LiMax-Heater-160L

Heater plates for installation between the cells.
Size specifically for ECS LiMAX-LFP160L and similar cells.

ECS LiMAX-LFP160L cells should not be charged at low temperatures. Below 0°C, charging should not occur at all. Below 10°C, the charging current must already be reduced. To protect the cells, they must be warmed up before the actual charging process.
Our heater plates each have a sensor that turns the heater on at temperatures below 12.5°C and turns it off at temperatures above 14.5°C.
Through the individual monitoring of each heater plate, uniform and rapid heating is ensured.

For rapid heating, we also recommend installing a heater plate at both ends of the stack.
For 4 cells, 5 heater plates are required, for 8 cells, 9 heater plates, and so on.

Power:

Parameter	1 Plate	5 Plates (for 4 cells)	9 Plates (for 8 cells)	17 Plates (for 16 cells)
Power at 12 V (24 V / 48 V)	20 W	100 W	180 W	340 W
Power at 14.4 V (28.8 V / 57.6 V)	30 W	150 W	270 W	510 W

Other Specifications:

Switch-on Temperature	< 12.5 °C
Switch-off Temperature	> 14.5 °C
Dimensions (H x L x W)	280 x 92 x 1.6mm
For cells with dimensions (H x L)	82 x 280 mm

The heating traces are in the inner layers of the PCB. The PCB is made of FR4 material.
FR-4 or FR4 refers to a class of flame-resistant and fire-retardant composite materials made from epoxy resin and fiberglass. The abbreviation FR stands for flame retardant and meets the requirements of UL94V-0. Additional insulation between the cells is no longer required.

When using side plates for mounting the cells, such as in our mounting kits, an additional insulating plate is required at both ends: HEATER_ISO_160L. This ensures the necessary distance between the soldering points (at the upper edge of the heating plate) and the metal plate.
