6.2 Conguration 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 conguration. The charge and discharge settings in a Open Loop conguration are set up through the controller for
the Power Conversion device at the time of installation. In a Closed Loop conguration, charge and discharge settings are
dynamically controlled by the BMS of the AES Battery over a connection with the Power Conversion device network. Closed
Loop communication with a Power Conversion device network requires the use of a LYNK Gateway Communication device
(p/n 950-0015) available from Discover Battery.
For Closed Loop and Open Loop conguration details please refer to the appropriate Application Note for your Power
Conversion device available from the Discoverbattery.com website, or contact your Discover Battery provider for assistance.
Note: Schneider Electric Conext branded devices communicate over Xanbus forming a Closed Loop conguration using the
Xanbus port located on the AES battery and do not require the use of a LYNK Gateway Communication device (p/n 950-
0015). Refer to Application Note 885-0013 Closed Loop Integration with Xanbus Enabled Schneider Electric Conext Products,
for detailed instructions.
7. Operation
▲ CAUTION!
Review operating limits.
7.1 On–O / Reset
• To set the battery to ON press and hold switch for 2-3 seconds
• To set the battery to OFF press and hold switch for 2-3 seconds
7.2 Charging
Before charging the battery make sure to read and understand the instructions that come with the Power Conversion device.
Never attempt to charge a battery without rst reviewing and understanding the instructions for the Power Conversion device
being used. Do not use or install a battery temperature sensor.
▲ CAUTION!
Always make sure the chargers charging curve meets the battery’s
charging requirement; never charge a visibly damaged battery; never
charge a frozen battery.
1. Connect the Power Conversion device’s charger leads to the battery.
2. Ensure the charger and battery side connections are tight.
3. Set the charger to ON
4. Set the battery to ON
▲ CAUTION!
NOT ALL CHARGERS ARE CAPABLE OF CHARGING LITHIUM BATTERIES
CONFIRM that your chosen charger is incapable of producing transient
spikes that exceed the published terminal voltage limits for the battery.
Spikes are fast, short duration electrical transients in voltage (voltage spikes), current (current spikes), or transferred energy
(energy spikes) in an electrical circuit. Voltage spikes usually happen when the AC/DC adapter is plugged in, or charge current is
cut off quickly. Multi voltage chargers are constructed using transformers that may be capable of producing spikes that exceed
the maximum ratings of the Discover AES Battery. You must ensure that the charger being supplied:
• Meets the recommended charge curve
• Incapable of exceeding Discover’s maximum terminal voltages
