to put out the fire. If the fire is not able to be controlled quickly,
it'll be time to evacuate the RV and call 911. Do not try to

NOTICE
In reference to the U.S Fire Administration reports, the top causes

for fires in RV's are unintentional actions and failure of equipment
or heat source. It is very rare that the fire is cause an act of nature.
Leading areas of origin inside RV's are typically in the engine area,

Because there can be diverse sources of ignition on an RV, the NFPA
requires that all RV's must have a B:C rated fire extinguisher.
TYPES OF FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

Portable fire extinguishers are rated by classes, these classes

It is not recommended that the awning is used in freezing
temperatures, since the fabric may become less flexible or

G12 DC Panel
Your G12 control panel is the power distribution center for

the coach. This panel receives the signals sent from your
switch panels and performs the actions that have been
requested by activating and deactivating the required
circuits.
Every circuit controlled by the G12 is numbered and listed on
a black label (load list) which is usually mounted next to the
G12 panel. Troubleshooting Example - If you press the
Ceiling Accent lights button on your touchscreen screen and
the lights don’t come on, check the Network Diagnostics
Page to see if the light for Output 27 shows status. If it does,
you will want to check output voltage on that pin to make

Storage Procedure
Storing your battery at the correct specifications is important as it keeps the battery in the healthiest state possible for
the fastest deployment when needed. Consult the table below for proper storage conditions.
Storage
Storage Temperature < 1 Month -4F ~ 95F (-20 ~ 35C), 45 ~ 75% RH
&Humidity Range < 3 Months 14F ~ 86F (-10 ~ 30C), 45 ~ 75% RH
>3 Months or 6 Months MAX. >32F (>0C) Above Freezing, <86F (30C)
Short Term Storage: Up to 3 months:

1. Fully charge the battery. Record and maintain the storage VOLTAGE reading (not SoC%) for your warranty.
2. Turn the battery OFF by the On/Off/Storage switch. If you have an external BMS, it is preferred to fully disconnect
the BMS from the MODULE by pulling apart the Anderson EURO DIN connector.
3. Keep the battery in an environment according to the specifications shown above.
4.
Long Term Storage: >3 Months and 6 Months Maximum
1. Reduce the battery SOC to 3.3V/cell which is 50% ±10% SOC. Note: See chart below for cell voltage calculation. In
order to maintain your warranty, please RECORD the voltage reading at the 3-month date you reduced the state of
charge. Please keep a record of this value for warranty validation purposes. (NOTE: for some it may be
inconvenient to access the battery system at the 3-month mark to perform a charge-discharge cycle. You may
choose to keep the battery at full charge voltage for the entire 6-month time period. Studies show that a small loss
of capacity may occur with all lithium ion batteries.
2. Turn the battery OFF via the On/Off/Storage switch. If you have an EXTERNAL BMS, we suggest you disconnect the
BMS from the module or modules by pulling apart the large Anderson EURO DIN connector.
3. Storage Temperature: the battery must be maintained ABOVE freezing temperatures (>32F/0C)
4. Every 6 months, you must charge the battery to 100% SOC, then discharge the battery to RVC, then charge it back
to 50% ±10% SOC. This cycle from full to reserve then up to the storage VOLTAGE is important for long life.

About the Auxiliary DC Breaker

When the Auxiliary DC Breaker is connected to the GTX12V630A-
E2107-CS200-UL battery it qualifies as a UL1973 Listed system.
UL1973 Listing represents a high degree of safety and performance
tested by Underwriter Laboratories. The system works by using the
Auxiliary DC Breaker as a redundant disconnect device if the battery
must be isolated from its loads. The Auxiliary DC Breaker also replaces
the need for a fuse and can serve as a manual disconnect for storage
and maintenance via its toggle switch.
The 2 control wires for this added feature are wired through the 8-pin
AMPSEAL connector.
NOTE: Cabling and busbars shown are for reference only and not included.

Frequently Asked Questions: Lithium Battery Life Versus Warranty R1
How Long Will My Lithium Ion Battery Last?

-In general, 2000 to 3000 cycles. For most consumers, this translates to 7 to 10 years of service life. The range
exists because real-world temperature and calendar aging* affect the life in years.
-All batteries are cycle tested at nominal room temperature. Operating a battery at higher temperatures will
result in a shorter life. *Calendar aging is a factor based on keeping a lithium ion battery at high states of
charge for long periods of time during non-use.
-A consumer is wise to realize that a battery is a wear item. Most battery makers create warranties to deny
claims based on normal wear.
What Types of Warranties Do Battery Makers Offer?

-Most battery makers offer SUBJECTIVE warranties. They are a warranty, different from a guarantee of life
cycles or benefit of use. What does this mean? The power to decide on offering a warranty claim is solely at
the “maker’s” discretion. The warranty is based strictly based on the consumer shipping the battery back to
the original battery seller or re-seller for inspection, and, “hope for the best.” The battery seller will examine
the battery and make decisions based on observations during inspection. The consumer has no ability to
validate the findings.
-The long list of exclusions printed in these “10 Year Warranty” statements are so extensive that the consumer
will have little understanding of what is and is not covered under warranty. All power goes to the “maker.”
What Type of Warranty Does Lithionics Battery Offer?

-Our warranty is OBJECTIVE because it is both time based and usage based, and the consumer is able to
monitor usage on the BMS APP. Our warranty empowers the consumer, not the seller.
-Simply stated, it is a both warranty against manufacturing defects for 5 years, and, a guarantee of amp-hour
usage. What does this mean and how does this benefit the consumer?
-All iron phosphate cells are tested for cycle life via a 100 percent full depth of discharge at room temperature,
and will deliver 2000 cycles minimum. EXAMPLE: a 315 amp hour battery X 2000 cycles = 630,000 amp hours
of use. It is similar to an odometer. Counting individual cycles is not useful and does not protect the
consumer. Therefore, if your APP reports 300,000 amp-hours on the display, you are about half-way through
your useful battery “throughput” of power. If a battery fails at 300,000 amp-hours for a manufacturing defect,
then, the consumer knows exactly what his-her prorated credit should be. This is why our warranty is more
valuable than other warranties because it has objective values the consumer can see. This is called TOTAL
CONSUMED on the APP.
-Other factors affecting cycle life: our APP continuously records 2 more key factors that affect total life. These
are:
AGING FACTOR TEMP: the amount of time the battery is operated at high temperatures. The embedded
algorithm is a sliding scale that adjusts for actual temperatures.
AGING FACTOR SOC: the amount of time the battery sits at full charge and non-use. All batteries will lose
small amount of life if they sit fully charged for long periods of time with no periodic cycling. The loss has been
measured by some researchers to be 3 percent of capacity loss per 6 months of high State of Charge storage.
See page 2 for how the APP monitors the 3 measured conditions listed above.
