1. Safety
The Force-H2-V2 is a high voltage DC system, operated by skilled/qualified personnel
only. Read all safety instructions carefully prior to any work and observe them at all times
when working on with the system.
Incorrect operation or work may cause:
injury or death to the operator or a third party;
damage to the system hardware and other properties belonging to the operator or a
third party.
Skills of Qualified Personnel
Qualified personnel must have the following skills:
training in the installation and commissioning of the electrical system, as well as the
dealing with hazards;
knowledge of this manual and other related documents;
knowledge of the local regulations and directives.

1.1 Symbol
Danger
Lethal voltage!
Battery strings will produce HIGH DC power and
can cause a lethal voltage and an electric shock.
Only qualified person can perform the wiring of the
battery strings.
Warning
Risk of battery system damage or personal injury
DO not pull out the connectors while the system is
working!
De-energize from all multiple power sources and
verify that there is no voltage.
Caution
Risk of battery system failure or life cycle reduces.

Danger: Batteries deliver electric power, resulting in burns or a fire hazard when they
are short circuited, or wrongly installed.
Danger: Lethal voltages are present in the battery terminals and cables. Severe
injuries or death may occur if touch the cables and terminals.
Warning: DO NOT open or deform the battery module, otherwise the product will be
out of warranty scope
Warning: Whenever working on the battery, wear suitable personal protective
equipment (PPE) such as rubber gloves, rubber boots and goggles.
Warning:Force-H2-V2 system working temperature range: 0 ℃～50 ℃; Optimum
temperature: 18℃～28℃. Out of the working temperature range may cause
the battery system over / low temperature alarm or protection which further
lead to the cycle life reduction as well as. It will affect the warranty terms as
well.
Warning: For battery installation, the installer shall refer to NFPA70 or similar local
installation standard for operation.
Caution: Improper settings or maintenance can permanently damage the battery.
Caution: Incorrect inverter parameters will lead to a further faulty/damage to battery.
Reminding
1) It is very important and necessary to read the user manual carefully (in the
accessories) before installing or using battery. Failure to do so or to follow any of the
instructions or warnings in this document can result in electrical shock, serious injury,
or death, or can damage battery, potentially rendering it inoperable.
2) If the battery is stored for long time, it is required to charge them every six months,
and the SOC should be no less than 90%;

or lack of parts, please contact with the local retailer;
2) Before installation, be sure to cut off the grid power and make sure the battery is
in the switched-off mode;
3) Wiring must be correct, do not mistake the positive and negative cables, and
ensure no short circuit with the external device;
4) It is prohibited to connect the battery and AC power directly;
5) Battery system must be well ground and the resistance must be less than 100mΩ;
6) Please ensured the electrical parameters of battery system are compatible to
related equipment;
7) Keep the battery away from water and fire.
1.3 In Using
1) If the battery system needs to be moved or repaired, the power must be cut off and
the battery is completely shut down;
2) It is prohibited to connect the battery with different type of battery.
3) It is prohibited to put the batteries working with faulty or incompatible inverter;
4) It is prohibited to disassemble the battery (QC tab removed or damaged);
5) In case of fire, only dry powder fire extinguisher can be used, liquid fire
extinguishers are prohibited;

2. System Introduce
2.1 Product Introduce
Force-H2-V2 is a high voltage battery storage system based on lithium iron phosphate
battery, which is one of the new energy storage products developed and produced by
Pylontech. It can be used to support reliable power for various types of equipment and
systems. Force-H2-V2 enabled multiple strings` parallel operation feature, which
provides tremendous flexibility in system design and configuration. Force-H2-V2 is
especially suitable for those application scenes which required high power output,
limited installation space, restricted load-bearing and long cycle life.

Power Switch
ON: main breaker ON, able to turn on battery system by start button.
OFF: system turn off completely, no power output.
Caution: When the breaker is tripped off because of over current or short circuit,
must wait more than 30min then can turn on it again, otherwise may cause the
breaker damage.
Start
Start function: press more than 5sec until
the buzzer rings, to turn on controller.
Multi-groups start up sequence: please start up the last string (from communication
structure, the last slave) of battery system first, one by one to the first string which
shall be start up lastly. Details as below table
