• Assegureu-vos que tots els components estiguin presents i sense danys.
• Comproveu el volum de la bateriatage matches your system requirements.
• Have appropriate tools ready (e.g., wrench for M8 terminals).
• Ensure the installation environment is dry, well-ventilated, and within recommended temperature ranges.

5.2 Pautes de connexió

1. La seguretat primer: Always wear protective gloves and eye protection during installation. Ensure all loads are disconnected and the system is de-energized before making connections.
2. Connexions de terminals: Connect the positive (+) terminal of the battery to the positive (+) terminal of your system/inverter, and the negative (-) terminal of the battery to the negative (-) terminal of your system/inverter. Use the provided M8 screws and ensure connections are tight to prevent resistance and overheating.
3. Connexió paral·lela (per a una major capacitat):
   • Connect positive to positive and negative to negative terminals of multiple batteries.
   • Ensure all batteries are of the same model, capacity, voltage, and brand.
   • It is recommended to use batteries purchased within 3 months of each other for optimal performance in parallel configurations.
   • Maximum parallel connection: Up to 4 batteries for 800Ah total capacity.
4. Connexió en sèrie (per a un volum augmentat)tage):
   • Connect the positive terminal of one battery to the negative terminal of the next battery.
   • Ensure all batteries are of the same model, capacity, voltage, and brand.
   • It is recommended to use batteries purchased within 3 months of each other for optimal performance in series configurations.
   • Maximum series connection: Up to 4 batteries for 48V / 51.2V total voltage.

5.3 Direcció de muntatge

The battery should be mounted in an upright position. The sides and tops of batteries cannot be placed face down. Ensure proper ventilation around the battery to prevent heat buildup.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

6.1 Càrrec inicial

It is recommended to fully charge the battery before its first use. Use a compatible LiFePO4 charger. Do not use chargers designed for lead-acid batteries unless they have a specific LiFePO4 charging mode, as this can damage the battery.

6.2 Càrrega i descàrrega

• Temperatura de càrrega: Charge the battery between 32°F and 113°F (0°C and 45°C). Charging outside this range may reduce battery life or cause damage.
• Temperatura de descàrrega: Discharge the battery between -4°F and 140°F (-20°C and 60°C).
• Profunditat de descàrrega (DOD): The battery supports 100% DOD, meaning it can be fully discharged without significant damage, unlike lead-acid batteries. However, for maximum lifespan, operating within 80% DOD is generally recommended.
• Protecció de sobrecàrrega: The built-in BMS will automatically cut off power if the load exceeds the battery's maximum output (2560W) or if there is an overcurrent condition. This protects both the battery and connected devices.
