Danger: Batteries deliver electric power, resulting in burns or a fire hazard when they are
short circuited, or wrongly installed.
Caution: Incorrect inverter parameters will lead to the premature aging of battery.
Caution: Improper settings or maintenance can permanently damage the battery.
Warning: PowerCube-H1/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: Whenever working on the battery, wear suitable personal protective equipment
(PPE) such as rubber gloves, rubber boots and goggles.
Warning: Do not open or deform the battery module and control module;
Danger: Lethal voltages are present in the battery terminals and cables. Severe injuries or
death may occur if the cables and terminals are touched.
Caution: Additional two-pole DC circuit breakers or isolation switches must be installed
between the battery system and the inverter.

Console Communication Terminal: (RJ45 port) follow Modbus TCP protocol, only used for communication
between the master control module and upper controller.
RS485(Link Port A and B)
RS485 Communication Terminal: (RJ45 RS485 Link port A) follow Modbus RTU protocol, for external
communication between battery system and Power Conversion System.
In a multi-strings structure, these two ports （RJ45 RS485 Link port A & B）are used to connect the two
control modules of the front and rear nodes.
ADD
ADD Switch is a 6 bit dial switches to manually distribute the communication address of
the battery system. Downward position is OFF, means “0”. Upward position is ON,
means “1”. For battery controller, 1st bit to 5th bit is for address allocation, and the 6th
bit dial switch support a 120Ωresistance (Terminal Resistance), the upward
position(ON) of the 6th bit means access the resistance, and the downward
position(OFF) means no access resistance. The terminal resistance needs to be activat-
ed ON at the first and last node.
