3. Place batteries into each position in the Battery Box. It is recommended that all

positions be populated in the box at all times. If less than 12 batteries are available,
be sure to load equal quantities of batteries in banks A and banks B, as both banks
are required for the final output voltage. For best results always use 12 Batteries.
Also, for best results use Batteries with similar SOC.

4. Mechanical robustness of the final assembly is maintained if batteries are loaded in

the corners and center of the unit first, leaving gaps in other areas. See Figure 3-4
for suggested partial loading sequences. Expected performance and battery life
requires 12 batteries to be loaded into the unit. The Battery Box state of charge is
based upon all twelve positions being populated and will reflect lower values if partial
population is used. Note that an equal number of cells are loaded on each side of
the Battery Box. Besides distributing the weight batteries are required in both banks
for the Battery Box to function.

5. Once the batteries are installed in the unit, place the Battery Latching tray on the

unit. Secure the four latches in place by twisting the buckle clockwise and folding
towards base of the unit to lock. See figure 3-5 for guidance.
