DANGER
DANGER
Assign at least three persons or use a lifting trolley to move a battery module.
When using a lifting trolley, adjust the trolley to facilitate transportation and
installation.
● If you use a lifting trolley to install a battery module, the center of gravity of
the module is on the tray when the module is pushed beyond the warning
line. You can lower the tabletop of the lifting trolley to separate the module
from the tabletop, and then push the module inwards. Doing so prevents the
front cover of the battery module from colliding with the lifting trolley.
● If you use a lifting trolley to remove a battery module, the center of gravity of
the module is on the trolley when the module is pulled beyond the warning
line. You can raise the tabletop of the lifting trolley to separate the module
from the tray, and then pull the module outwards. Doing so prevents the tail
of the battery module from colliding with the front cover of the battery
module on the lower layer.
WARNING
Tighten the screws on copper bars or cables to the torque specified in this
document. Periodically confirm whether the screws are tightened, check for rust,
corrosion, or other foreign objects, and clean them up if any. Loose screw
connections will result in excessive voltage drops and batteries may catch fire
when the current is high.
WARNING
When installing batteries, do not place installation tools, metal parts, or sundries
on the batteries. After the installation is complete, clean up the objects on the
batteries and the surrounding area.

SmartLi 3.0
CAUTION
● When moving batteries, do not remove protective components such as

protective covers or waterproof caps from battery terminals.
● Do not hoist or move battery modules by using battery wiring terminals.
● The batteries to be installed are from the same manufacturer and of the same
model.
● Install and secure batteries horizontally from the bottom up and from left to
right to prevent falling over due to imbalance.
● When connecting batteries, ensure that the spring washer on the screw is
leveled, that the protruding part of the terminal on the cable faces outwards,
and that the cable is intact.
● Place the batteries correctly to prevent vibrations and shocks.
● Ensure that screws are tightened with a torque tool and marked in red and
blue after double-check. Installation personnel mark tightened screws in blue.
Quality inspection personnel confirm that the screws are tightened and then
mark them in red. (The marks should cross the edges of the screws.)
NOTICE
● Before installing batteries, carefully read the safety precautions.

● Before installing batteries, ensure that the air conditioner in the battery room is
started and that the ambient temperature and humidity are controllable.
● If the equipment will not be powered on after installation, take dustproof
measures (for example, use a dust cover) to prevent equipment damage due to
dust buildup inside it. Remove the dust cover only when the equipment is ready
for operation.
● After the installation is complete, take anti-condensation measures and keep
the air conditioner running. Do not store the equipment in an environment
where the temperature and humidity are uncontrollable for a long period of
time. Otherwise, the equipment may be damaged due to condensation.

Step 6 After installing copper bars and cables, check that battery strings are insulated
from the cabinet. Set a multimeter to the DC voltage mode and measure the
voltage between the uncoated part of the battery cabinet and the positive and
negative terminals of each battery string respectively. If the readings are less than
6 V DC, the insulation is good. Otherwise, contact technical support engineers.
Step 7 After checking that the battery strings are well insulated, close the front cover of
each battery module.
NOTICE
When closing the front cover on a battery module, check and arrange all cables of
the board (the cascading cable must be placed in the notch). Ensure that no cable
is squeezed by the covers.
Step 8 Attach PP sheets to the notches of the battery modules on the top layer to
prevent foreign matter from falling into the cabinet.

● If cabinets are installed close to each other, use a
multimeter to check whether the copper bars of
the corresponding polarity in the adjacent
cabinets are conducted to verify the wiring
polarity.
● If cabinets are installed far away from each other,
short-circuit any wiring copper bar and PE
(enclosure) in one cabinet, and use a multimeter
to check whether the copper bar of the
corresponding polarity in another cabinet are
conducted with PE (enclosure) to verify the wiring
polarity. Before the copper bar in cabinet 1 is
short-circuited with PE, the copper bar of the
corresponding polarity in cabinet 2 should not be
