Links to the installation manuals relevant to this kit are listed at the back of this manual.
This manual is intended to be used by qualified installers. Although it is quite detailed, it is meant only as an overall guide to
the installation and not to replace the OEM manuals supplied by the relevant equipment manufacturers.
All electrical work should be performed in accordance with local and national electrical codes. Assume that voltage is present
at the battery terminals; use insulated tools and gloves while working on the system. Always turn off equipment connected to
the battery to isolate it from other electrical circuits before performing any repairs or maintenance on the system.
Always use the appropriate size cable to connect the system to inverters, chargers or other equipment. Always use crimped
connections to connect to the battery terminals. Read and follow the inverter, charger or other equipment manufacturer’s
safety precautions prior to connecting the battery to that equipment.
Always use charging equipment compatible with Lithium Iron Phosphate battery chemistry.

Introduction
The Lithionics GTX12V630A-E2112-CS200 Xantrex 3000
kit is based on a GTX12V630A-E2112- CS200 battery
(630 amp hours) and a XC Pro 3000-watt inverter (a 2000-
watt inverter/charger may be substituted without any
change in wiring). This combination is capable of providing
enough power to run most AC loads for extended periods
of time. The inverter features true sine wave grid quality
power and is capable of handling high surge loads.

The main diagram depicts the general layout of the system. The 2/0 AWG battery positive cable is connected to the main positive distribution bus via a 300A
post-mounted fuse and an isolation switch.
The inverter is connected to the positive distribution bus via a 250A class T fuse and an isolation switch. The class T fuse block should be mounted as close
as possible to the positive distribution bus. The inverter switch is required for inverter isolation and inrush management when first turning on the system. The
chassis DC grounding cable (green) should be sized not less than one size smaller than the DC positive conductor and have a capacity such that the DC
positive fuse has an amperage rating not greater than 135% of the current rating of this ground wire.
If the positive cable supplying the inverter shorts to ground internally, then the chassis ground cable needs to be able to carry enough current to blow the
inverter fuse without melting and possibly causing a fire
The Lithionics IonGage monitors battery voltage, current, power, amp-hours consumed and state of charge.
The Victron Smart MPPT charger is connected to the positive distribution bus via a 40A Maxi fuse. The PV solar array is connected to the MPPT charger
via a circuit breaker. The specified circuit breaker is only rated at 48VDC; if your PV solar array has an open circuit voltage that is higher, then another circuit
breaker with a higher voltage rating must be substituted.
The Sterling Battery to Battery charger is connected to the positive distribution bus via a 50A Maxi fuse (80A for the Sterling BB1260 charger). It also has
a fuse at the starter battery; this fuse must be installed as close to the battery as possible.
Wiring note:
A total DC power circuit resistance between a single Lithionics battery and a 3000W inverter can be as low as 5 mOhm (0.005 Ohm), when using short wires
to connect the battery to the inverter. With a typical battery voltage of 13.5V, this can result in an inrush peak current of 2,700 Amps (!!!) from the battery to
the inverter capacitors. This surge only lasts around 1 millisecond but could be enough to damage the Battery Management System (BMS) or even damage
the inverter. The minimum required wire size and length stated in the wiring diagram are provided to ensure minimum circuit resistance of at least 5.6 mOhm
to reduce the inrush under 2,400A. For more information refer to Lithionics Support page, FAQ Section at this link https://lithionicsbattery.com/support/

The inverter diagram depicts a typical AC installation. The main panel has an output breaker for the non-inverter loads. It is
used to power the high power loads that are beyond the inverters capacity such as a water heater or an electric stove. The
inverter AC input must be protected by a circuit breaker rated at 50A or less, and the cable cross section must be sized
accordingly (10AWG for 30A, 6AWG for 50A). Make all connections using proper crimp-on connectors (do not use twist on
connectors).
A Residual Current Device (RCD) type circuit breaker rated to support the expected load must be included in series with the
output, and cable cross-section must be sized accordingly. This breaker should be as close to the inverter as possible. If this
breaker is not of the RCD type, GFCI receptacles must be used at all AC outlets.
The inverter is provided with a ground relay that automatically connects the neutral output to the chassis if no external AC
supply is available. In an RV installation, the inverter chassis must be connected to the vehicle chassis ground (via the
negative distribution bus). The chassis grounding conductor must be not less than one size smaller than the DC positive
conductor and have a capacity such that the DC positive fuse has an amperage rating not greater than 135% of the current
rating of this grounding wire.
When using an inverter sub panel, the inverter neutral cables must return to the inverter sub panel and not the main
AC panel.
A warning label should be installed at the main AC panel to indicate that there is an inverter in the system.

The Sterling Battery to Battery charger charges the house battery via the vehicle’s alternator. This system uses either the Sterling
BB1230 charger (Mercedes recommendation), or the BB1260 charger depending on the size of the alternator. The charger should
be programmed to charge the battery using a Lithium battery profile. The charger can also be configured to work with vehicles using
regenerative braking.
