Connecting to the Battery

To simplify the connection process it is advised to connect the battery to the inverter  

before

 mounting 

the battery according to the manufacturer instructions.
Follow these guidelines: 
 

l

For easy access to battery connectors, it is recommended to connect the cables to the battery and 
to set all the battery DIP switches to their correct positions while the battery is still on the ground. 
The following procedure is recommended:

 a.  Connect all the wires to the battery connection panel

 b.  Mount the battery

 c.  Assemble the conduit between the battery and the inverter

 d.  Connect to the StorEdge Connection Unit

 

l

Measure the necessary length between the StorEdge Connection Unit and the battery for all cables. 
The maximum distance between the battery and the inverter is 35 ft/ 10m, when using 16AWG for 
battery thermal power and 24AWG for battery control.

 

l

Tie and wrap the cables  to avoid pulling them out during mounting.

 

l

Be sure to adhere to all safety cautions and information in the battery documentation. 

 

l

The battery  connects to the DC side of the inverter. Since the inverter DC connections are on its left 
side, it is recommended to position the battery  to the left of the inverter to simplify wiring.

 

NOTE

Per NEC requirements, if the battery is more than 5ft/ 1.5m away from the inverter, an additional 

external DC switch ia required adjacent to the battery.

Prepare cables and connect as described in the following table (see
