cable to connect the communication port of the battery module and the high-voltage

control box, and 11x160mm communication cables to connect the battery module

communication port (IN-OUT) from top to bottom.

 The OUT communication port of the last battery module does not need to be connected to

communication cable. Instead, this port is sealed with a 120ohm terminal resistor.

5. Take out a 180 mm positive power cord and connect the positive pole of the battery module

at the top to the positive pole of the high-voltage control box. Take out 22x110mm battery

module power cords and connect the power ports (B- to B+) in a top to bottom order to

form a series circuit. For aesthetics, connect the negative power pole of the first battery

module to the negative power pole of the high-voltage control box from the bottom of the

battery module to the back of the rack. On the back of the rack, a plane-head-shaped tie is

used to secure the cable harness.

6. Take out the external positive power cord EPCable2.0 and external negative power cord

ENCable2.0, and plug them into PCS interfaces, respectively.

7. Take out the ground wire A and connect one end of it to the M4 rivet nut of the high-voltage
control box panel, and the other end to any M6 screw hole of the cross beam above the rack.

Take out the ground wire B (user need to prepare in advance) and connect one end of it to

any M6 screw hole of the cross beam under the rack, and the other end to the customer's

grounding point. (The length of the ground wire B is determined based on the customer's

condition.)

7. Maintenance and upgrade

Warning! Improper decommissioning may cause damage to the equipment and/or

battery inverter.

Before maintenance, ensure that BOS-A is decommissioned according to relevant provisions.

Note: All maintenance work shall comply with local applicable regulations and standards.

The USB disk port of BOS-A has the functions of upgrading firmware and recording battery

data, which can be used as an auxiliary tool.

7.1 Maintenance of BOS-A

To ensure safe operation, all plug connections must be checked. If necessary, relevant operators

shall press them back into place at least once a year.

The following inspection or maintenance must be carried out once a year:

• General visual inspection

• Check all tightened electrical connections. Check the tightening torque according to the values

in the following table. Loose connections must be retightened to the specified torque.
Connection mode Tightening torque
High-voltage control box grounding 4.5Nm
Fixing the lug of the high-voltage control box 1.2Nm
Fixing the lug of the battery module 1.2Nm

• Using the monitoring software, check whether the SoC, SoH, battery voltage and temperature

of the battery module are abnormal.

• Shut down and restart BOS-A once a year.

Note: If the system is installed in a polluted environment, maintenance and cleaning must be

carried out at short intervals.

Note: Clean the battery rack with a dry-cleaning cloth. Ensure that no moisture comes into

contact with the battery connections. Do not use solvents.

51
7.2 USB’s Upgrade Step

1. USB type: USB2.0, FAT32.

2. Create the upgrade folder according to the directory.

3. Place the upgrade file provided by the supplier in the upgrade folder.

4. Turn on the battery, and insert the USB flash disk after the blue indicator is on.

5. After the blue light indicator flashes and turns off, pull out the USB flash disk to complete

the upgrade. Do not turn off the battery during the process.

6. After the blue light indicator of the battery lights up again, check the version number

through the screen or app and verify the upgrade result.

8. Battery Module Storage

A. To ensure the battery service life, the storage temperature shall be kept between 0°C~35°C.

B. The battery shall be cycled at least once every 6 months.

C. To minimize self-discharge in a long storage period, disconnect the battery connection (1/2)

of the high-voltage control box of the DC connecting cable. This will interrupt the use of the

12 V power supply installed in the high-voltage control box and prevent the battery from

self-discharging.
