Battery Connection
CAUTION:
For safety operation and regulation compliance, it’s requested to install a separate DC over-current
protector or disconnect device between battery and inverter. It may not be requested to have a disconnect
device in some applications, however, it’s still requested to have over-current protection installed. Please refer
to typical amperage in below table as required fuse or breaker size.
WARNING!
All wiring must be performed by a qualified personnel.
WARNING!
It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use
appropriate cable for battery connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use the
proper recommended cable and terminal size as below.

Please follow below steps to implement battery connection:
1.
Assemble battery ring terminal based on recommended battery cable and terminal size.
2.
Insert the ring terminal of battery cable flatly into battery connector of inverter and make sure the nuts are
tightened with torque of 2-3 Nm. Make sure polarity at both the battery and the inverter/charge is correctly
connected and ring terminals are tightly screwed to the battery terminals.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Installation must be performed with care due to high battery voltage in series.
CAUTION!!
Do not place anything between the flat part of the inverter terminal and the ring
terminal. Otherwise, overheating may occur.
CAUTION!!
Do not apply anti-oxidant substance on the terminals before terminals are connected
tightly.
CAUTION!!
Before making the final DC connection or closing DC breaker/disconnector, be sure
positive (+) must be connected to positive (+) and negative (-) must be connected to negative (-).
