2.Ground connection
GND screw on the 2-holes side panel of battery is connected with ground through a flexible cable
equal to or greater than the gauge of the battery return wire, no less than 6AWG. In instances where
the battery module is deployed in a central office environment, please assure that a method has been
implemented at the battery modules demarcation point, or within the adjacent power distribution
network, that assures the supply return is referenced to ground.
3.Battery output connection
■ Connect ‘+’ of battery output with positive female copper bar of power plant, and ‘-’ with
negative female copper bar or breaker (optional).
■ If multi battery modules will be connected in parallel, connect ‘+’ of battery output of each battery
module with positive female copper bar of power plant, and ‘-’ with negative female copper bar of
power plant or breaker (optional) separately, see Fig4.3.
■ Length of cable between battery module and power plant shall be less than 2.0m. To make sure
similar voltage drop of cable for each battery, length of all positive and negative cables should be
the same.
■ Color for cable between ‘+’ and positive bar is suggested as BLACK, and cable between
‘-’ and negative or breaker as BLUE.

4.Power on for battery module
■ When installation is accomplished, battery module is in dormant state. Once power on for the
power plant and battery module, battery will go into normal running status, and discharge/charge
can be available.
■ Parameter settings for lithium battery modules in power plant are shown in Table 4.2.
5.RS232/RS485 connection
■ If there is only one battery module in operation, communication between battery module and
computer can available through both RS232 and RS485.
■ If there are more than one battery modules in operation, parallel communication can be available
using RS485.
■ Communication protocols for RS232 and RS485 are shown in Annex 3.
6.Discharge with dummy load
■ Dummy load cannot be larger maximum discharge current of each battery model in
Table 2.1, and LVBD is larger than 40.5V.
■ Voltage drop on cable between battery module and power plant shall be less than 0.5V.
Method of calculation for cross sectional area of cable is shown as below.
A=ΣI×L/(K×△U)
In the above formula, A is across sectional area of wire (mm2), ΣI is the total current (A), L is length
of cable, △U is the permit voltage drop on cable (V), and K is electrical conductivity of wire. For

General Protection against under-voltage Charge battery

Proper maintenance will prolong the life of a battery and will aid in assuring that it is capable of Protection against over-temperature or under- Regulate cell temperature in

satisfying its design requirements. A good battery maintenance program will serve as a valuable aid temperature (cell temperature is lower than -25°C the range of -20°C to 60°C for

in determining the need for battery replacement. The users must consider their particular application or higher than 75°C) discharge
