Q. What could happen when connecting different model of Sirius Module parallel/series together?
A. Modules can be connected in parallel or in series if they will have:
- Same Voltage
- Same Capacity
It is possible but not recommended especially connecting old BMS design to the new one. The system
might get unpredictable during extreme scenarios like Module charge full or low.
Q. Is it possible to connect Sirius Module in parallel with other chemical batteries such as lithium-
ion or lead acid?
A. It is possible but not recommended. Make sure the total voltage of each battery is the same as the
Module and the charging voltage does not exceed the Module’s maximum voltage. The possible
drawback is that you will not get the total capacity of the chemical battery because extreme voltages
are not the same.
Q. If we set the cutoff voltage on the charge controller systems /inverter end to 45V, will that allow
the Module to sit at idle for longer periods of time to avoid an undervoltage situation.
A. Yes.
Q. Which is most compatible charge controller systems/ inverter, and whether any charge
controllers have been integrated with Sirius in this application?
A. All charge controllers that are compatible with our Module specification (please refer to user
manual of Module) can be used with Sirius Module, however you must follow the charging curve of
Sirius module.
Also, Kilowatt labs can provide Centauri Energy Server for microgrid system for more information
