Appendix I: Notes
- Please set Battery Mode to Lithium and configure the Lithium Mode according to the inverter setup described in the Battery List above.
- The purchaser should confirm with the battery supplier if the battery is compatible with the Growatt inverter. Growatt will not be liable for any failure caused by communication issues.
- Pylontech Batteries: If using Pylontech batteries, the communication cable provided by Pylontech must be used to ensure proper communication and compatibility.
- EG4 Batteries: If issues occur while using EG4 batteries, upgrade the battery firmware to the latest version and verify if the problem persists.
- CF Energy Batteries: CF Energy Batteries do not support wake-up by the inverter. If the battery is discharged to the maximum allowable Depth of Discharge (DOD) and shuts down:
- Press the power button to restart it.
- Then, use grid power or PV power to recharge the battery to restore normal operation.
- Bicodi Batteries: Please make sure that the firmware version of Bicodi Batteries is above V1.2.1T2.
- Leoch Battery: Please make sure that the firmware version of Leoch Batteries is above P1547V320-18751-3.02C-000.

Appendix II: Lithium Battery Commissioning for SPH Inverters
This section provides instructions for commissioning lithium batteries with SPH inverters.
1. Battery Mode Setup
Description of UI elements: The "Battery Settings" screen displays fields for "Battery Mode", "Battery Capacity", "Max Charge", "Max Discharge", "Use Battery v", "Use Battery %", "No Battery", and "Revive Battery".
Action: Choose "Lithium" for Battery Mode.
2. Communication Protocol Setup
Set the communication protocol according to the Inverter Setup column in the Battery List provided earlier in this document.
3. Max Charge and Max Discharge Settings
Description of UI elements: The "Battery Settings" screen shows fields for "Lithium Mode", "LBCO", "LBCO Alarm", and "LBCI".
Max Charge: The maximum charge current is provided automatically by the Battery Management System (BMS) and cannot be changed if communication is successful.
Max Discharge: Set the battery capacity and maximum discharge current according to the specific battery parameters.
Description of UI elements: Another "Battery Settings" screen shows fields for "Recharge", "Charge Rate", "Grid Charge", and "Gen Charge".
4. LBCO, LBCO Alarm, and LBCI Configuration
LBCO (Low Battery Cut Off): The inverter will shut off its AC output if the actual battery capacity falls below this value. The backup load can still be powered by the grid. The default value is 10%. The minimum value that can be set is 5%.
LBCO Alarm: The inverter will send an alarm if the actual battery value reaches this value. The default value is 20%. The minimum value that can be set is 10%.
LBCI (Low Battery Cut In): The inverter AC output will resume if the actual battery capacity reaches this value. The default value is 30%. The minimum value that can be set is 29%.
Constraint: The set values must satisfy LBCO < LBCO alarm < LBCI. Otherwise, the settings will not be successful.
Constraint: The Battery SOC / Volt setting of TOU needs to be less than the LBCO alarm value for the settings to be successful.
5. Charge Rate and Grid Charge Setup
Grid Charge: Enable Grid Charge to use the grid to charge the battery.
Charge Rate: Set the charging current from the grid.
6. Recharge, Charge Rate, and Gen Charge Setup
Recharge: When there is a blackout and Automatic Start for the generator is enabled, the generator will automatically start and power the loads if the actual battery capacity is lower than the Recharge value.
Charge Rate: Set the charging current of the generator.
Gen Charge: Set the charging current of the generator.
