and regulations in addition to the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (for US) and Canadian Electrical Code (for Canada).
CAUTION: Hazardous Voltages! This inverter contains hazardous voltage and energy that may be lethal. It may only be installed by
qualified personnel who have read this manual and are familiar with its operation and hazards. The following safety procedures
should be followed:
Only connect the PCS cabinet to a compatible electrical service as defined in the model specifications. The PCS must be connected to a
dedicated branch circuit in the main electrical panel.
An external disconnect switch shall be provided in the end installation by others for the AC Grid output circuit.
CAUTION! This equipment contains high energy lithium batteries. Qualified and trained personnel should wear protective clothing and
equipment when working inside the battery cabinet and/or with battery modules.
CAUTION! The batteries provided with this system must be charged only by the PCS included as part of the energy storage system. Do not
attempt to charge batteries with any other charger device or connect any devices directly to the DC battery bus.
Ensure proper electrical grounding in accordance with code requirements.
Ensure proper airflow path for active cooling.
Never operate system in a manner not described by this manual.
Only qualified personnel should service this product.
Ensure all covers are securely fastened after installation is complete.
This product must be stored indoors in an environmentally conditioned location prior to installation, protected from rain and exposure to any
hazardous chemicals.
Do not attempt to operate this product if there is any physical evidence of damage to any of the cabinets or internal components.
CAUTION! This equipment is heavy. Mechanical lifts are recommended for safe installation.
California Proposition 65
WARNING! This product can expose you to chemicals including bis (2-ethylhex-yl)phthalate, which is known to the State of California
to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/.

Battery Expansion Cabinet Installation – batteries #5 to #8
The DURACELL POWER CENTER 5 kW system supports up to two additional expansion cabinets. Where duplicated, the mechanical assembly
and wiring instructions will be referenced to previous sections within this document. All instructions specific to the first expansion cabinet are
documented below, with battery modules numbered 5 to 8 inclusively. Startup and operation, section 8, remains unchanged.
A.1 Initial Inspection of Material List – top level system components
The system components supplied with your DURACELL POWER CENTER 5 kW are shown below. Each component should be inspected visually
for any damage that may have been caused by shipment. If damage is present, please contact your local distributor.

A.2 Wall bracket installation
The expansion cabinet is included with a wall bracket
extension that is secured to the base system’s bracket.
1. Align the expansion bracket to the base bracket and
secure with the mounting hardware provided.
2. IMPORTANT! Secure the bracket to the wall
using a minimum of four 5/16” lag bolts in
atleast two wall studs.
A.3 Mounting the cabinet to the wall
1. Remove the cabinet coupling end plate from the lower right side of the base battery cabinet and install it on the lower right port hole of
the expansion cabinet.
2. Follow the cabinet installation instructions in section 4 to secure the cabinet to the wall.
A.4 Battery module assembly
1. Follow the assembly instructions in section 5.2 through 5.4.
2. See section 5.5 (figure 12) – remove the lower DC- cable (referenced A3) from the DC- terminal, and replace with the cable
referenced A5 in figure 25 below.
A.5 Battery module wiring
1. Connect the internal power and communication jumper
cables as shown in sections 5.5.1 and 5.5.2. Note the
relative position of batteries 5 thru 8 as they mirror
batteries 1 thru 4.
2. Route the DC power cables, referenced A4 and B4,
through the coupling port and terminate them at battery
#8.
3. Remove the DC+ breaker assembly.
4. Remove the DC+ cable referenced B3 (section 5.6, figure
12) and replace with the cable referenced B5 (shown
right). Torque to 15 in-lbs.
5. Mount the DC+ breaker assembly.
6. Route the BMS jumper cable referenced C3 through the
cabinet coupling port and terminate at the link port
terminals at battery #4 and #5.

Electrical Block Diagram – Internal
The following table / diagram defines the internal electrical wiring of the DURACELL POWER CENTER 5 kW, including the base and two
additional expansion battery cabinets. The diagram is for illustrative purposes, and does not reflect the actual physical orientation of the
battery modules within the cabinets.
Note: DC power cables marked by an asterisk (*) in the table above indicate required modifications to the cable set used in the base battery
cabinet. Only one set of “home run” DC power cables is used per complete system. For example: adding one expansion battery cabinet
requires the replacement of [A3] / [B3] with [A5] / [B5] “home run” cables, and the addition of [A4] / [B4] “daisy chain” jumper cables.
Note: Battery module ground cables are one per battery, with a “home run” to the cabinet chassis ground terminal.
