- Unpack Batteries + Check Voltage
- 1. Unpack the batteries and turn each battery on by itself.
- 2. Note the voltage of each battery and serial number. The serial numbers are useful during warranty submittal.
- 3. The batteries must be within +/-0.5V of each other before commissioning. Groups of 4 batteries or more may require a narrower voltage range to commission properly.
- 4. Turn off the batteries and install them in parallel. Notes
- If the battery voltages are significantly different, one technique is to finish battery installation and only turn on the lowest voltage battery using the pushbutton. Charge the battery, and when the charging voltage is ~0.2V above the resting voltage...
- If the batteries are slightly more than +/-0.5V from each other, turning on the highest voltage batteries only will reduce their voltages, and turning on the lowest voltage batteries only will lower the highest voltage. Likewise, turning on the lowest...
- Use of the Fortress firmware update tool can help speed up commissioning times. Fortress installers should request a firmware update tool by filling out a support ticket at https://support.fortresspower.com

20% state of charge is approximately 51.2V-51.4V.
95% charge is approximately 53.7V. A 100% charge 54.4V.
NOTE: Voltages are assuming an open circuit resting measurement. The settings that
would discharge the battery down to 49V, are too low for Fortress batteries. Fortress
batteries should only be intentionally discharged down to 20% SoC or 51.4V and then
be recharged by available charging sources.
