If the battery modules are to be connected in parallel then all cables from the battery modules should be of equal length. Those cables should then run to a common point, such as a busbar. If Anderson connectors are supplied by genZ, they are suitable for 16mm wire.
Any energy storage systems should be designed with protection in mind, particularly given the very high currents that can be involved. All genZ battery modules are fitted with a DD Frame sized, 60Amp dual pole, non-polarised hydraulic-magnetic circuit breaker. Hydraulic-magnetic technology ensures that breaker performance is unaffected by ambient temperatures.

GenZ battery modules have been used with a variety of charger and inverter manufacturers. As the genZ battery modules do not have a communications port, more often than not, using a modified ‘lead acid’ charge profile will provide the required solution.
Be sure to read the installation placement and associated cautions before installing the Battery Module. Place the Battery Module in the final desired location and complete the rest of the installation procedure. Issued for Use Revision Page All rights reserved genZ 2020 04/03/2020 13 of 28...
