5.
Charge Bank B fully, making sure all loads are disconnected at the time of initial charge
6.
Wire all Bank A batteries and Bank B batteries in parallel, adhering to the wiring methods outlined in
Section 4.3 above.
a.
Ensure that DC Positive common bus and DC Negative common bus ratings are appropriate
for the new larger quantity of batteries in the bank.
7.
Reprogram all inverter/charger and/or charge controller equipment for the new larger battery bank
capacity.
a.
New charging current parameters for the expanded bank should be appropriate for the
oldest included PHI battery model. For example, a battery bank composed of one PHI 3.5
battery with a maximum continuous charge rate of 34 Amps DC and one PHI 3.8 battery with
a maximum continuous charge rate of 37.5 Amps DC has a combined maximum continuous
charge rate of 68 Amps DC (
not
71.5 Amps DC).
