Audioroot Li-96 Neo 14.4v 96Wh Smart Lithium Battery With Embedded OLED Display
This all new model has a built-in OLED display which allows real time display of the battery’s state of charge information. This helps users get precise information about a battery’s voltage, current draw, run time, etc… when connected to any type of equipment. This is very useful when connecting the battery to a piece of equipment or DC current distributor which is not SMBUS enabled.
Operation of the embedded OLED display is fully automatic. When the battery is disconnected the OLED can be activated by shaking the battery allowing to check battery capacity, cycle count and pack temperature. When powering a device from the battery the OLED display turns on and displays real time state of charge information. Once the device is shut down or disconnected from the pack the OLED display shuts off.
When the battery is connected to a fully compatible SMBUS device the OLED will stay to save power and keep the SMBUS lines free.

Guideline for optimizing your battery’s life :
• You can charge / discharge your battery in any manner with a compatible battery charger. Li-ion batteries are not prone to memory effect. You do not need to fully discharge your battery before recharging it.
• NEVER leave your battery empty for storage. The battery’s electronics require a very small amount of current to work and will drain the battery after several months of storage.
• To store your battery charge it to approx. 40 – 60 %. This will provide 4 to 6 months of shelf life. Check the battery’s capacity every month. If the battery reaches 20 % recharge it to 40 – 60%.
• The greatest effect on the self-discharge is storage temperature. Higher temperatures increase self-discharge. Storage of cells and batteries in non-temperature controlled facilities in hot climates can cause faster self discharge hence the storage method plays a role in the shelf life of the product. For optimum shelf life store your batteries in a cool place. You can store your battery in your fridge (3 – 4 deg celsius). We do not recommend storing your batteries in a freezer.
Fuel gauge accuracy
If you were to observe fuel gauge discrepancy proceed as follows :
• Fully charge the battery
• Fully discharge the battery by connecting it to your equipment (i.e leave the battery cut off)
• Fully recharge the battery again Your battery is now recalibrated.
Embedded OLED fuel gauge (OFG) operation
1. Waking up the OFG from deep sleep :
If the battery has been in idle mode for a period of more than 90 minutes (i.e. no current draw) the OFG will enter deep sleep.
The OFG can be woken up by shaking the battery which triggers the internal accelerometer and turns the display on. After 4 minutes the display will turn off again and the OFG will enter normal sleep mode
2. Waking up the OFG from normal sleep :
3. OFG dynamic information display :
The battery’s OFG will start displaying dynamic SoC (State of Charge) information if the 2 following conditions are met :
1. OFG is in normal sleep mode
2. The battery is connected to a load or charger and the current draw or input is > 50mA
The OFG will always remain OFF if the battery is connected to an SMBUS compatible device. When connected to a SMBUS compatible device (for example a DC current distributor, smart charger or digital audio recorder/mixer with SMBUS capabilities) the host is responsible for retrieving battery SoC information and displaying them to the user.
The OFG does not need to be woken up for the battery to supply power to the device it’s connected to. Power supply capability of the battery is fully indepedent from the OFG’s status/operation. Provided a battery is fully or partially charged (and not in protection mode) it will always supply power to the device it’s connected to even if the OFG is in normal or deep sleep mode.
