Advanced Lithium Battery Installation
Advanced Lithium Battery - 100Ah Battery InstallationThe 100Ah battery has the following components:
1. Power button with status LED
2. RV-C ports
3. Integrated heater for low temperature charging
4. Slanted sides prevent batteries from being installed without an air gap between them for cooling
5. Integrated screw holes for easy mounting. This works well for width limited enclosures.
6. Staggered terminals allow parallel/series connections without much wire interference
> Mount the battery on wall either in vertical or standing position with the screws and the mounting bracket.
> Do not mount the battery on the wall without the mounting bracket.
> Do not mount the battery on the wall with mounting bracket in horizontal position.
> Maximum of 8 batteries can be connected in parallel.
> Maximum of 4 batteries can be connected in series.
Advanced Lithium Battery - 300Ah Battery Installation
The 300 Ah battery has the following components:

Important Disclaimers
Mixing Batteries
Do not install batteries with different functionality. "Smart" batteries should not be installed with any other type. This causes:
- Miscommunication between BMS components
- Improper charging
- Voided warranty
Recommendation: Install the same batteries in a single bank.
Mixing Old and New Batteries
Do not install new batteries with old ones. Older batteries may have reduced capacity and internal resistance, which can cause:
- Uneven charging/discharging
- Reduced overall battery life
- Potential overheating or failure
Recommendation: Replace all batteries in a bank at the same time.
Mixing Battery Sizes or Chemistries
Never combine batteries of different amp-hour ratings or chemistries (e.g., AGM with lithium). This can lead to:
- Imbalanced charging cycles
- Inaccurate state-of-charge readings
- Voided warranty coverage
