Introduction

The Easy Battery lithium battery is a product of Terre Power for energy storage, manufactured in Spain.
Easy Battery 6 kWh is manufactured in 24V and 48V. It is specially designed for both off-grid and grid-connected photovoltaic applications.

Easy Battery includes a management system (BMS) for the cells that make up the battery, this BMS is configured and it is strictly forbidden to modify the configuration (it can cause irreparable damage to the lithium ion cells).

This battery is compatible with the inverters that can be configured the working voltages. (Operating range 24 V: 23.75 – 30 Vdc ; 48 V: 47.50 – 60 Vdc)

Characteristics

The case is made of high quality cold rolled steel in black color.

Each unit is delivered with 2 handles, 1.5 meter red and black 25mm copper cable set2 with quick connectors for connection to the battery and 25/8 copper terminal.

Lithium ion cells CATL type Pouch NMC are used, which are characterized by high power and a very high cycle life.

The battery management system (BMS) has protection functions for over- discharge, over-charge, over-current and high/low temperature.

The system automatically manages the charging and discharging and balances the voltage of each cell.

Easy Battery is delivered with the BMS configured and can work with several battery modules in parallel to expand capacity. In order to install multiple batteries in parallel it is important that you contact your distributor for installation instructions. The Easy Battery can only be configured in parallel with other units of the same model and voltage.

The module has a very low self-discharge, up to 6 months without charging; no memory effect, excellent charge-discharge performance; the working temperature range is -10° to 45°.

The battery has a standard 19″ rack cabinet size.

Installation diagram

It is mandatory to use the battery with inverters that allow regulating the minimum cut-off voltage, also if it is a hybrid you will need to configure the charge voltages according to the model specification.

If solar regulators are used, these must not exceed the charge value indicated according to the model.

A wrong load configuration can cause the battery BMS to give a stop order and the battery will have to be serviced and restarted again.

A fuse must be installed between battery and inverter with the following characteristics:

Example of installation

Installation

When installing the batteries Terre Power 6 kWh 24v/48v, the charge/discharge parameters to be entered in the inverters and regulators, as well as the temperature values (see section 1.1) must be taken into account.

The battery EASY BATTERY 6 kWh 24v/48v, has no communication with external elements and may require special configuration of these devices for operation.

Each battery power cable can carry a maximum of 125A.

• With the 24 V system, the use of an inverter greater than 3000 W per battery is not recommended.
• With the 48 V system it is not advisable to use an inverter higher than 6000 W per battery.

It is advisable to install the battery inside a 19″ communication rack. Install the battery in a place where it cannot fall and where there are no flammable or explosive materials nearby.

It is advisable to use 125 A fuses and fuse holders that cut off the power supply between the battery and external elements.
