Connect the battery cables 

• The gauge of battery cables shall be no 

less than 6 AWG with 105*C rating.

• No matter how the batteries are connected (in series or in parallel),

 make sure the

cables'  terminal  voltage  is  consistent  with  the  inverter's  specification  (12V  for
1000VA/1200VA model and 24V for 2000VA/2200VA model).

• It's recommended to cover the battery terminals during the connection.
• Check the polarity of cables before connecting to the inverter.
• Connect the battery cables to the inverter's battery terminals as shown

 below.

Connect with single battery 
Make  sure  the  battery  voltage  meets  the  inverter's  specification  (12V  for 
1000VA/1200VA modeland24V for 2000VA/2200VAmodel) 

battery

Connect with multiple batteries 

While connecting multiple batteries, use the same brand/type for all 
batteries. Do not mix the battery bank with different brand/type of 
batteries.
