MULTIPLE BATTERIES
To connect multiple batteries, ensure you use the supplied RJ45 to RJ45 (standard LAN cable) and
plug the one end into the master “Battery Link”, and the other end into battery #2. Continue this
step until all the batteries has been linked up
Continue to wire up the DC block terminals of each battery to the inverter/charger. Once you have
completed the address configuration, inverter-battery communication links and wired up the DC
connections you can proceed to configure the inverter charge settings.
NOTE: BATTERY LINK CABLE
If you do not have a battery link cable or the cable provided is an insuffi
-
cient length, you can use a standard computer LAN cable to connect each
battery. The pin layouts for the ports are the same as the universal LAN
cable.
WARNING: PROTECTION MODE
If your batteries are unbalanced or the voltage of each pack is different by more than 2 Volts DC
then your packs will try to inter balance by over 100Amps. This could cause the other batteries in
the configuration to Over Current and go into protection mode. If this occurs, charge each pack full
individually with the inverter/charger, then switch the other packs on once each has been charged
to 100%.

CORRECT METHODS OF BATTERY LINKING
Please note the below diagrams for the correct method of linking multiple batteries in parallel.
Diagram 1, displays a standard linking connection. Digram 2, displays parallel batteries to which
the negatives and positives are connected to common buzz bars.
