5.2 Connection Preparation​

5.2.1 Cable Preparation​

Before connection, confirm that the following cables and parts are ready:

  • Positive power connection cable (02): Red, M10 copper lugs on both ends; whether it is included depends on your order — if not included, prepare a power connection cable with matching specifications yourself
  • Negative power connection cable (03): Black, M10 copper lugs on both ends; whether it is included depends on your order
  • Inverter communication cable (05): RJ45 on both ends (can also be used as a parallel cable)
  • RS232 communication cable (04): RJ12 to USB, used to connect a Windows PC to configure the communication protocol

Also confirm that the inverter and other equipment are installed in place, and power off the inverter; also refer to the battery connection section of the inverter manual.

5.2.2 Battery DIP Switch Settings​

If there is only one battery, it is the master; set its DIP switch to ON, OFF, OFF, OFF (for a 6-bit DIP switch: ON, OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF). If multiple batteries are connected in parallel, select one as the master and the others as slaves; refer to the DIP Switch Settings Table in the Appendix for the DIP switch settings of each address. Products with a 6-bit DIP switch may also set all batteries' DIP switches to OFF, letting the system assign addresses automatically.

5.3 Cable Connection​

5.3.1 Grounding Connection​

  • The battery system must be reliably grounded with a grounding resistance of less than 1Ω; follow local electrical codes and the inverter's requirements for the grounding connection method
  • Ensure that an overvoltage protection device is installed at the site where the system is located

5.3.2 Power Cable Connection​

Connect one end of the positive power connection cable (02) to the battery positive terminal and the other end to the inverter's positive battery input; connect one end of the negative power connection cable (03) to the battery negative terminal and the other end to the inverter's negative battery input. Tighten the terminal screws to the torque specified in Tools and Torque Requirements (15 ~ 20N·m for M10).

caution

Be sure to confirm correct positive/negative polarity when connecting; reverse connection will cause severe equipment damage.

Cable Routing

Do not pull the cables with force; leave enough bending room for the cables and use appropriate fasteners to reduce cable stress.

5.3.3 Communication Cable Connection​

Connect one end of the inverter communication cable (05) to the master battery's RS485A interface or CAN interface (which interface to use depends on the inverter manual — confirm whether the inverter communicates with the battery via RS485 or CAN), and the other end to the inverter's BMS communication port. For communication wiring when multiple batteries are connected in parallel, see the Multi-Pack Parallel Connection section.

caution

Confirm whether the pin definitions of the inverter's BMS communication port match those of the battery's RS485A or CAN interface. The inverter communication cable supplied with this product has a symmetrical pinout at both ends; if the inverter's and the battery's pin definitions differ, you need to make a communication cable with the corresponding pinout yourself or purchase an adapter cable from the inverter manufacturer (e.g. for Victron inverters).

For the pin definitions of each communication interface, see the Product Communication Pin Definitions section in the Appendix.

5.4 Multi-Pack Parallel Connection​

caution

Never connect batteries of different models or specifications in parallel. When connecting multiple batteries, route the cables along the designated paths; changing the wiring routes at will is not allowed.

5.4.1 Parallel Power Connection​

If multiple batteries are used in parallel, the batteries must be paralleled before connecting to the inverter. Each battery has two pairs of positive and negative terminals, and each terminal can carry a maximum current of 300A. There are therefore two cases:

  • Case 1: If the inverter input/output current is less than 300A, use the positive and negative cables to connect the positive and negative terminals of adjacent batteries to each other, and then connect the two end batteries to the inverter.

  • Case 2: If the inverter input/output current is greater than 300A, connect each battery's positive and negative terminals to a busbar, and then connect the busbar to the inverter.

note

For connection diagrams, see the Battery-Inverter Connection Diagrams section in the Appendix.

5.4.2 Parallel Communication Connection​

When multiple batteries are connected in parallel, use parallel communication cables to daisy-chain each battery's RS485B and RS485C interfaces in sequence: the first battery's RS485B connects to the second battery's RS485C, the second battery's RS485B connects to the third battery's RS485C, and so on.

note

Before parallel communication wiring, first complete the DIP switch settings for the master and slaves; products with a 6-bit DIP switch may also set all batteries to OFF, letting the system assign addresses automatically.

Mixing 4-Bit and 6-Bit DIP Switch Products

If products with a 4-bit DIP switch and products with a 6-bit DIP switch are used in parallel:

  • Automatic address assignment is not allowed; all 6-bit DIP switch products must be set manually
  • The master must be a 6-bit DIP switch product
  • Slaves at addresses 2 ~ 15 may be 4-bit or 6-bit DIP switch products
  • Slaves at address 16 and above must be 6-bit DIP switch products

5.5 Post-Connection Inspection​

After all cables are connected, verify each of the following:

  • After each connection is made, check that it is correct and secure, with no looseness or poor contact; all bolts, screws, and other fasteners are fully tightened
  • Positive and negative cables have correct polarity, terminals are firm and reliable, and protective covers are properly installed
  • Prevent terminals from contacting exposed wires or metal objects; adjacent live parts should be covered
  • Remove foreign objects from around the equipment, especially metal debris, to prevent short circuits
