8. Use a CAT5/5e or greater cable to connect the CAN or RS-485 port of master battery (the Battery ID set

as 1) to inverter communication port.

9. Turn ON the inverter breaker, then turn ON all battery DC breakers, and then press the button of master

battery (Battery ID 1) for 8+ seconds to turn off. Finally, press the button on the master battery for 3+ seconds

to start the automatic PARALLEL PROCESS.

10. The master battery orders the lowest voltage battery of the whole system to pre-charge and turn on

relay, and request charge current from inverter. As the battery voltage increases, batteries join the

parallel circuit one by one. After all batteries are in parallel, the process ends.

4.7 BATTERY CONNECTIONS

Wire the battery cables and connect them to positive and negative common bus respectively.

For parallel battery connections ensure identical wire lengths and wire type from each eVault Max to the DC

combiner.

NOTE: When installing multiple units ensure the recommended spacing distance among units of at least

5inches (12mm).

1. Connect the positive and negative cables from the DC combiner to the inverter.

2. Switch the battery breaker to the “ON” Position

3. Switch the inverter breaker to the “ON” Position

CAUTION! If paralleling the eVault Max 18.5 batteries without connecting them via RJ45 cable(s),

please make sure the difference between the highest voltage and lowest voltage does not exceed

0.5 volts. A large current flow from the higher voltage battery to the lower voltage battery and could

potentially damage one or both batteries. Resulting damage to the battery will void the warranty.

CAUTION! Verify polarity at all connections with a standard voltmeter before energizing the

system. Reverse polarity at the battery terminals will void the Warranty and destroy the batteries. Do

not short circuit the battery.
