Place battery module in the enclosure then slide the 
brackets inward on each side of the battery and 
tighten the wingnuts to secure.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wiring the battery modules (Battery enclosure 1) 

 

CAUTION! 

Do not reverse the positive and negative of the battery input terminals. 

 

Note: 

The battery conductors and communications cables are labeled and located 

inside the enclosure. Carefully cut cable ties and connect as shown. When 

properly installed a 

“click” will be heard.

 

 

Three types of cables are located inside the EI Battery enclosure: 

 

The 

PCS 

communication cable is used to connect the batteries to the Battery 

Management System (BMS) inside the EI Battery enclosure. Only one battery module 1 
(upper battery) is connected directly to the BMS in a single EI Battery installation. 

 

The battery modules are connected in series by the 

Link-In

 and 

Link-Out

 

communications cables.  

 

The battery modules are wired together for power using the 

BAT+

 and 

BAT-

 

conductors. 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: 

The battery module serial numbers will be needed later during the commissioning 

and warranty completion. The serial is provided on the battery module as well as 

its box. Note which battery is installed in each position on the respective box.
