Each AXE 5.0L consists of 100Ah cells which form 51.2V voltage battery module and
sixteen serial connection (1P16S). A single cluster can connect up to 10 batteries in
parallel, and up to 8 clusters in parallel to expand the capacity and power of the energy
storage system. The same type of cell and the same software version of the PACK can be
used in parallel. Specifically, the AXE battery system powers the loads through PCS at
nighttime without solar; when solar becomes available during daytime, solar energy
powers the loads as a priority and store residual solar power into the AXE batter system.
1.2 Appearance
1 Product Overview
1.1 Intended Use
AXE 5.0L consists of battery module (including cell and mechanical parts), battery
management system (BMS) as well as power and communication terminals. Product
appearance is shown as below.
Fig 1.1: Battery size diagram
12
1.3 Working Principle and Function
AXE 5.0L is an energy storage unit composed of electrochemical cells, switch button,
battery management unit, power and signal terminals, and mechanical parts.
It features better charge and discharge performance, more precise status monitor, longer
cycle life, and less self-discharge loss than other batteries.
The scalability is very strong, a single cluster can connect up to 10 batteries in parallel,
and up to 8 clusters in parallel to expand the capacity and power of the energy storage
system.
The whole battery system communicates to Power Conversion System (PCS) via CAN.
ØMonitoring: voltage, current and temperature detection of both single cells and PACK.
ØProtection and Alarm: protection and alarm when overvoltage, under voltage, over
current, over-temperature or under temperature occurs. See Appendix I for details.
ØReport: report all alarm and status data to PCS.
ØPower off triggered by fault: PACK and PCS communication drop for 25 minutes or
under voltage protection for 2 minutes.

1. If both RUN/ALM and SOC lights turn on
normally, PACK is powered on successfully.
2. If RUN/ALM light turns red, there is a failure
and should solve it before power on again.
4.6 About mixing old and new batteries in parallel
Please ensure batteries in parallel connection are from the same batch, same model
and same manufacturer. Do not mix an old battery with a new battery. Batteries
undergone less than 300 cycles are defined as new batteries.The installation time of
the newly added battery and the installed battery is less than or equal to 1 year, and
the newly added battery must be within the shelf life of 6 months.

5.2 Power off
Press the power button to turn off the PACK and five LED lights will flicker for three
times. If under the situation of multiple packs in parallel, only turning off one of the
packs then the whole battery system will turn off.
Power on the PACK by PCS
1
Connect the battery and PCS
Make sure the wiring harnesses are well
connected
2
Close the breaker of the PACK
Make sure the breaker is ON
3
Power on the PCS. PCS outputs
a wake up signal of 5V or an
output main circuit voltage
signal of 46-58V
1. If both RUN/ALM and SOC lights turn on
normal, PACK powers on successfully.
2. If RUN/ALM light turns red, there is a failure
and should solve it before power on again.
Maintenance Guide 6
6.1 Preparation
6.2 PACK Replacement
§Wear safety gloves.
§Open the breaker and power off the PACK.
§Remove your safety screw under the power supply, and disconnect the power cord and
CAN communication line of the PACK.
§Remove the safety part at the left end of the battery and lift the PACK upward.
§Put the PACK into the packing box according to the repair procedure and transport the
PACK to the designated repair site.
§Install new PACK based on procedure specified in Section 4.

ØTools like safety gloves, cross head driver and socket wrench should be prepared.
ØTurn off and turn on new PACK.
1. If the PACK is power-off. Press power button for 3-5 seconds to turn on.
2. If the PACK is power-on. Press power button once to turn off.
Before maintaining the battery, turn off the breaker and press power button once to
make sure the PACK is power-off. Follow the installation and wire connection procedures
specified above. Ensure wires are properly connected before turn the breaker on. After
that, turn on the breaker and press power button of any PACK for 3-5 seconds to check if
the system normal works.
3.When installing or maintaining, it is recommended that the battery SOC be at
35%～45% percent.
