The battery packs can be easily expanded by making additional parallel connections across the
battery connection terminals. Up to 3 parallel connections can be made across each positive
and negative set of terminals.
1. Make sure any existing batteries are disconnected/isolated from the inverter/charge
controller.
2. Loosen the cable glands, remove the terminal plate covers and remove any existing
cables/ring terminals from the connection boxes.
3. Using a stepped drill bit, drill an additional hole along one of the free side walls of the
connection boxes which would be 90 degrees to any existing connections. Drill the
correct sized hole so that the new M25 cable glands fit snug.
4. Remove any metal filings from the connection boxes using a pressurised air canister.
5. Create any new connections and restore any existing connections, tighten the
connection terminal screws, restore the plate covers and tighten all cable glands
securely to ensure a water/dust tight finish.
