The host summarizes the information of the entire battery system and communicates with the inverter through CAN or 485. The connection mode is divided into the following two cases: Pack...
3. Unpack the Battery The battery and the related accessories are packed in the carton box. Use tools to open the packing box. After open the packing box, confirm the product components according to the parts list. WARNING Violent unpacking is strictly prohibited. If the battery system is found to be broken, deformed or other abnormal conditions, the user shall immediately stop using the battery and contact us.
Power cable terminals: there are two pair of terminals with same function, one connect to equipment, the other one paralleling to other battery module for capacity expanding. For each single module, each terminal can achieve charging and discharging function. For power cables uses water-proofed connectors. It must keep pressing this Lock Button while pulling out the power plug.
4. Battery Installation This system must be installed by qualified, trained workers familiar with the required instruments. WARNING Be sure to use insulated tools (torque wrench, extension, socket, etc.). All the instruments must be insulated and no metal articles (e.g., watch, ...

9. Inverter Communica�on NOTE: The ESS Powertech ba�ery’s BMS comes factory preloaded with mul�ple inverter brand protocols. The default brands are listed below and only require connec�on with communica�on cable to the applicable interface port. (i.e. RS485 or CAN). Communica�on is established automa�cally. The 2 methods listed below are for default inverters (Method 1) or formanually selec�ng inverter...
NOTE: In order to manually switch BMS protocols you will need the BMS Tool and RS232 serial cable. Please contact ESS Powertech or vist our website for further details.The BMS protocol only needs to be changed on the master battery.
10. Battery recovery Aluminum, copper, lithium, iron and other metal materials are recovered from discarded LiFePO4 batteries by advanced hydrometallurgical process, and the comprehensive recovery efficiency can reach 80%. The specific process steps are as follows: 10.1 Recovery process and steps of cathode materials Aluminum foil as collector is amphoteric metal.
11. Transportation Requirements The battery products should be transported after packaging and during the transportation process, severe vibration, impact, or extrusion should be prevented to prevent sun and rain. It can be transported using vehicles such as cars, trains, and ships. Always check all applicable local, national, and international regulations before transporting a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery.
