4.3 Battery Connection
The control panel battery charge capacity is 7.0 to 33 AH or 18 AH for ULC
installations. The main control cabinet can house batteries up to 7 AH, larger capacity
batteries can be housed in a Remote Battery Box (P/N RBB). See Section 4.3.1 for
details. Use 12V batteries of the same AH rating. Determine the correct AH rating as
per your current load calculation (see Section 3.6). Maximum charging current for
batteries is 3.1A @ 27 VDC.
Wire batteries in series to produce a 24-volt equivalent. Do not parallel batteries to
increase the AH rating.
The following steps and diagram explain how to connect the batteries.
1. Connect the black wire from the control panel negative (–) battery terminal to the
negative (–) side of Battery #2.
2. Connect the jumper wire provided (P/N 140694) from the positive (+) side of Bat-
tery #2 to the (–) negative side of Battery #1.
3. Connect the red wire from the control panel positive (+) terminal to the positive (+)
