5.1 Tools • • • • Insulated tools must be used Voltmeter Post cleaner and wire brush Personal protective equipment 5.2 Battery Location Locate the batteries close to the inverter in order to minimize the length of the battery cables. Care should be taken to ensure adequate clearance above the batteries is maintained for access to both battery and inverter connections and disconnects. A Discover AES Wall-Mount Bracket (p/n 950-0018) is available for use with AES Battery model 42-48-6650.

5.5 Parallel Battery Wiring To ensure proper balancing and load sharing between parallel batteries refer to the wiring diagram below. Lithium batteries are very sensitive to voltage and undersized battery cables will impede battery and system performance. The thickness (cross section) of cable used should exceed the recommended minimum for the inverter charger installation whenever possible. Five or more batteries in parallel should be installed using a busbar configuration.
PAGE 8
6.2 Configuration with Power Conversion and Monitoring Devices AES batteries must be set up to work with Power Conversion and Monitoring devices in either an Open Loop or Closed Loop configuration. The charge and discharge settings in a Open Loop configuration are set up through the controller for the Power Conversion device at the time of installation.

7.3 Charge Curve 1. 2. 3. 4. Charge at constant current to 3.4 V per cell module (Bulk). Maintain constant voltage 3.4 V per cell module (Absorption). Terminate when charge current drops below 2A. Optional Float at 3.35V per cell module (Float). 100% Absorption Float I1Max 3.6 80% 3.4 U1 U2 I1Rec 60% 3.2 40% 3 20% 2.8 Voltage - U Cell Voltage [V] Charge Current % of Bulk Charge C-Rate [%] Bulk Current - I ▲ CAUTION! Do not charge battery higher than 3.4 V per cell module.

7.5 Storage Systems should be stored out of direct sunlight in compliance with the following temperature conditions: Minimum Storage Temperature -20°C / -4°F Maximum Storage Temperature 45°C / 113°F Batteries should be put into storage at 80% SOC and checked monthly to ensure the SOC does not fall below 20%. At 20% SOC the battery will self discharge in approximately 2 months. ▲ CAUTION! Do not store a discharged battery. Recharge battery after every use.
