Hello folks, In my second video we are going to be talking about how to communicate with your valence battery, Going over valence battery communications and the Valence Diagnostic Software. I show you all i have learned about this software during my experience with these LiFePO4 Batteries. I found a little unlock in the software config that allows us to see some more data, and even allows us to perform temperature calibration on a single module or your whole battery bank.

Valence AKA "Lithium Werks" AKA "Lithion Battery". So they have gone through several rebrands/staff changes lately and as of recently, they are now known as "Lithion Battery" company. They make some industry-leading LiFeMgPo 4 batteries "Lithium Iron Magnesium Phosphate". The magnesium is their little 'touch'. Supposedly having benefits, And considering its a material that costs money, Why would they add it if it didn't actually work? Visit their channel "Valence Technology" for some more clean-cut information about their modules.

Stay tuned for more fun with these great batteries!

Below i have attached a wiring diagram for the Valence Communications Cable to use in place of their "Valence diagnostics toolkit". i have shown the wiring for both generations, The first generation using the "M12" Connector and the second generation using the "Tyco AMP Superseal 5 Pin" Connectors.

I've compiled all the info i have gathered (Manuals, User Guides, SDS Info, and more). Keep this link as i will be adding more useful information during my time with these batteries.
