+====== Victron & Freedom Won LiFePO4 batteries - Freedom Lite ======
-===== Compatible Victron products =====
+===== Introduction =====
-The Freedom Lite range of Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries from Freedom Won (www.freedomwon.co.za) is compatible with all 48V Multis and Quattros and also the 48V Blue Solar Ve.CAN and Ve.Direct Solar chargers.
+Freedom Won (www.freedomwon.co.za) produces two ranges of LiFePO4 batteries for 48V systems:
-The control output from the Freedom Lite battery has two options applicable to Victron equipment, hard wired potential free contacts, and CAN Bus.
+  * Freedom Lite Home and Business: Eight models available ranging from the smallest 5kWh model (Freedom Lite Home 5/4) up to the 80kWh model (Freedom Lite Business 80/56)
-The potential free contacts are used to enable and disable the inverter discharge and the charger independently in the same fashion as the Lynx Ion BMS. The Auxiliary Inputs are used on the Multi's and Quattro's and the remote enable is used on the Blue Solar models.
+  * Freedom Lite Commercial:  Ten models available ranging from the 100kWh model (Freedom Lite Commercial 100/70) up to the 700kWh model (Freedom Lite Commercial 700/490).
+//**Note: Refer to Freedom Won website for detailed specification sheets covering all models**
+//
-It is also possible to connect the CAN Bus output from the Freedom Lite into a Color Control GX Ve.CAN port. This enables the battery to transmit the SoC and enable/disable commands to the Inverter and MPPT's via CAN Bus.
+These Freedom Lite batteries are fully compatible with the Victron Multiplus, MultiPlus II, Multiplus GX, and Quattro inverter/chargers, Solar charge controllers (Ve Direct and Ve CAN), and system controllers (Color Control GX, Venus GX, and Octo GX).
-For more information about connecting Freedom Lite to Victron equipment please contact Freedom Won by email - antony@freedomwon.co.za
+The Freedom Lite batteries contain an advanced battery management system (BMS) that communicates, using a CAN Bus protocol, with the Victron Venus device, which in turn communicates as required to the other Victron devices on the system.
+All Freedom Lite models can be connected in parallel with other models of the same capacity, where one Lite (Master) communicates with the Venus device as well as all the other Lite’s in the system (Slaves).
+The Victron and Freedom Won integration has been extensively developed and tested and is certified and supported by both companies.
+The system is suitable for all applications, namely:
+  * Grid Connected with solar and storage including continued operation in grid outage (ESS or self-consumption mode)
+  * Backup storage or UPS mode
+  * Off Grid plant with storage and solar
