2Brief Introduction

2.1 Product Description

The EG4 12V-LL rack-mounted lithium batteries are ideal for low-voltage energy storage system

applications. These batteries use lithium iron phosphate cells with the highest safety performance and a

battery management system (BMS) that can monitor and collect voltage, current, and temperature of

each cell within the module in real time. The BMS also includes a passive balance function and an

advanced battery control strategy, which can help improve the battery pack's performance. The battery

includes dual, onboard, fire-extinguishing modules for added safety.

3.2 Location Selection and Installation

3.2.1 Storage

There are a few steps you can take to ensure that batteries are stored safely and in a state that will

ensure they are not damaged during storage. These are detailed below.

Battery State

The state of the battery when placed into storage will affect how long it can be stored as well as the

battery’s condition when it is brought out of storage. EG4 recommends that each battery is brought to a

100% SOC (state of charge) before placing it in storage. Lithium iron phosphate batteries will lose a

certain percentage of their total charge while in storage, depending on how long they are stored and the

conditions they are stored in. We recommend recharging the batteries after 8 – 9 months in prolonged

storage.

Environmental Factors

The environment you store your EG4 battery in can greatly affect the health of the battery. For best

results, the temperature should remain moderate, between 41°F and 68°F (5°C and 20°C). Keep the

battery away from locations where it may get wet or locations with high humidity (>55%). Store the

batteries away from combustible materials.

3.2.2 Requirements for Installation

Warning

•Before using batteries, inspect them for signs of damage. Never use damaged or puffy batteries.

Please contact the distributor if a battery is received in this state or experiences this issue.

•Avoid exposing batteries to conductive materials, such as water, strong oxidizers, and strong

acids.

•Avoid putting batteries in direct sunlight or on extremely hot surfaces.

•Keep all flammable materials out of the working area.

•Use caution when handling batteries and/or battery-powered devices to avoid damaging the

battery casing or connections.

Important

3.2.3 General Installation

Note: This chart applies for a 200A continuous output (one battery). Where ambient temperature is

above 86°F (30°C), cable size must be increased according to NEC 310. The 2 AWG cable included in the

package is intended only for the connection from the module to an EG4 battery rack.

Danger

When adding or removing a battery from any rack, cabinet, or busbar, turn off ALL batteries, and

use a voltmeter to confirm there is no voltage present. This will prevent users from encountering live

(powered) busbars by accident. Failure to do so can result in severe injury and/or death.

Tools needed for installation

The tools required may vary depending on how you choose to mount your battery. Typically, the

following items are needed to install the battery into an EG4 battery rack solution or general racking.

1. 13mm socket and ratchet

2. Phillips head screwdriver

3. Torque wrench

4. M8-1.25 terminal bolts (included in package)

Connecting cables to the battery terminals and busbars

1. Identify the positive and negative terminals on your battery. These are labeled and color coded

(red for positive, black for negative).

2. Verify you have all hardware to attach the cable properly. Check to ensure the bolt threads fully

into the terminal and can be tightened to the proper torque.

3. Connect the cables to your battery terminals by removing the M8 terminal bolts, inserting them

through the eyelet of the proper cable, and reseating the bolt into the terminal block to the

correct torque.

4. Connect the positive battery cables to your positive busbar by removing the bus bolts, inserting

them through the eyelets of the proper cable, and reseating the bolt into the busbar to the

proper torque value. Repeat with all negative cables.

5. DO NOT finger tighten the battery terminal bolts. They require a specific torque to ensure they

do not loosen during operation. Failure to properly tighten the terminal bolts can result in

serious damage and will void your warranty.

until the battery is firmly seated in the rack.

2. Follow steps 1-3 in Connecting cables to the battery terminals and busbars from Section 3.2.3 -

General Installation. Use the included 2 AWG

power cable to connect each battery to the

busbar.

3. DO NOT finger tighten the battery or busbar

terminal bolts. Both require a specific torque

[60 in. lbs. (7 Nm)] to ensure they do not

loosen during operation. Failure to properly

tighten the terminal bolts can result in serious

damage and will void the warranty.

4. Clearly identify the location of the system’s

positive and negative terminals—red to the

positive terminal and black to the negative

terminal—to ensure no connection errors.

Then connect to the equipment or switch

terminals.

Grounding

You can attach a grounding wire from the

rack/cabinet to an equipment grounding

conductor, then terminate the EGC at a grounding

electrode.

Warning

Do not ground rack/cabinet or door to

negative or positive bus bars!
