Battery Panels
The Battery Panels come in two di
ff
erent
physical enclosures. The Living-Hinge Battery
Panels come in
fl
exible plastic enclosures that
are designed for easy installation by sliding
between the cabinet rack and the outside shell
of the cabinet. They need to be
fl
exible to get
around the rack during installation. The cabinet
size determines which Battery Panel to use and
how many you can put on a side.
The NEMA style batteries are in aluminum cases
and are made to sit on or underneath a shelf.
They can also be rack mounted with the
supplied mounting ears. All of the Battery
Panels are electrically identical.
Installation
UPStealth® Living-Hinge Battery Panels are installed by
fi
rst putting the included plastic block in the bottom of the area between
the rack and outside shell. Slipping the “Speedy Sleeve” in the space next to the rack will allow easier installing for the Battery
Panel by covering protruding screws. The Battery Panel can be installed from the front or the back of the cabinet. The metal
cover side should face the rack. In larger cabinets, one panel can sit on top of another. The Living Hinge Battery panels can be
used in any orientation.
The Battery Panels can contain any number of battery strings but typically have four or six battery strings. Each Battery Panel
has an intelligent controller that gathers data from each battery string, which is relayed back to the Inverter/Controller. Entering
into power fail mode is independent of the panel controller, so the battery strings can respond very quickly to a power failure.
This system con
fi
guration allows the individual battery strings to supply power to the Inverter/Controller even if communication
is lost between the Battery Panel, the Controller, each Charger and/or the Inverter/Controller. Each battery string has its own
Controller/Charger that maintains the battery cells. The charger section operates o
ff
of the AC line. This makes the charge time
independent of the number of battery panels in the system since each battery string has its own charger. The recharge time is
four hours worst case.
The Battery Panels can be recharged without connection to the main Inverter/Controller using the special included Wall
Charging Adapter. This cable can connect to standard wall AC outlets independent of the Inverter/Controller. The cable can be
left plugged in inde
fi
nitely without damaging the battery cells. The Battery Panel intelligence will maintain/protect the battery
cells.
