How to Recharge

Notice Before Charging

• This product supports wall charging, solar panel charging, and car charging.
• This product supports charging and discharging at the same time.
• Do not use a charging cable not officially designated by Growatt for charging. Otherwise, Growatt will not be responsible for any consequences.
• When charging, please make sure to place the machine away from liquids, flammables, and combustibles.
• If the product is charged immediately after full-load discharge, over-temperature protection may be triggered for battery safety reasons. It typically takes 2-3 hours for the product to cool down before another charge.
• The product’s recharging temperature range is 0-40° C{32°F-104° F). Charging within the ideal charging ambient temperature temperature 50°F-82°F(10° C-28° C) can greatly extend the battery life.

AC Charging and Car Charging
The AC charging ports for the INFINITY 1300 are located on the right side of the product. Please follow the instructions below to connect and recharge the product.

AC Charging

Car Charging

PV Charging
The series and parallel connection methods of solar panels ensure that you are connecting the solar panels correctly for charging. If the product is damaged due to an incorrect connection not per the instructions, Growatt will not be responsible for the free maintenance of the machine within the warranty period. The solar charging ports for the INFINITY 1300 are located on the left side of the product. The INFINITY 1300 DC input range is 12V-100V. You must ensure that the input voltage is within the specified range. When the input voltage exceeds 1 00V, the excessive voltage may cause damage to the product, and the INFINITY 1300 will trigger over-voltage protection.

This product supports AC and solar panel charging at the same time. The solar charging method is preferred, and the AC charging method is used to supplement when the PV input power is insufficient.

Connect with Growatt Solar Panels
You can charge the INFINITY 1300 by connecting up to two 24V solar panels in series or using one 12V solar panel two sets in parallel with each set of four panels in series). Connect the MC4 connector on the solar panel to the MC4-XT60 adapter cable, and supply power to the INFINITY 1300 through the XT60 port on the side of the INFINITY 1300. When you need to connect two solar panels, it is recommended to connect the two solar panels in parallel, and then use the MC4-XT60 adapter cable to connect to the INFINITY 1300 for charging.

Connecting to Four 24V/200W Solar Panels in Series

Connecting to Eight 24V/100W Solar Panels(Two Sets in Parallel with Each Set of Four Panels in a Series)

Connect with Other Branded Solar Panels
Users can purchase other brands of solar panels (supporting MC4 Connector) to power the INFINITY 1300 through their channels. As long as the voltage and current are within the DC input range of INFINITY 1300 (12V-100V/12A Max), users can charge INFINITY 1300 through the MC4to XT60 adapter cable.

Please follow the figure below to connect the positive and negative poles. Incorrect connection may result in damage to the product. During the warranty period if a product is damaged due to quality problems of the third-party solar panels or improper operation, Growatt is not responsible for free maintenance during the warranty period.

Instructions for Advanced Features

UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply)
The INFINITY 1300 supports the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) function. In UPS mode, the AC power comes from the grid, not the battery. When the power grid is cut off, INFINITY 1300 will automatically switch to battery power supply mode within 20ms, providing a highly stable power supply for your load.

UPS Use Guide
When using wall charging as the input method, turning on the AC output and plugging in devices on AC ports will automatically activate the UPS mode. Please connect the device according to the figure below to enable the UPS function.

Precautions Before Using the UPS Feature

• This function is a non-professional UPS function and does not support OMS switching. Please do not connect it to equipment that is highly sensitive to uninterrupted power supply, or perform multiple tests before use.
• UPS only supports the use of electrical appliances below 1800W, and do not use other devices at the same time during use to avoid overload protection.
• UPS function is only supported when one INFINITY 1300 is running independently, and it is not available when multiple INFINITY 1300s work in series.
• Growatt is not responsible for equipment failure or loss of data if the instructions are not followed.

Multi-unit Expansion in Series
You can use AC adapters to connect up to three INFINITY 1300s in series to get a larger battery capacity. When you use this expansion method, you will need to define one of the units as the master and the rest as slaves. You need to connect the AC output port of the Master Unit to the AC input port of Slave 1, then connect the AC output port of Slave 1 to the AC input port of Slave 2, then plug the load device into the AC output port of Slave 2(as shown in the figure below), and finally turn on the AC output power of all INFINITY 1300 to enable battery expansion.

When using this expansion method, make sure that each unit is fully charged, otherwise, an overload protection will be triggered. After use, it is recommended to charge each unit separately to avoid excessive burden on the home grid.
