Batteries
The unit support either 48 volt or 96 volt battery bank depending on the model. Please refer to
figure 2 to wiring battery correctly. Before proceeding, ensure you have appropriate size batteries
for this inverter. The unit can use flooded lead-acid, or sealed GEL/AGM lead-acid batteries so
ensure that your batteries are in one of these categories.
The battery must be wired to match the units DC input voltage specifications. Suggest battery
capacity not smaller than 100AH (IPS5000R)/50AH (IPS5000L).

DC Disconnect and Over-Current Protection
For safety and to comply with regulations, battery over-current protection and disconnect devices
are required. Fuses and disconnects must be sized to protect the DC cable size used, and must be
rated for DC operation. Do not use devices rated only for AC service – they will not function
properly.
Note that some installation requirements may not require a disconnect device, although
over-current protection is still required.
