5.2 Electrical Connections

Important: Ensure all power sources are disconnected before making any electrical connections.

1. Terminal Connections: Connect the positive (+) terminal of the battery to the positive input of your inverter/charger, and the negative (-) terminal to the negative input. Use the provided terminal screws and ensure connections are tight.
2. Grounding: Connect the grounding wire from the battery to a reliable ground point in your system.
3. Parallel Connection (for multiple batteries): If connecting multiple batteries in parallel, use the provided parallel power cables to connect the positive terminals of all batteries together, and similarly for the negative terminals. Ensure all batteries are at a similar State of Charge (SOC) before connecting in parallel.
4. Communication Connections: Connect the communication cables (CAN/RS485) between the battery and your inverter or monitoring device. Refer to your inverter's manual for specific communication port requirements.
