What Do I Need for Installation? If your system is already set up and ready for the batteries, you will need a torque wrench capable of properly torquing the 5/16” finishing hardware. • Important: Properly torque the hardware to 9 to 11 ft-lbs. Failure to meet this specification may result in system damage or failure.
How to Properly Charge Your Battle Born Batteries To ensure optimal performance and longevity, it's crucial to charge your Battle Born batteries correctly. Please verify that any charging component in your system (such as converters, inverter chargers, solar charge controllers, or DC-to-DC...

Why Connect in Parallel? Multiple BB5024 batteries may be connected in parallel to increase the capacity and current of the system. When batteries are connected in parallel, the voltage of the system does not change, but the capacity and current limits are additive.
Page 20
Why Connect in Series? When batteries are connected in series, current capacities remain the same, but the system voltage is additive. For example, two BB5024 batteries connected in series form a 48V 50Ah bank (shown in the diagrams below) should be charged using a bulk and absorption voltage of 57.6V, and a float voltage of 54.4V.

-4°F (0°C) (-20°C) Note: The BB5024 | BB5024H has an operating temperature range of -4°F (-20°C) to 131°F (55°C). High Current Discharge Surges The BMS will not allow a current that exceeds 200 Amps for more than 30s, or anything larger for 0.5s.
Cable Sizing for System Installation Proper cable sizing is crucial for optimal system performance and safety. Several factors influence cable selection. Use this chart (the diagram shown below) as a general reference for selecting appropriate cable gauges based on the current and distance in your system.

ANL fuses are designed to protect your system by melting and separating in case of excessive current. These fuses are essential components for protecting against a catastrophic event and should be placed between your Battle Born Battle Born Batteries and the inverter/load. Voltage vs. Capacity (Single Battery) Battle Born LiFePO batteries, exhibit a characteristic voltage drop during discharge.
Note: A Current Surge Limiter (CSL) is required for use with inverters rated at 3500W or higher.
