Before Installing the Batteries
Tools
CAUTION
Always use insulated tools when you work with batteries. Always torque connections to
the manufacturer’s recommendations.
When you work with system batteries, you need the following tools. The tools must
be insulated so they do not short battery terminals to the cabinet. Wear the safety
equipment required by local code whenever the doors are open and whenever you
are working on batteries. Other tools may be necessary for optional batteries.

Digital volt-ohm meter
•
Conductive grease or petroleum jelly
•

Battery Cable Sizing
The battery cable or wire used varies. For the 100 AH battery (BAT-CG12105X) the
size is 6 AWG, for the 150 AH battery (BAT-CG12150X) the size is 4 AWG, and for
the 180 AH battery (BAT-CG12180X), the size is 2 AWG. This is because the
batteries string current varies with battery type.
If the battery cabinets must be more than two feet (0.6 meters) from the main inverter
cabinet, you may need to install larger battery cables between the battery cabinets
and the system. Using long cable runs and larger diameter cables require a modified
installation of the system; call SERVICE if you did not order the longer, larger-
diameter cable with the system.
DC Disconnect
Systems have a Main Battery Circuit Breaker inside the cabinet; this circuit breaker lets you
remove DC power from the batteries.
Installing and Connecting the Batteries
Battery Wiring Diagram
The battery interconnect wiring diagrams are in the rear of this manual and you should have
also received a copy with your system in the documentation. This battery-wiring diagram
shows how you should install the batteries, make terminal, and fuse connections. Use the
diagram as you follow the steps below.
