will be inside the box with the battery, or they may be included in the shipment in separate
packaging. These items include the following:

○ Rack Style Design
○ Built-in BMS (Battery Management System)
○ High Performance A+ cells with laser welded connections
○ Hardware for connections is included with battery
● Battery Communication Cable
● Positive and Negative Color Coded Connection Cables
What Tools Are Needed For Installation
Tools required may vary depending on how you choose to mount your battery. In general, you
will need the following items to install your battery into a racking solution and to attach cables to
the terminals of the battery.
● 10mm socket and ratchet
● Phillips screwdriver
● Torque wrench of proper size
How To Connect Cables To Your Terminals
1. Identify the positive and negative terminals on your battery. These are labeled and color
coded
red for positive (+)
,
and
black for negative (-).
2. Verify you have all finishing hardware to attach the cable properly. Check to ensure the
bolt insert for the terminal fully seats and can be tightened to the proper torque.
3. Connect the cables to your battery terminals by removing the terminal bolts, inserting
them through the eyelet of the proper cable, and reseating the bolt into the terminal
block to the correct torque.
4. DO NOT
finger tighten the terminal bolts. They require a specific torque to ensure they
do not loosen during operation. Failure to properly tighten the terminal bolts can result in
serious damage and will void your warranty.
Connecting Your Batteries Together
When you are connecting your batteries together, you will need to ensure you are following
correct practices and procedures to guarantee proper operation. Signature Solar recommends,
in most cases, connecting your batteries to a busbar in order to connect it to your system. When
operating in parallel this helps ensure that batteries stay close in voltage. It is important to verify
your system requirements and use before connecting, and when making decisions on whether
to connect in series or in parallel.
