manual.

Any battery bracket or strap may be used if sized appropriately. However, we recommend the Universal PROTRXion Mounting Bracket as it is adjustable to easily secure the batteries in an upward or side orientation. To ensure safety, NEVER mount the battery with terminals pointed down. For more guidance on the Universal PROTRXion Mounting Bracket, please reference the manual.

We recommend the proper PPE per your company’s guidelines. However, at the minimum, we recommend rubber gloves, eye protection, an insulated torque wrench, and a voltmeter.

The battery, QR code card (online resources page), standard terminal bolts, and extra long terminal bolts (some models only).

The heater will activate down to -35°C to heat the battery to the ideal temperature for operation before the heater automatically deactivates. However, discharge is not permitted until the battery temperature is above -20°C and charge is prohibitted until the battery temperature is above 0°C.

CAN termination is always recommended and should follow the CAN Bus termination standards. More information and guidance on how to do this can be found in the Battery User Manual. We offer both system and battery CAN termination connectors to simplify the integration.

No, our Invnetus Power PROformance batteries can fully charge and dischage from 100% to 0% to leverage the entire depth of discharge. This is not possible for lead acid batteries and depth of discharge is typically below 80%. We recommend charging PROformance batteries when the SoC is below 10% and charging to full (100%) to ensure battery performance is optimized for operation. Reference Battery User Manual for more information.

No, there is no harm to PROformance batteries when compatible chargers are being used as charging will be terminated when the battery is fully charged.

Our batteries can be stored for two years when properly maintained per the Battery User Manual. However, we recommend checking the SoC at a minimum every 12 months and charging the battery once it falls below 10% to keep your battery healthy.

Each charger and/or charger manufacturer will have their own firmware and process for flashing the updates. We recommend visiting our Charger Resource Page or contacting the charger manufacturer directly.

Yes, this is one of the advantages of lithium over lead acid batteries. Charging the battery over a short break to increase runtime doesn’t harm or reduce the life of a lithium-ion battery as it would with lead acid batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries typically cannot charge below 0°C unless there is an integrated heater. Our M-Series battery has an optional integrated heater to allow optimized operations down to -35°C. Charging lead acid batteries in cold temperatures is not optimized and may shorten the life of the battery.

The LED light showing the State of Charge level will blink. For more information, please reference the Battery User Manual.

Communication is required for to charge the M-series battery. However, no communication is needed for the S-series batteries, but recommended for optimal performance.
