Figure 6. Battery Cable Terminal Connection
NOTE
• All cable ends must be connected to battery terminals without any washers between
terminal bushings and cable ends.
Terminal burnout is caused by:
• Discharge currents exceeding allowable limits
• Improper cable installation
• Improper cable sizing
• Improper terminal torque
NOTE
• Without exception, a product experiencing terminal burnout will void the warranty.
9.7 Installing Batteries in Parallel Battery Wiring
For proper balancing and load sharing between parallel batteries, refer to
Figure
9-3, Batteries in Parallel Installation
. Lithium batteries are very sensitive to voltage, and
undersized battery cables impede battery and system performance. The thickness
(cross-section) of cables should exceed the recommended minimum for the
inverter-charger installation.
When installing four or more batteries in parallel, use a busbar configuration.
In a busbar configuration, use the same length cable for all battery cable sets,
regardless of the battery’s proximity to the busbar (or combiner box). Actual wiring
requirements may vary. Consult with the authority having local jurisdiction.
