Step 2 Voltage Balancing Before Connection
Below two steps are necessary to reduce the voltage difference between batteries and let the battery system perform the best of it in series or/ and in parallel.
Step 1
Fully charge the batteries separately.
(voltage at rest: 226.66V)
Step 2
Connect all of the batteries in parallel, and leave them together for 12~24hrs.

Step 3
They’re now ready for the connection.
Step3 Battery-to-Battery Connection
#1 Connect Batteries in Series
to
After series connection, the voltage of the battery system will be doubled accord- ing to the number of batteries you connect.
E.g. If two 24V 50Ah TM batteries  are connected in series, the battery system will be 48V (51.2V) 5OAh.

#2 Connect Batteries in Parallel
to
to
Refer to Page 11 for total input & output connection
After parallel connection, the capacity of the battery system will be doubled according to the number of batteries you connect.
E.g. If two 24V 50Ah TM batteries are connected in parallel, the battery system will be 24V (25.6V) LOOAh.

#3 Connect Batteries Both in Series & Parallel
Connect in parallel first, then series.
Step 1
Connect the batteries in parallel.

Step 2
Connect the paralleled battery systems in series.

Step 4 Total Input & Output Connection
Use two copper bars (instead of battery terminals) to connect all the positive and negative output/input cables, ensuring that the input & output currents of each battery are balanced. (Not required when connecting batteries only in series.)
It is not recommended to use one terminal as the total positive or negative output/input of the battery system as the connected terminals may heat up or even melt if the total output/input current of the battery system is too high.

① As of ①/③/⑤/⑦ Wis connected in series with of ②/④/⑥/⑧ please do not connect of ①/③/⑤/⑦ with @ of load or of ②/④/⑥/⑧ with of load, otherwise the battery system will fail to connect in series.
② Please do not connect in reverse order, which may affect the use of the batteries.
Step 5 Rebalancing Every 6 Months
It is recommended to rebalance the battery voltage every six months following Step 2 on Page 9 if you’ re connecting multiple batteries as a battery system, as there might be voltage differences after six months of the battery system running.
