Battery Bank Preparation
You should have read the section titled “Battery Considerations” on
page 2–10 in the previous chapter before starting this procedure. For more
information, see Appendix C, “Battery Information” .
Prepare the battery bank as follows:
1. Determine the type of batteries to be used for the installation.
See “Battery Types” on page C–2 in Appendix C for information on
types of batteries and their applications.
2. Determine the appropriate battery bank size and battery configuration
for the installation.
See
“Battery Requirements for Dual Inverter Systems” on page 2–15
for information on stacked (dual) inverter systems.
See
“Battery Bank Sizing” on page C–4 for additional information on
calculating battery bank size and “Battery Configurations” on
page C–9 for information about how to wire the selected battery
configuration.
Important: The inverter is not reverse polarity protected. Reversing
the battery polarity on the DC input connections will cause permanent
damage to the inverter which is not covered under warranty. Always
check polarity BEFORE making connections to the inverter
