Volthium-25-6V-200Ah-Lithium-Rack-Mount-PRODUCT

The RACKMOUNT SÉRIES is composed of 100AH uUL1973 certified prismatic square cells and a CSA C22.2 breaker. There are 16 series, each of them is made up of a pack of 2 cells in parallel.
For more details refer to the technical sheet.

TERMINAL

These are brand names Amphenol. The terminal models attached to the battery (“Receptacle”) are “SLPPB35BNO” for the positive, and “SLPPB35BNB” for the negative.
They are only compatible with a “PLUG” type terminal from Amphenol SurLok with a caliber.
AWG-2 (35mm). Here is an example of a compatible connector (black): “SLPPB35BNB4”. You will find all the details and nomenclature of SurLok model numbers on the last page of the document. You will find official connectors at DigiKey, Newark and mouser. SurLok receptacles used on the battery are UL1977 certified.

CIRCUIT BREAKER

The Batteries are fitted with “Nader” brand circuit breakers. Depending on the battery version, this will be 125A or 150A. These are UL1077 & CSA C22.2 No. 235-04 and UL489 & CSA 22.2 No. 5 certified.

PARALLELING

When the DC current of the battery bank exceeds 150A, we suggest the use of BUSBAR. Each battery will connect to the BusBar using an AWG-2 cable, and then from the BUSBAR to your equipment with the cable of your choice.

ADDRESSING

It is important to define an address, using the DipSwitch, for each of the batteries. Each battery has 4 small switches. For example, for a single battery, put the first 3 switches to off, and the last to ON. For other configurations, refer to the diagram below.

RS485 CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN BATTERIES

Some devices, such as SOL-ARK inverters or Windows computers have the ability to read battery data using the RS-485 protocol. To do this, you will need to have previously set up the addresses using DipSwith, and then use a standard network cable, in order to connect the RS485 ports of each of the units with each other. Each of the batteries has 2 RS485 communication ports. If only 2 units are connected in parallel, put a single Cat5e / 6 network cable between the RS485 port (1/2) of battery 1, to the RS485 port (1/2) of battery 2. In the case of a third battery, connect the RS485 cable (2/2) of battery 2 to the RS485 port (1/2) of battery 3. And so on for the others.
Your compatible device (for example a Windows computer) can then connect to the master battery (battery # 1), and the entire battery bank will be visible.

CONNECTION TO VICTRON

First, make sure you have set the address on each battery. Then connect each of the batteries with a standard straight network cable (cat5e / 6). The batteries have 2 “Battery-comm” ports, connect each of the batteries using these ports.
The “CAN” port of the master battery will be used for Victron equipment.
To connect the VE.CAN port to the master battery, you will need to use a VE. CAN RJ45 communication cable be made especially for this type of communication? The Pin-out of these Victron cables is different than standard network straight cable. In addition, you will need to set the VE.CAN port to 500kb / s in your Victron Venus equipment.
To do this, On the GX device, Select the CAN-bus BMS (500 kbit/s) CAN-profile in the CCGX. Menu path: Settings → Services → CAN-profile.
Finally, use a terminating Victron connector to close the communication loop. This cannot be installed on the battery. Install it on Victron hardware. GX or Venus devices always have 2 CAN port, so it could be installed in the second port.

RS-485 & VICTRON

If you want to use RS-485 communication with a computer in addition to the connection with Victron, then each of the batteries will be linked together with 2 straight network cables. The address will remain the same. Understand that the RS-485 link is independent of the CAN link.
