Confirm the consistency between the battery packs, check the SOC and voltage and turn off the batteries before connecting them in parallel.

4.2 Low-temperature Application

• Low-temperature Charging

The battery pack does not support direct charging of the battery below 0^ C. When the minimum temperature of the battery is below 0^ C, the BMS will cut-off the charging circuit and cannot be charged.

- Low-temperature Discharging

The battery pack does not support discharge below -20^ . When the minimum temperature of battery is below -20^ , the BMS will cut-off the discharge circuit and cannot discharge.

4.3 Low Battery-capacity Storage (SOC≤5%)

After the battery pack is power off, there will be BMS static power consumption and self-discharge loss. In actual scenarios, it is necessary to avoid low-battery-power state (SOC≤5%) storage. If it is unavoidable, the longest storage period is 30

days@25°C, 15 days@45°C. The battery needs to be recharged in time after storage, otherwise the battery may be damaged due to over-discharge, and the entire battery pack needs to be replaced.

The following conditions may cause the battery pack to be stored in a discharged state:

  • After the utility power failure, the line/fault cannot be eliminated in time, and the power supply cannot be restored for a long time.
  • After the installation and commissioning work is completed, the utility power is turned off directly, but the battery pack is not powered off, which will cause the battery to enter the low power consumption mode.
  • Other reasons cause the battery pack to fail to enter low power consumption normally.

4.4 Application of Nearing the Ocean

The atmospheric corrosion environment is defined and classified according to the natural environment state, and the A/B environment is defined as follows:

  • A: environment refers to the ocean or the land near the pollution source, or the environment with simple shelter (such as awning). "Near the ocean" refers to the area 0.5 \~ 3.7km away from the ocean; "Near the pollution source" refers to the area within the following radius: 3.7km from the saltwater lake, 3km from heavy pollution sources such as smelters, coal mines, and thermal power plants, chemical industry, rubber, electroplating, etc. 2km from medium pollution sources such as chemical industry, rubber and electroplating, etc. And 1km from light pollution sources such as food, leather and heating boilers, etc.
