3. Setup

Initial Inspection:

Upon receiving your DATOUBOSS LiFePO4 battery, carefully inspect the packaging and the battery for any signs of damage. Ensure all terminals are secure and free from debris. If any damage is found, contact customer support immediately.

Battery Connection (Series and Parallel):

The DATOUBOSS 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery supports both series and parallel connections to achieve desired voltage and capacity. Always ensure all batteries are of the same model and capacity when connecting in series or parallel.

• Parallel Connection: Connect positive terminals together and negative terminals together to increase total capacity while maintaining the same voltage.
• Series Connection: Connect the positive terminal of one battery to the negative terminal of the next battery to increase total voltage. Ensure all batteries are at a similar state of charge before connecting in series.
• Maximum Configuration: The battery supports up to 4 series and 4 parallel connections (4S4P) for a maximum load power of 20.48 kW.
