Charging my batteries from generator

[John Dorrer]

What are the temps. If below 32° the batteries will not charge unless you have your heating blanket on. 3 Lithiums and there is a toggle switch on top. Two lithium batteries and they have built in warmers.

It is 80 here today. I think she was incorrect on the app, lithionics was the one that required the 6 character pass word i believe , so no working apps today.

Just in case ! I will mention this

you should be in close proximity to the batteries and the batteries need to be turned on or the APP cannot connect to the batteries 

with batteries turned on and you phone within say 15 feet distance 

open Lithionics APP and allow it to search for the batteries

It takes a few minutes the first time you do it

after the APP searches and finds the batteries then you will put in the password 

this is how it worked for me (using the owner’s manual for instructions)

 

then , using the serial number on the actual batteries match it to the serial number on the APP and you can mark the batteries with a sharpie  1,2,3 

this way in the future you know which one is which !

I renamed my batteries in the app, FRONT and REAR. You could do OUTER, CENTER, INNER, etc. Makes it easy to identify them.

I like keeping things Simple! Especially as I get older.  John D turned me on to Sharpie Paint Markers for marking which way to hand crank down the jacks when you gotta.  So, welcome to the "Simple is Smart" team.
