2.5 Battery Installation

The battery is a 12V 50Ah sealed lead-acid battery. It is packaged separately from the MLBase enclosure.
Note ‒ Battery installation should only be completed after the MLBase has been installed in its field location.
Tools Required: 3/8" socket wrench and 3/8" open-end wrench.
1. Remove the battery from the packaging, locate the terminal attachment hardware.
2. Open the MLBase enclosure and locate the bracket at the bottom of the enclosure. Move the battery terminal
leads away from the back of the bracket.
3. Position the battery with the terminals facing forward and lift the battery over the bracket to be placed into the
back of the panel, as shown below. Bring the terminal leads up over the battery.
4. Attach the leads using the hardware supplied. The red (positive) lead is installed on the right terminal, the black
(negative) lead is installed on the left terminal. Note the battery terminal colors match the lead colors.
Note ‒ Attach the red lead first to prevent short circuits.
Once the battery terminals are installed the 3-pin solar connector can be plugged in.
