INSTALLATION GUIDE

EON Lithium batteries are fully compatible with Synapse inverters that have Modbus (RS485) communication capability. The setup guide will assist the installer with the correct configuration and setup of the inverter and battery. 

The Synapse Inverter that has Modbus communication capabilities is: 

  • Synapse 5.0K+ 

Note: these settings only apply to one battery. For multiple batteries, please follow the instructions in the manual as well as the best practices for paralleling batteries.

Power cables 

  • Check the rating of the inverter and the battery pack that will be working together. Make sure that the correct gauge cable is used and the correct fuse protection. 

  • If the power rating of the battery is lower than the inverter, then make sure the maximum discharge current is set to conform to the battery power rating. 

Example: 

  • Inverter = 8kW (Max power is 8kW or 160A DC) 

  • Battery = 5kWh (Max power is 5kW or 100A DC) 

  • Set the maximum discharge current to 100A in the battery settings. 

  • For batteries connected in parallel, please see the best practices guide.
