Installation Guide

Pre-Installation Preparation

Choose a suitable installation location: Ensure the installation site is well-ventilated, avoiding high temperatures and humid environments. Keep away from open flames and flammable materials.

Connect the inverter and charge controller: Before installation, ensure the capacity of the inverter and charge controller matches the battery. It is recommended to use an MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) charge controller for improved efficiency.

Test system connections: Use a multimeter to test all connection points, ensuring correct polarity and avoiding short circuits.

Installation Steps

Install the Battery Rack

:

Use a standard-compliant battery rack to secure the battery, ensuring stability. Example: Place the battery horizontally in a dry, well-ventilated area, ensuring adequate spacing between each battery. Connect the Battery

:

Use dedicated battery cables (avoid cheap welding wires) to connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery. Tip: Connect the negative terminal first, followed by the positive terminal, to reduce the risk of arcing.

Connect the inverter and load: Connect the positive and negative terminals of the inverter to the battery, and connect the load devices to the inverter’s output.

Connect the charge controller: Connect the charge controller between the solar panel and the battery, ensuring efficient and safe charging.

Maintenance and Care

Routine Maintenance

Regular cleaning: Use a dry cloth or soft brush to clean the surface of the battery, preventing dust and dirt from affecting heat dissipation.

Check connection points: Monthly, inspect the battery terminals and cable connections to ensure they are secure and free from oxidation or loosening.

Monitor battery status: Use a battery monitoring system (e.g., BMS: Battery Management System) to track the battery’s voltage, current, and temperature in real time.

Charge and Discharge Management

Charging recommendations:

Use a dedicated lithium-ion battery charger, avoiding lead-acid battery chargers.

Ensure the charging environment is well-ventilated to prevent hydrogen accumulation.

Discharge precautions:

Avoid deep discharge (below 20% SoC) to extend battery life.

Use appropriate loads during discharge to avoid overloading.

Battery Balancing

If individual cells in the battery pack become unbalanced, use a balancer or professional equipment for adjustment.
