Additional Components Activation Switch The Activation Switch is used to switch the battery between active mode and shelf mode. Long Terminal Bolts (2) The Long Terminal Bolts (M8 x 1 x 20 mm) are used to secure multiple cable lugs on a single battery terminal.
Please verify the polarity before connecting the wiring. Reversing polarity can and will destroy the battery. Please use circuit breakers, fuses, or disconnects appropriately sized by a certified electri- cian, licensed installers, or regional code authorities to protect all electrical equipment. Inspection Please check for visible damage including cracks, dents, deformation, and other visible abnor- malities.
To enable the communication between paralleled Copper batteries for the proper operation of the Renogy Cable Monitoring Screen or the Renogy Bluetooth Module, connect the RS485 LINK Communica-...
Securing Cable Connections Please secure all cable connections to the proper specification in order to ensure good contact between the cable lugs and the terminals. Over-tightening cable connections can cause terminal breakage and loose cable connections can cause terminal meltdown or fire. Please use an insulated Philips screwdriver to tighten the cable connections.
Battery Operation DO NOT over-charge or over-discharge the battery. DO NOT discharge the battery at high temperatures above 140°F (60°C). Activation Switch Operation The battery can be switched between active mode and shelf mode with the Activation Switch. When the battery is in shelf mode, connect the Activation Switch to the RS485 UP Communica- tion Port of the battery and press the Power Button.

Discharging Batteries DO NOT exceed the maximum discharge current to the battery. DO NOT connect large loads to the battery when it is running low. If the battery shuts off due to low state of charge (SoC), please disconnect the battery from the discharge equipment to eliminate potential parasitic loads and charge the battery as soon as possible.
Battery Maintenance Inspection Please perform regular inspections following these steps: Examine the external appearance of the battery. The top of the battery and terminals should be clean, dry, and free of corrosion. Check battery cables and connections. Replace any damaged cables and tighten any loose connections.
Battery Storage Please follow these tips to ensure that the battery emerges from storage in a good condition: Charge the battery to 30%~50% and switch the battery to shelf mode using the Power Button. Disconnect the battery from the discharge equipment to eliminate any potential parasitic loads that may discharge the battery.
Battery Management System Warning and Protection The battery contains a battery management system (BMS) that warns you and protects the battery from over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, short circuit, high temperature, and low temperature. Please refer to the following table for the triggering and recovery condition of each warning and protection.
Page 17
Recovery Charge Current≥1A The warning status is only visible on the Renogy Monitoring Screen and the DC Home app. The warning status will not affect the normal use of the battery. But it is recommended to pay closer attention to the battery to prevent it from entering the protection mode.
Troubleshooting If any problems occur during the battery operation, please refer to the following instructions or contact us for assistance: If the Activation Switch is not able to switch the battery to active mode or the battery resting voltage is under 10V in active mode at room temperature, the battery may have been severely over-discharged due to self-discharge or parasitic loads.
