5.6 Commissioning Parallel Systems
When commissioning a system with parallel batteries ensure that all batteries are charged to 100% State of Charge (SOC)
before setting all batteries to ON.
▲
CAUTION!
Failure to ensure all batteries are at equal SOC when commissioning a
paralleling system may result in blown battery fuses.
Before energizing power electronics ensure that all batteries are set to ON.
5.7 Configuration with Power Conversion and Monitoring Devices
AES batteries must be set up to work with the Power Conversion devices in either an Open Loop or Closed Loop
configuration. The charge and discharge settings in a Open Loop configuration are set up through the controller of the
Power Conversion device at the time of installation. In a Closed Loop configuration, charge and discharge settings are
dynamically controlled by the BMS of the AES Battery over a connection with the Power Conversion device network.
Charge sources with compliant J1939 Canbus communications can be used directly with AEBus. All other Closed Loop
communication with a Power Conversion device network requires the use of a LYNK Gateway Communication device
available from Discover Battery.
For Closed Loop and Open Loop configuration details please refer to the appropriate Application Note for your Power
Conversion device available from the Discoverbattery.com website, or contact your Discover Battery provider for assistance.
