WARNING: Shock Hazard
Installation must be performed with care due to high battery voltage in series.
CAUTION!!
Do not place anything between the flat part of the inverter terminal and the ring
terminal. Otherwise, overheating may occur.
CAUTION!!
Do not apply anti-oxidant substance on the terminals before terminals are
connected tightly.
CAUTION!!
Before making the final DC connection or closing DC breaker/disconnector, be sure
positive (+) must be connected to positive (+) and negative (-) must be connected to negative
(-).
3.4.2 Lithium Battery Connection
If choosing lithium battery for Growatt SPF series products, you are allowed to use the lithium battery only which
we have configured. There're two connectors on the lithium battery, RJ45 port of BMS and power cable.
Please follow below steps to implement lithium battery connection:
1.
Assemble battery ring terminal based on recommended battery cable and terminal size (same as Lead acid, see
section 3.4.1 for details) .
2.
Insert the ring terminal of battery cable flatly into battery connector of inverter and make sure the bolts are
tightened with torque of 2-3Nm. Make sure polarity at both the battery and the inverter/charge is correctly
connected and ring terminals are tightly screwed to the battery terminals.
3.
Connect the end of RJ45 of battery to BMS communication port(RS485 or CAN) of inverter.
4.
The other end of RJ45 insert to battery communication port (RS485 or CAN).
Note:
If choosing lithium battery, make sure to connect the BMS communication cable between the battery and
the inverter. You need to choose battery type as “lithium battery”
