Step 1. Plan a Mounting Site For optimal battery performance, it is recommended to install the battery in a clean, cool, and dry location, free from any accumulation of water, oil, or dirt. Accumulation of such materials on the battery can lead to current leakage, self-discharge, and even short-circuiting.
Step 3. Remove the Dust Cover. Step 4. Check the Battery Inspect the battery for any visible damage including cracks, dents, deformation, and other visible abnormalities. All connector contacts shall be clean, free of dirt and corrosion, and dry. Do not touch the exposed electrolyte or powder if the battery is damaged. If uncovered electrolyte or powder contacts your skin or eyes, flush it out immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical attention.
Step 6. Install Battery Terminals Long Terminal Bolts Spring Washer Flat Washer 10 N·m Battery Battery Adapter Adapter Cable Cable Ensure the cable lug and the top surface of the terminal are in contact, and place the washers on top of the lug.
Step 8. Connect the Battery to Other Devices Please use circuit breakers, fuses, or disconnects appropriately sized by a certified electrician, licensed installers, or regional code authorities to protect all electrical equipment. █ For a Single Battery Inverter DC-DC Charger Battery Fuse DC Distribution Charge Controller...

Step 2: Use a voltmeter to measure the voltage of each battery. It is best to keep the voltage difference of each battery less than 0.1V. Step 3: Connect all the batteries in parallel and allow them to rest together for 12 to 24 hours. 12~24h It is recommended to periodically rebalance the battery voltages every six months when connecting multiple batteries as a battery system.

Each battery cell group is connected with a bypass resistor and a switch in parallel. During the charging process, if the highest- voltage battery cell group reaches the set balancing starting voltage and the voltage difference between the highest-voltage and the lowest-voltage battery cell group exceeds the set voltage difference, the switch connected to the highest-voltage battery cell group will be closed to shunt the charge current around the...
█ Discharge Low Voltage Reconnect 12.6V Undervoltage Warning 12.0V Undervoltage Shutdown 10.0V The parameters in the table are applicable to 12V (12.8V) battery packs. Please multiply by 2 for 24V (25.6V) packs and multiply by 4 for 48V (51.2V) packs. Battery Charging and Discharging Logic The battery may be received at a partial state of charge (SOC) depending on the time between manufacturing and shipping.
Discharging Logic During standard discharging, the battery is discharged at a constant current of 50A until the voltage drops to 10V. To ensure safe discharging, the battery temperature should be between -4°F (-20°C) and 131°F (60°C). To ensure safe and optimal battery usage, it is recommended to pair the battery with discharge equipment that features a low voltage disconnect (LVD) function.
Disconnect the battery from the charging source or loads as soon as possible. too high current passing through during charging or the battery. discharging. For further assitance, contact Renogy technical support service at https://www.renogy.com/contact- — 15 —...
