connection for multiple loads (multiple wires directly connected to the battery terminal) 

 

4. Use power cables with proper gauge 
 

Users are advised to select the proper length and specifications of power cables to fit the power rating of their 
applications. The Energy Pak has been designed to handle a maximum current of 250A. The required cable 
specifications for different current ratings are listed below. The size of the cable will also vary depending on 

the length of the cable run. Consult with an electrician to ensure the cable is sized according to the electrical 
code within your region. 
 
 

Undersizing the power cables can potentially cause a risk of equipment damage or personal injury.  

 

It is recommended that at least 2 people are present during the installation. This is a common 

safety practice when working with electrical equipment in case of electrocution.  The weight of the Energy 
Pak (33 kg - 115 kg depending on model) cannot be readily handled by one person.  
 

Once the power cables have been connected to the Energy Pak and to the load, it is ready for use.
