4.6.3. Connecting Lithium batteries in series

 

Caution!  Before connecting 2 or more Lithium batteries, the Lithium batteries must be 

charged to 100% SoC.

 

Caution!  For more than 4 Lithium batteries in series connection consult Whisper Power or 

your dealer.

 

Caution!  Depending on the installation a precharge circuit is needed. For further informa-

tion consult Whisper Power or your dealer.

When using Lithium batteries in series configuration CAN balancing is required (see para-

graph 4.7.4.).

The CAN power cable is necessary for CAN balancing. 

In installations with more than 2 batteries in series the CAN power cable should be pow-

ered from an external 24V power supply. The external voltage on the CAN powercable shall 

not be higher than 28.8 Vdc.

4.6.4. Connecting Lithium batteries in parallel  

 

Caution!  Before connecting 2 or more Lithium batteries, the Lithium batteries must be 

charged to 100% SoC.

 

Caution!  For more than 4 Lithium batteries in parallel connection consult Whisper Power 

or your dealer.

 

Caution!  Depending on the installation a precharge circuit is needed. For further infor-

mation consult Whisper Power or your dealer.

 

Caution!  When batteries are placed in parallel configuration, the used relay shall be suit-

able for the current used by the application.
