Freedom Lite Home and Business HV Installation Manual Revision 1
P a g e
7 | 25
Two RJ45 sockets [6] are provided, one for connecting the CAN interface from the battery to
the system controller or directly to the inverter depending on the brand, and another for
connecting the battery to another battery or for a termination resistor (more detail later in
manual).
A USB Serial Connector [7 - concealed] is fitted to the upper left-hand side of the housing for
use by technicians for programming the required profile onto the BMS or updating
firmware. The required profile is typically loaded by Freedom Won prior to delivery but
installers are advised to keep a USB “printer” cable handy during commissioning to allow
Freedom Won or the distributor to program batteries remotely on behalf of the installer via
the installer’s Windows laptop if necessary. A USB cable is provided with each battery.
An error reset button [8 - concealed] is positioned adjacent to the DB9 plug.
Freedom Lite is also fitted with a State of Charge (SoC) display [9], which includes a red LED
error indicator [10] and below it a “reduced power” indicator.

The ON button [11] and OFF button [12] are located beside the SoC display.
The Lite Home HV range can be wall mounted, but if a sturdy wall is not available floor
mounting is an option. The models 30/24 and upwards are supplied with a securing tab at
the top in the middle as part of the rear cover to secure the battery against the wall to
prevent it from tipping over [13].
Note:
this tab must not be used to support the weight of
the Lite, only to ensure it does not topple over when mounted on the floor. This tab is not
suitable for securing the Lite in a moving vehicle where vibration could occur.
All Lite’s have feet as standard, whether needed or not [15].
A hard point is supplied on the top for the 15/12HV and 20/16HV models [14] for inserting
an eye bolt that can be used for hoisting the battery onto the wall mountings. The Lite
30/21 and above are supplied with permanently installed eye bolt(s).
