Frequently Asked Questions - MPM-20 Mestic

How to charge the Mestic MPM-20 battery?

Use the supplied mains adapter (12-24 V DC) by connecting the cable to the DC input port of the battery. An optional car charger allows charging while driving. Do not charge below 0 °C.

What is the capacity of the MPM-20 battery?

The battery has a capacity of 20 Ah (estimate based on model). It uses LiFePO4 technology allowing full discharge to 100% capacity without damage.

Can I use the battery in rainy weather?

Outdoor use is temporary. Avoid exposure to rain, high humidity, and liquids. The device is not waterproof.

How to store the battery for a long period?

Charge it fully, disconnect the terminals, and store it in a dry place at room temperature. Recharge it every 6 months. Its low self-discharge allows storage for up to one year.

Does the battery have short circuit protection?

Yes, the built-in BMS protects against short circuits, overcharges, and deep discharges. However, avoid intentionally short-circuiting the poles.

Which cable to use to connect the battery to the caravan mover?

Use a cable with a minimum cross-section of 16 mm², red for positive (+) and black for negative (-). Follow your caravan mover's manual.

What to do if the battery turns off automatically?

If it turns off after providing prolonged high current, let it reset automatically. Then recharge it before next use.

Can I open the battery to repair it?

No, never open the battery. This voids the warranty and poses risks. Entrust any repair to a qualified technician or the manufacturer.

Can the battery be used with other batteries?

No, never connect the battery in series or parallel with other batteries. Use it alone.

How to dispose of the battery at end of life?

Do not dispose of it with household waste. Take it to a recycling point compliant with directive 2012/19/EU for environmentally friendly recycling.

8. The device is not suitable for commercial use.
9. Always use and store the device in a dry place.
10. Never use any accessories that are not recommended by the manufacturer.
11. This appliance is only suitable for domestic use and only for the purpose for which it is intended.
12. Avoid contact with battery material such as electrolyte or powder. If, in the case of an damaged battery, this material gets on the skin or in the eyes, it should be rinsed immediately with plenty of clean water. In this case, consult a doctor. Under normal circumstances, contact with electrolyte is not possible.
13. Be careful when using metal objects or tools near the battery. Never place objects like these on top of the battery, as the connections of a lithium battery are always active. Do not wear metal objects such as watches, bracelets etc. and use insulated tools.

Safety in use

1. Do not overcharge the internal battery.
2. Avoid deep discharges.
3. Never short-circuit the + and - pole. Although the internal BMS is protected against short-circuiting, it is strongly discouraged, to avoid dangerous sparks.

4. Never connect the battery in series or in parallel with other batteries.

5. Never open the battery yourself. The warranty is void if the battery is opened.

6. Do not place the battery in an environment with high humidity, high temperatures, a heat source, or in direct sun or rain.

7. If you use bolts (instead of the supplied battery terminals) for connecting electronics, make sure that they are not longer than the internal thread.

8. When storing the battery for a longer period of time, it is recommended to charge it beforehand and then recharge it once every six months. Do not forget to disconnect the battery clamps if the battery will not be used for a long time!

9. Never charge the battery at temperatures below 0^ C.

10. Use the internal charger, or a charger suitable for LiFePO4 cell chemistry.

11. Do not smoke, strike a match, or create a spark near the battery.

12. Only charge the battery in a well-ventilated area.

Installation

1. Connect the negative terminal of the battery to the negative connector of your caravan mover.
2. Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the positive connector of your caravan mover.
3. It is recommended to use a cable of at least 16 mm2. Use a red cable for the + and a black cable for the -. Always follow the manual of your caravan mover when connecting the cabling.

Use

1. The battery has more than enough capacity to carry out one manoeuvre of the caravan with a mover. It is recommended to recharge the battery after each use for the next use.
2. The battery is capable of delivering short, high currents to overcome a threshold or other obstacles. If this is done for a longer period of time, the battery will turn off automatically and must reset itself.
3. Unlike lead-acid batteries, it is possible to fully discharge this lithium battery with LiFePO4 technology. This means 100% of the battery capacity can be used.
4. When the battery is empty, it will turn itself off and must be charged before the next use. Charging takes place via a charging cable and mains connection.
5. Optionally available is a charger (car charger) that uses the car voltage to slowly charge the battery while driving. With this, it is no longer necessary to install thick cabling.
6. The battery can be securely mounted on a supporting structure by means of the bottom mounting.
7. If you are not using the battery for a longer period of time, it is strongly recommended to disconnect the battery terminals. Make sure that the battery does not run out because it is in standby mode. Also make sure that the battery is not connected to the mains. If the temperature is below 0^ C it should not be charged. The battery can be stored this way for up to a year, due to its very low self-discharge.
