). Also use the voltmeter to
make sure that the voltage drops across each battery interconnect is very close.

Digital Voltmeters
Use any standard digital voltmeter with a 0.1V accuracy tolerance to verify battery polarity before
making any connections. Also use the voltmeter to measure the voltages of the batteries after the
initial charge to ensure they are all within 0.2V (or less) of each other.

Environmental Conditions for Batteries
Ensure the location of the battery bank is dry and as well protected from extreme temperatures as
possible. No ventilation is required as these do not off-gas like lead-acid batteries do.

Installation
Once all Pre-Installation conditions have been met, proceed with installation according the following
instructions.
3.2.1.
Configurations
The KiloVault® HLX series of batteries can be used 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V configurations where one,
two, three and four batteries, respectively, are connected in a row (plus to minus).
The maximum number of batteries in a bank is limited to sixteen (4 in parallel and 4 in series). Each
row of batteries must be kept within 0.2V of each other or the battery bank may prematurely
shutdown during charging and discharging.
