Step-by-step:
- Ensure both batteries are switched OFF.
- Connect the yellow communication cable (RJ45) from the "Battery" port of the first battery to the "Battery" port of the second battery.
- Connect the positive terminals of both batteries together using appropriate cables.
- Connect the negative terminals of both batteries together using appropriate cables.
- Set the ADS button on the first battery to position 1.
- Power on both batteries.
- Verify balanced voltage and other battery parameters on the built-in screen.

1.2 Inverter Connection
Connect the battery system to your inverter for power conversion and distribution.
Video: Demonstrates how to connect the 48V 100Ah lithium battery to an inverter, including power and communication cable connections.
Step-by-step:
- Ensure the battery and inverter are switched OFF.
- Connect the battery positive cable to the inverter's positive terminal.
- Connect the battery negative cable to the inverter's negative terminal.
- Connect the communication cable from the battery's communication port (e.g., RS485A or CAN) to the corresponding communication port on the inverter.
- Connect the loaded power strip via the load output of the inverter.
- Power on the battery, then the inverter.
- Verify that the inverter can read the battery parameters for monitoring.
