2. Safety 2.1. Intended Use BYD Battery-Box Premium LVL 15.4 is for residential and small business use and works with a photovoltaic system. It is a 48V Li-ion battery storage system. It could be operated in either off-grid or on-grid mode with compatible inverters.
Inhalation: Evacuate the contaminated area and seek medical help immediately. Eye contact: Rinse eyes with flowing water for 15 minutes and seek medical help immediately. Skin contact: Wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water and seek medical help immediately.
• Do not attempt to open, disassemble, repair, tamper with, or modify the battery modules. The battery modules are not user-serviceable. • Do not use cleaning solvents to clean the battery modules. 2.6. Surge protection DANGER Danger to life due to electric shock in case of overvoltages and if surge protection is missing Overvoltages (e. g.
2.8. Notice of Property Damage NOTICE Damage to the battery system due to under voltages If the battery system doesn't start at all, please contact BYD local after-sales service within • 48 hours. Otherwise, the battery could be permanently damaged.
4. Battery System Overview 4.1. Battery System Description The BYD Battery-Box Premium LVL 15.4 is used as a connected battery for the intermediate storage of excess PV energy in an inverter system. It works together with Battery-Box Premium LV BMU. The parameters and instruction of BMU could be read on our websites.
BMU is equipped with an Ethernet interface as a standard. When your battery system is linked with the Internet, it will join our Be Connect Monitoring system. Be Connect Monitoring is a platform for BYD to provide remote service to customers. It can diagnose your battery system, and update the firmware.

Grounding conductor This symbol indicates the position for connecting a grounding conductor. WEEE designation Do not dispose of the battery system together with the household waste but in accordance with the disposal regulations for electronic waste applicable at the installation site. CE marking The battery system complies with the requirements of the applicable EU directives.
Do not short circuit. 4.4. LED Signals Flashing white BMU and the battery blue system are initiating. alternatively Idle (the battery system Glowing white is neither charging nor discharging). Flashing white The battery system is slowly charging. Flashing white The battery system is quickly discharging.
5. Installation 5.1. Requirements for Installation Requirements for installation location: a) A solid support surface must be available (e.g., concrete or masonry). b) The installation location must be inaccessible to children. The installation location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the system. d) The installation location must not be exposed to direct solar irradiation.
Screwdrivers Wrench 5.2.2. Single Battery System Installation Procedure: 1. Unpack the battery system. 2. Pile B2 above B1. Make sure the two alignment pins are in the right place. 3. Screw up the four plastic bolts on the top cover of the B2 module.
6. Use the bonding strips to fix B1 and B2 with screws M5×14.(Torque, 4.5 Nm) 5.2.3. Single Stack Installation Maximum of two battery systems could be piled up. Two battery systems installed like that could be called a single stack. Procedure: 1.
8. Insert two alignment pins on top of B2 (the first system). 9. Pile B2 (the second battery system) right above B1 (the second battery system). 10. Screw up four plastic bolts on top of the B2 (the second battery system).

Cable requirements: Conductor SC16-6 Grounding cable cross-section: max. 16 mm² Procedure: S C 1 6 - 6 1. Pass the ground conductor through PE port. 2. Connect with grounding point, with a screw M6×12. (Torque, 8Nm). 3. The other side of the grounding cable should be connected to the common ground.
6.2.3. Internal power cable connection Procedure: Take off the protective cover of B1- ( negative terminal of B1); These covers won`t be used again. Pass the cable L2 through the second cable hole on the right side of the front bottom layer on B2. Connect power cable L2 to B- with a screw M10×16.(Torque, 11.5Nm) Connect L2 to B1- ( negative terminal of battery module...
6.2.4. Data Cable Connection to BMU Procedure: 1. Check whether the terminal resistor is at the ‘OUT’ port. There should be a terminal resistor if only one battery system is operated. 2. Lead the data cable into the battery system through small size grommet above the ‘IN’...
