To save on your costs and installation space, parallel UPSs can share external battery cabi-
nets. In common battery mode, please install an isolated switch between each UPS and its
connected battery cabinets. Please see
Figure 3-10 for two parallel UPSs sharing one ex-
ternal battery cabinet.

If parallel UPSs share external battery cabinets, you should use the control panel to set up
‘TYPE(AH)’, ‘BAT STRINGS’, ‘FLOAT CHARGE VOLT(V)’, ‘BOOST CHARGE VOLT(V)’,
and ‘CHARGE CURRENT(A)’. Please refer to
8.7.3 Battery Setup and 8.7.4 Charger
Setup .

each UPS boost voltage (default: 288V) the same, and set each UPS charge
current even. For example, when two UPSs are paralleled, they share one battery
cabinet, battery type is 120AH, and you want to set the battery cabinet’s charge
current as 20A. You should set each UPS ‘TYPE(AH)’ as 60AH, ‘BAT STRINGS’ as
1, and ‘CHARGE CURRENT(A)’ as 10A.
