1.0. INTRODUCTION
The Type-B Battery Discharge Indicator (BDI) communicates with Discover
Lithium batteries over CAN Bus using the LYNK Port on AES PROFESSIONAL
or AEBus Port on AES LiFePO4 Industrial batteries. The TYPE-B BDI displays
warnings, charging status, and state-of-charge (SOC) using incremental LED
SEGMENTS. The BDI device is plug and play, deriving both power and battery
status directly from the LYNK Port or AEBus Port. The TYPE-B BDI will provide
the aggregate SoC for up to 20 Discover Lithium Batteries. The Type-B BDI is
rated IP 30, with an installed frontal rating of IP 65.
1.1 Compatible Batteries
AES LiFePO4 Industrial Batteries:
12-48-6650, 12-36-6700, 14-24-2800, 14-36-3000, 14-48-3000
AES PROFESSIONAL Batteries:
DLP-GC2-12V, DLP-GC2-24V, DLP-GC2-36V, DLP-GC2-48V
2.0 INSTALLATION OPTIONS AND REQUIRED MATERIALS
The Type-B Battery is available as a head unit (950-0034) and used with AES
LiFePO4 or AES PROFESSIONAL batteries. The installer must supply a cable
of the appropriate length with a pinout and connector appropriate for either
an AES LiFePO4 Industrial battery or an AES PROFESSIONAL battery. Refer to
section 6.0 Battery Pinout Assignments for details on connectors and pinouts.
A kit (950-0039) that includes both the TYPE-B head unit (950-0034) and an
LYNK NETWORK BDI 1.8M cable (790-0079) is available from Discover for
installation with AES PROFESSIONAL batteries.

3.2 Charging Operation
The active State of Charge LED will slowly flash
3.3 Battery Protection Indication
When a connected battery has active protection (faults), LED 1 through LED
10 will all flash at the same time.
3.4 No Battery Detected
The LED interface will continuously cycle through all LEDs when the BDI-B is
powered on, but no batteries are detected.
