█ For Batteries in Parallel Inverter DC-DC Battery Fuse Charger DC Distribution Charge Panel Controller █ For Batteries in Series Inverter DC-DC Battery Fuse Charger DC Distribution Charge Panel Controller How to Connect Batteries in Series or Parallel Calculate Battery Voltage and Current in Series and Parallel Connections The cables between each connected battery should be of equal length to ensure that all batteries can work equally together. -
Page 12: Balance Batteries Prior To Connection
Do not connect batteries with different chemistries, rated capacities, nominal voltages, brands, or models in parallel or in series. This can result in potential damage to the batteries and the connected devices, and can also pose safety risks. Avoid connecting batteries that have been purchased for more than half a year. Over time, batteries can degrade and their performance may decrease, which can affect their ability to deliver reliable power and may lead to safety hazards. -
Page 13: Series Connection Vs. Parallel Connection - Installation Steps
It is recommended to periodically rebalance the battery voltages every six months when connecting multiple batteries as a battery system. Slight voltage differences can occur among batteries over time due to factors like battery chemistry, capacity, temperature, and usage patterns. Series Connection vs. -

Page 15: Charging/Discharging Parameter Settings
Charging/Discharging Parameter Settings It is recommended that a single 12V 20Ah battery should be charged at 10A with a maximum allowable charging current at 20A. For single-battery scenarios, we recommend using 12V charge controllers rated at least 10A. For added safety and flexibility, a 12V 20A charge controller or battery charger is an ideal choice. -
Page 16: Discharging Logic
Lithium batteries are compatible with various charging methods, including MPPT charge controller, AC charger, and DC-DC charger. The crucial parameter setting for these chargers is to set the charge voltage, boost voltage, or bulk voltage at 14.2V (±0.2V). Do not overcharge or overdischarge the battery. Do not charge the battery at low temperatures below 32°F (0°C) and discharge the battery at high temperatures above 140°F (60°C). -
Page 17: Battery Management System
Battery Management System The battery is equipped with a Battery Management System (BMS) that provides warnings and protections against overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, high temperature, and low temperature conditions. Refer to the table below for the triggering and recovery conditions of each warning and protection. -
