Connecting power cables
Connect power cables between the battery modules and the higher-level system via
busbars.
CAUTION
When connecting power cables, pay attention to these precautions:
• Never connect battery modules in series. They must be connected in parallel.
• Make sure that the higher-level system is off before connecting power cables
to it.
• Make sure that all the power cables are of equal length. If some cables are
longer than others, the difference in length may cause different electrical re-
sistances and consequently voltage imbalances between the battery modules.
• The total extension length of the power line from a battery module to the
higher-level system must not exceed 5 m.
• Never short-circuit the busbars that connect the battery modules and the
higher-level system.
• Make sure that the polarities are correctly connected.
