1 Product Overview
1.1 Product Description
Each ABM 5.5L-A1-H consists of 106Ah cells which form 51.2V voltage battery module and 16
serial connection (1P16S). A Single cluster can connect up to 6 batteries in parallel to reach 30KWh.
In order to meet the needs of customers' household power supply, it is combined with the SIM 6000
ES Plus-H Inverter into a household photovoltaic energy storage system, with protection functions
such as overcharge, overdischarge, overcurrent, overtemperature and short circuit. At the same time,
in order to better serve customers, the company has big data background for easy after-sales
maintenance, but also equipped with APP display function, USB plug U disk upgrade function and
remote upgrade functio.

1.4.2 Through inverter remote upgrade
Through our inverter, connect to WiFi for remote upgrade;
The LED light that displays the SOC continuously flashes at 500ms during the upgrade process;
The host will upgrade the slave machine in turn after the upgrade is completed;
The device in the slave upgrade displays the SOC LED light flashing continuously at 500ms;
The LED displays normally after the upgrade.
Note: Inverter remote upgrade mode can only upgrade the battery host.
2 Safety
