PylonTech UP5000 connection to Mecer SOL-I-AX-5M4 best practices

Featured Replies

Hey Guys/Gals

I'm very chuffed because my new PylonTech UP5000 Li-Ion battery has arrived which will replace my 4 x 12V 200AH AGM batteries. 🙂 My existing batteries are now game over thanks to continuous load shedding. 

I haven't connected a Li-Ion battery before and I'm diligently reading my inverter manual and well as the battery manual.

I chose the PylonTech because my Mecer Inverter has a "PylonTech" battery type so I figured they would be compatible 'out the box', and it says it takes care of most of the settings. I also know that the BMS connection is important. Other than that hookup seems as straight forward as the old batteries.

At this point my only questions is earthing the Li-Ion unit with the cable provided and I imagine I can just tie that to any earth.

If anyone has any advice / best practices or "gotchas" to watch out for please share 🙂

Thanks so much!
