4. Features
The Lithium Series 48V 5.1 kWh Slim battery has the following features:
• Designed for use in photovoltaic applications.
• Battery Management System (BMS): The BMS system built into the battery that
monitors its operation and does not allow it to work outside the bounds of the design
regime (V, I).
• Expandability: The system’s accumulation capacity can be expanded by incorporating
more batteries.

5.3. ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTION
Batteries may be connected in parallel up to a maximum of 15. All batteries must be
grounded. It is suggested to connect the installation ground to the rack at the same point
as all battery lands.
Connection between batteries:
• Up to 15 batteries are allowed to be used in parallel.
• The batteries used in parallel must be the same batch of cases with the same SOC.
• The Voltage difference of batteries used in parallel must be within 0,5V.
• The dimensions of parallel cable must be the same.
• The batteries must be connected two by two with the same cable to the bus,
following next scheme.

www.turbo-e.com
Connection between battery and inverter:
Inverter connection Battery connection
25 mm2 power cable section
NOTE: Each power cord can carry a maximum of 120 A, so every two batteries
would need to connect a new cable to the inverter. However, if the inverter is 5
kW only with one cable it would be enough to be at the limit of the maximum
current recommended.
Warning when doing a battery expansion:
It is very important that in the case of connecting batteries in parallel that
are not new (for example, we add a new battery to an existing system), we
previously perform a voltage balancing (without load) between them to avoid
overcurrents that could damage the system. As an alternative to balancing
voltages, balancing can be done by equalizing the SOC of the batteries. In
addition, when connecting new batteries, we must take into account that the
number of batteries at the time of connection must be similar to the number of
batteries that are already connected in the system. For example, if we have five
batteries installed and we want to connect a new one, we must first connect
the new battery with two of the five that were already in place to balance them,
and then connect these three with the other three remaining batteries in the
system. Batteries should always be connected in groups of similar numbers so
that a large group cannot damage a smaller group of batteries at the time of
connection.
5.3.1. CONFIGURATION WITHOUT COMMUNICATIONS
For those cases where the battery is intended to operate connected to an inverter without
communications, it’s not necessary to select a specific configuration of the DIP switches
and the batteries do not need to be connected each other with the communication cable.

www.turbo-e.com
5.3.2. CONFIGURATION WITH COMMUNICATIONS
Communication cable:
It will be configured one way or another depending on the inverter used.
Cable configuration Hybrid Inverter Turbo Energy™/Goodwe/ Solis /Growatt
• It can be used a Straight-through cable
• Connect the cable to the CAN-2 port
• Growatt inverter is connected to the
RS485-3 port
Cable configuration Victron
Connect the cable to the CAN-2 port
Cable configuration Sofar
Connect the cable to the CAN-1 port
Cable configuration Voltronic
Connect the cable to the RS485-2 port

DIP switch
Each module has 4 DIP switches (Dual Inline Package) that will be configured differently
according to the number of batteries will be connected.

5.4. ON AND OFF
To turn on, press the power button for 2 seconds. The BMS will start and the LCD screen
light up.
To turn off the batteries, press the power button for more than 3-6 seconds.
Sleep Function
When RS485/CAN communication interruption, no charge and discharge, no button
operation, 5 minutes later, the system will go into sleep mode to reduce self-consumption.
In this mode, the battery power connectors still have normal battery voltage.
When the battery is in the sleep mode and meets any of following conditions, the system
will quit sleep mode and wake up.
1. Charge or discharge current is detected.
2. Press the “ONOFF” button for 1 second.
3. Access communication cable (RS485/CAN).
Power down function
When any of the following conditions are satisfied, the system will go into power down
mode to reduce self-consumption and protect the cells:
1. Press the “ONOFF” button for 3~6 seconds and release it;
2. The lowest cell voltage is lower than the power down voltage, and the duration
reaches the power down delay time (while no charging current).
In this mode, the battery power connectors don’t have voltage.

www.turbo-e.com
When the battery is in the power down mode and meets any of following conditions, the
battery will quit power down mode and wake up.
• Charging current is detected (charging voltage should be higher than 51.2V);
• Press the “ONOFF” button for 2 seconds and release it.
5.5. LED DISPLAY
The LED light on the front of the battery will indicate the State Of Charge (SOC) as shown
in the following table:
SOC LED Charge status
SOC < 5%
5% ≤ SOC ≤ 25%
25% ≤ SOC ≤ 55%
50% ≤ SOC ≤ 75%
75% ≤ SOC ≤ 95%
SOC ≥ 95%
