Lithion Power TK_16 – Smart Protection for Lithium Starter Batteries In the age of modern mobility and electrification, lithium batteries are rapidly replacing traditional lead-acid starter batteries—thanks to their lightweight, longer life, and better performance. But with this power comes the need for intelligent protection. Introducing the Lithion Power TK_16— a Cranking Battery Management System (BMS) designed specifically to protect 12V lithium starter batteries used in automotive, two-wheeler, marine, and generator applications. What Is the TK_16 Cranking BMS? The TK_16 is a smart, compact BMS built for 4S lithium-ion or LiFePO₄ battery packs(12V nominal). It’s engineered to handle the high inrush current needed for engine cranking, while ensuring the battery stays protected from over-discharge, short-circuit, and temperature extremes. Unlike regular BMS units used for energy storage, the TK_16 is optimized for starting loads, making it ideal for: • Cars and SUVs with lithium starter batteries • Electric two-wheelers with auxiliary starter packs • Marine engines and jet skis • Portable genset starter batteries Key Features of TK_16 Feature Specification Battery Type 4S LiFePO₄ / Li-ion (12.8V / 14.8V) Current Support High Peak Cranking Current Protection Offered Over-voltage, Under-voltage, Short-circuit, Over-temperature Form Factor Compact and Rugged for Cranking Packs Smart Control Auto-reset logic, power cut-off on fault Why Use a Cranking BMS? Unlike deep-cycle lithium packs used for energy storage, starter batteries need to deliver very high burst current in a very short time. This can stress lithium cells if not managed well. The TK_16 ensures:
• Instant Power Delivery during ignition • Battery protection during idle and shutdown • Thermal management to avoid overheating • Extended battery life even under harsh cranking conditions Smart but Simple The TK_16 is a Semi Smart BMS, which means it provides intelligent cutoff and fault recovery, without requiring a mobile app or complicated setup. This plug-and-play approach makes it perfect for:
• Automotive battery replacement kits • DIY lithium starter pack builders • OEMs upgrading from lead-acid to lithium ?? ?? Designed & Made in India Proudly developed by Lithion Power, the TK_16 is engineered for Indian conditions, including high ambient temperatures, dusty environments, and voltage fluctuations common in starter systems. It’s part of Lithion’s commitment to build world-class lithium protection systems at competitive pricing. Key Benefits • Supports high cranking current without compromising safety • Protects against voltage, current, and thermal faults • Optimized for 12V automotive and generator start batteries • Compact, lightweight, and rugged design • Backed by Lithion Power’s quality assurance Conclusion As lithium batteries take over starter applications, a reliable cranking BMS becomes essential. The Lithion Power TK_16 delivers exactly that —smart, rugged, and high-performance protection for your lithium starter packs. If you're upgrading from lead-acid to lithium for any engine start application, TK_16 is your silent guardian—ensuring every crank is powerful, safe, and worry-free.
