02 Product Overview
Brief Introduction
The CAML 20051 WM-LV is a lithium battery with an operating voltage range between 44.8V to 57.6V. It is designed for residential energy storage applications and works in conjunction with a 51V battery hybrid inverter. This model is not suitable for supporting life-sustaining medical devices.
The CAML 20051 WM-LV features a built-in Battery Management System (BMS) that manages and monitors cell information, including voltage, current, and temperature. The BMS also balances cell charging to extend cycle life and provides protection functions against over-discharge, over-charge, over-current, and high/low temperatures. The system automatically manages charge state, discharge state, and balance state.
Multiple CAML 20051 WM-LV units can be connected in parallel to expand capacity and power, supporting up to 15 units in parallel.
Interface Introduction
The unit features an air switch and a circular weak current switch for power control. LED indicators display battery status and State of Charge (SOC).
Switch ON/OFF Procedure
To Turn ON: Activate the air switch, then press the circular weak current switch for more than 3 seconds. The LED indicators will flash, and the battery will operate normally. LEDs L1 to L6 display the battery SOC, while L7/L8 indicate the battery status.
For multiple units in parallel, press the ON/OFF button on the MASTER battery for more than 3 seconds. The LED will flash, and the battery system will automatically encode and assign IDs to each slave battery.
To Turn OFF: Press the circular weak current switch of the master pack for more than 3 seconds and release. When all slave packs are closed, the master pack will enter sleep mode. For a single CAML 20051, turn off the circular weak current switch. For multiple units in parallel, turn off the master battery's switch first, then turn off all subordinate batteries' switches.
LED Indicator Definition

➡️ Installation Instructions
? Dimensions
The unit dimensions are 800mm (height) x 500mm (width) x 227mm (depth). Minimum mounting distances of 150mm are required around the battery pack and equipment for proper ventilation and access.
Installation Procedure
- STEP 1: Drill holes using a 12mm drill bit and fix the wall bracket to the wall. The bracket requires specific hole placements as indicated by dimensions (e.g., 470mm, 406.4mm, 203.2mm).
- STEP 2: Secure the mounting bracket (upper and lower parts).
- STEP 3: Hang the CAML 20051 WM-LV battery onto the wall mounting bracket and secure it tightly using fastening screws.
- STEP 4: Connect the grounding cable to the PE terminal.
- STEP 5: Connect the power cables to the inverter (to Inverter B+ and B-).
- STEP 6: Connect the communication cables (Link in, CAN, Link Out) to the inverter's CAN port.
- STEP 7: Follow specific wiring methods based on the number of units and inverter power.
Wiring Methods for Parallel Operation
General Notes: Load power exceeding 14kW requires at least 2 units in parallel operation. The maximum number of parallel units is 15. The inverter's power must be less than the battery module's maximum output power.
- Connection Mode 7.1: For 1 unit, with load power below 14kW.
- Connection Mode 7.2: For 2-15 units, with load power below 14kW. (Diagram shows in-layer modules; middle units omitted for clarity. Ensure equal length for positive and negative connecting lines.)
- Connection Mode 7.3: For 2-15 units, with load power over 14kW (when using an inverter of 10kW or above). (Diagram shows connection to a combiner cabinet; middle units omitted for clarity. Ensure equal length for positive and negative connecting lines.)
Important Warnings:
- ⚠️ Ensure power cables are installed with correct polarity to avoid dangerous situations.
