How to Size Battery Adapter Cables? Use appropriately sized Battery Adapter Cables (sold separately) based on expected load. Refer to the table below for copper cable ampacities with different gauge sizes. Cable Gauge Size Ampacity Cable Gauge Size Ampacity 14 AWG (2.08 mm²) 2 AWG (33.6 mm²) 190A 12 AWG (3.31 mm²) -
Page 9: Step 1. Plan A Mounting Site
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 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. - Page 15 Battery System 12V (12.8V) 200Ah Energy 2560Wh Battery System 12V (12.8V) 800Ah Energy 10240Wh █ Series Connection Battery System 24V (25.6V) 100Ah Energy 2560Wh Battery System 48V (51.2V) 100Ah Energy 5120Wh █ Parallel & Series Connection Battery System 24V (25.6V) 200Ah 2P2S Energy 5120Wh...

Battery System 48V (51.2V) 200Ah 2P4S Energy 10240Wh Battery System 24V (25.6V) 400Ah 4P2S Energy 10240Wh Battery Cell Balancing The battery employs bypass circuit to maintain the balance between each battery cell group. 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. -
Page 18: Discharging Logic
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. -
