LithiumPro have pioneered many new safety features in the SMARTCOMM SERIES range and we offer them as standard on our batteries.
TYPE APPROVAL: Certified to ECE R10, a requirement for road-legal installation. Mandatory in the UK for OEM and installers in motorhomes, campervans, caravans and commercial vehicles.
PRECHARGE PROTECTION – connect seamlessly with large inverters or devices with large inductive loads. No more sparks and arcs due very high inrush currents which can damage your battery and any connected devices. We integrated advanced precharge resistor curcuit on board our BMS to prevent these issues.
AUTO-HIBERNATION – Designed to save battery life and enhance performance. The BMS automatically enters hibernation mode after 24 hours of inactivity, reducing power consumption.
ON/OFF POWER ISOLATION – offers many safety benefits along with offering improved functionality. Isolating the battery terminals means our batteries are safer during transportation and can be safely worked on during vehicle maintenance, but also being able to isolate the power means you can winterise you battery at the touch of a button, safe in the knowledge no loads can drain it.
HEATED CELLS – Our proprietary advanced heated cells technology ehich enables your battery to be safely charged in sub zero conditions. Providing the flexibility and functionality to use your battery safely in any climate without affecting its cell longevity.
LithiumPro has not only pioneered industry-leading safety features in the SMARTCOMM SERIES range but is also continuously developing advanced innovations.
One of our latest advancements is ACTIVE BALANCING, a cutting-edge feature embedded directly into our new BMS. Unlike external plug-in balancers that operate independently, our integrated system ensures seamless, real-time balancing.
When cells undergo frequent charge and discharge cycles with high currents, even top-grade A lithium cells can experience voltage drift over time. Our precision ACTIVE BALANCING technology dynamically adjusts balancing currents between 1A and 5A, redistributing energy efficiently to maintain perfect cell voltage alignment. This results in faster charging, maximized capacity, and extended battery lifespan—ensuring your battery remains at peak performance for years to come.

Our advanced Bluetooth technology establishes seamless communication with the Battery Management System (BMS) on board the battery. In case of exceeding usage parameters, the BMS acts as a safeguard, issuing warnings and sending notifications to your device. When necessary, the BMS automatically shuts down the battery to protect itself.
No special charger is required. Any normal lead-acid battery charger designed to output a Constant Voltage Constant Current (CCCV) charge profile, which 95% of chargers do, then this is fine and safe for LithiumPro batteries. Many battery chargers will have pre-programmed settings for different battery chemistries. For Lithium batteries, select the ‘LiFePO4’ profile or the closest charge profile between 13.8-14.6v. Optimal is 14.4V.
Of course, should you wish to upgrade to a lithium based charger, we would recommend this, as it will charge faster and more efficiently, whilst offering more enhanced protection features during charging, thus preserving the life of you battery.
You can charge your Lithium battery using any or all of the three simple ways listed below:-
1. Harness your alternator’s surplus power to deliver a steady 14.4v charge voltage. Click here for DC-DC Chargers
2. Using a MPPT Solar Charge Controller, you can charge your leisure batteries at a regulated voltage using your solar panels ability to harness the suns energy. Click here for Solar Charge Controllers
3 Using a Mains hook-up charger, you can use a domestic 240v electricity supply to charge you leisure batteries via hook-up or shore power. Click here for Mains Chargers
IMPORTANT: When you first receive your battery, fully charge it until you get a ‘Cell Over Voltage’ (COV) notification. This indicates the battery is fully charged. Then, complete a full discharge until you get a ‘Cell Under Voltage’ (CUV) notification, showing the battery is fully discharged.This process allows your Battery Management System (BMS) to calibrate the State of Charge (SOC) in your app. The BMS will then learn to provide more accurate data, understanding both the 0% and 100% charge parameters.
It is recommended to charge your battery at ≤0.5C (0.5 times the battery’s rated capacity). For instance, if the battery has a capacity of 100Ah, the recommended charging current would be ≤50 amps. Please observe the maximum charging capacity listed on your battery.
Your Lithium Battery with a Constant Current Constant Voltage charger CCCV with a LiFePO4 charging profile.
Absorption should be set to 14.2-14.6v
Float should be set to 13.5-13.9v
De-sulfation/Equalisation should be switched off
Most Victron chargers already have a Lithium charging profile. However, should you wish to personalise your settings, please use the following;
Absorption voltage: 14.4V
Absorption time: Recommended setting is half an hour per 100ah of LiFePO4 battery (for example if you have 2x 150ah batteries select 90mins).
Float Voltage: 13.5V
Equalisation voltage: This must be disabled on all Lithium batteries as this can damage the battery with pulses of high voltages. This is designed for lead acid batteries to add with desulfation.
Temperature compensation: This should also be disabled on Lithium batteries.
Charged Voltage: This is where your battery is considered fully charged – Lithium batteries should be set to 14.4V for Victron equipment.
Low Temperature cut-off: The Drift batteries have low temperature charging protection built into the battery. You can leave this off.
Discharge Floor: 0%
Tail Current: This is the minimum current at which the Smart Shunt considers charging or discharging finished. We recommend 4%.
Peukert Exponent: Not required – this is for Lead Acid batteries.
