About This Manual Purpose This manual describes installation, commissioning, operation, and troubleshooting. Please read the manual fully and carefully before installing and operating. Keep this manual for future use. Scope This manual provides basic installation guidelines as well as information on tools and wiring. Safety Notice Attention: The following contains important safety and operating instructions.
Introduction Product Description EG4-LL Rack-Mounted lithium battery products are suitable for low-voltage small and medium-sized energy storage system applications. These products adopt the highest safety performance lithium iron phosphate cells, with a high-precision battery management system (BMS), which can monitor and collect voltage, current and temperature of each cell in the module in real time.
Overview Included Equipment When you purchase an EG4-LL battery, you will receive multiple items. These items will be included in the battery box, or separate packaging within your shipment. 1. (1) EG4-LL battery module 2. Inter-battery communication cable 3. Positive and Negative color coded connection cables...

4. Communication cable installation - (When a single module is used, please ignore this step) When multiple batteries are connected in parallel, please set the address code of the battery according to the DIP Table (make sure there is no duplicate address code). Then connect the Battery-Comm interface of the battery to each other, finally RS485/CAN interface of the No.1 address battery connects to the inverter by communication cable.
In the above figure, there are 6 EG4-LL 48V 100Ah batteries wired in parallel. This battery bank still maintains the appropriate 48V needed for most Inverter/Charger systems. However, the Amp hour rating of this bank has increased to 600Ah. WARNING: Do NOT parallel batteries by using jumper wires on the double terminals. This will cause high amperage in the final jumpers and potentially excessive amperage on the battery terminals.
This protection also helps keep your battery and the battery cells operable for a larger number of life cycles. Each EG4-LL battery is specifically configured to ensure the optimal performance and operation of your equipment.
Battery Communications Each EG4 is built with the user in mind, and designed to show you as much information as possible as easily as possible. We include an option to connect your battery to PC software to monitor the status of your battery.
LCD Screen and PC Software Each module has a built-in LCD display and the PC software is only suitable for installation; maintenance. LCD Display Introduction The LCD display is embedded in each battery module. It’s used to display important information about the cells.

You cannot run the PC software and a closed loop inverter at the same time. Additionally, Address 01 will not communicate to PC software, to analyze the master battery you must temporarily change the address to a number other than Check the eg4electronics.com website to get the latest version of the software for free, and run the BMS_tools.exe program directly after unpacking.

The state of the battery when placed into storage will affect how long it can be stored for as well as the condition when you begin using it again. EG4 recommends that each battery is brought to a SOC (state of charge) of 100% prior to placing it in storage.
There are a number of online websites and organizations that will accept your battery to recycle at little to no cost to you. At EG4, we understand that we are working with customers across the United States and the world. Our best recommendation is to visit your favorite search engine, and search the term “Lithium Battery Disposal Near Me”.
