Frequently Asked Questions - MPM-12 Mestic

How do I charge the Mestic MPM-12 battery?

Use the supplied mains adapter. Connect the connection cable to the battery DC input port (12-24 V DC). Charging is done via the internal charger. Recharge after each use.

Can I use the battery in the rain?

No, the battery is not waterproof. Avoid any contact with water and use it only in dry conditions. Store it indoors when not in use.

How to store the battery long-term?

Disconnect the terminals, charge the battery beforehand, then recharge it every 6 months. Store it in a dry, temperate place, away from frost and excessive heat.

What to do if the battery is empty and won't turn on?

The battery switches off automatically when empty. Plug it into the mains charger to recharge. Wait for the LED indicator to show full charge before next use.

Can I use the battery with other equipment besides the caravan mover?

The battery is designed to power a caravan mover. It can supply high currents to overcome obstacles. For other uses, check electrical compatibility.

What cable cross-section to use for connection?

It is recommended to use a cable of at least 16 mm². Use a red cable for the positive pole and black for the negative. Follow your caravan manual.

Can the battery be overcharged?

No, the built-in BMS (Battery Management System) protects the battery against overcharge, deep discharge, and short circuits. Never open the battery.

Can I recharge the battery with a car charger?

Yes, an optional car charger is available. It uses the car's voltage to charge the battery while driving. Ensure it is suitable for LiFePO4 batteries.

What is the battery's lifespan?

With proper maintenance (regular recharging, correct storage), the LiFePO4 battery has a long lifespan. Avoid prolonged full discharges and extreme temperatures.

How to know if the battery is charged?

The battery has an LED charge status indicator. Observe the lights: they indicate the charge level. Refer to the manual for the meaning of the colors.

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.

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.
