Mounting the Battery (5kWh)

Procedure:

The battery must be mounted in an upright position with a maximal tilt angle of 15 degrees.

Space Requirement

Position Min.size
Left 600
Right 600
Top 1200(inverter not included)
Bottom 50
Front 300

STEP 1:
Prepare the battery box and remove the upper cover (fixed by buckle)

STEP 2:
Install the remaining bottom frame accessories on the 5 kW battery (when installing, take out the 3 rubber plugs on the bottom frame accessories, and then use 3 M5-10 stainless steel cross round head triple combination screws to fix the bottom frame on the battery, and then put back the rubber plug)

STEP 3 :
Drill holes on the wall (diameter 12mm, drilling depth≥ 65mm, unscrew 5 M8-60 expansion screws, and put the expansion head into the drilled hole
note: the height of the drill hole must be ≥200mm

Operating of the Battery

LED Indicator

The LED indicates the operating state of the battery and also battery SOC.
Battery status can be monitored remotely via an inverter monitoring portal when installed with Soltaro Hybrid Inverters.

LED Explanation
Blue The battery’s status is normal;

  means SOC= 0~25%(SOC1) SOC1 will flash when charging means SOC=25%+25%~50%(SOC2) when charging, 25% indicator light is on and SOC2 will flash

means SOC=50%+50%~75%(SOC3) when charging, 50% indicator light is on and SOC3 will flash

means SOC=75%+75%~100%(SOC4) when charging, 75% indicator light is on and SOC4 will flash

Red| • If the battery SOC is below 5%, all the lights will be red.
• When there is a service alert, all the lights will be red.

Turn On/Off the Battery
  • When turning on the battery, turn on the isolator firstly, then switch on the battery;
  • When turning off the battery, switch off the battery firstly, then disconnect the isolator.
