Lithium-Ion Battery System
After 2 years of research, testing and proving, and a further 2 years of ineld development, Kedron along with
one of its major suppliers, have created a COMPLETE Lithium Battery & Installation System so your Li-Ion battery
bank is fully protected. Most importantly, our system is designed to give the maximum performance, longevity
and SAFETY in your valuable installations.
Be aware that the market is abuzz with the hot topic of Lithium Ion Batteries; and we can tell you from our testing
to date that all the hype of their performance and capabilities is TRUE. However what we can also inform you
is that all the stories of their ‘Issues’ are unfortunately also true. However the so called “issues’ of lithium can be
avoided with some very basic rules about protection.
• Never go over voltage whilst charging them
• Never let them go ‘Dead’ Flat
• Keep the individual cells ‘Balanced’
What this lesson taught us was that to do Lithium – IT HAD TO BE DONE RIGHT!!
So we developed our own Lithium Power Pack for the Australian market with the emphasis on ‘built like a tank’;
and even to the extent of being a little bit ‘overkill’ on the packaging and protection.
So how does our system actually work?
The Advance BMS relay driver is designed to take a loop signal wire from the ePRO battery meter for low state
of charge (SOC%)/Voltage & Hi system voltage and a loop signal wire from the batteries Cell balancers Hi/Low
Volt cut-out circuit.
System Program Selection Switch;
The Advanced BMS Relay Driver has 2 pre- programed settings.
Output 1-4 Enabled - is programmed to utilise the output contacts. Using this program allows you to have
the charging sources run through external relays allowing the BMS to isolate the charging source in the event
of a cell voltage being too high without turning the whole electrical system o. In the event of low SOC% the
main battery relay will be disengaged to protect the battery.
• We strongly recommend this option for all installations.
Output 1-4 Disabled - is programmed to bypass the output contacts. If the battery SOC% is low or cell voltage
is high, the main battery relay will be disengaged, turning o the whole electrical system to protect the battery.

Subject to specic requirements, this option may only be suitable for certain applications. If unsure,
please contact Enerdrive for further details.
