BlueNova Batteries provide valuable information regarding serial communication and parallel connection of their batteries. Here's an overview of these two important aspects:

Serial Communication:

• BlueNova HC batteries are equipped with serial communication functionality using the CAN protocol.
• Connecting a BlueNova HC battery to a compatible inverter, charger, or other third-party hardware device eliminates the need for manual voltage-based installation procedures.
• The installation procedure for serial integration may vary and depends on the specific serial-compatible peripheral hardware being integrated.
• In essence, serial communication simplifies the integration process and allows for more efficient and automated operation with compatible hardware.

Parallel Connection with MultiCap Technology:

• BlueNova batteries with 123Smart firmware version 5.4 and higher, as well as BMMC firmware version 2.5 and higher, incorporate MultiCap technology.
• MultiCap technology enables BlueNova batteries to be connected in parallel to increase overall capacity, even if there are age differences and rated capacity differences between the batteries.
• However, there are specific requirements that must be met for a successful parallel connection: a. The nominal voltage of all parallel-connected batteries must be the same (e.g., 52V). b. The installed capacity @C2 of the largest battery in the parallel configuration should not exceed 4 times the installed capacity @C2 of the smallest battery in the same configuration. c. The correct firmware versions must be installed on all batteries in the configuration, and they should be updated as necessary. d. Each battery should be operating within its warranty period for this parallel configuration to be valid.

By following these guidelines, users can effectively and safely integrate BlueNova batteries in parallel to increase their overall capacity, while also benefiting from the convenience of serial communication for various applications

Maintaining BlueNova Batteries is essential for ensuring their longevity, safety, and optimal performance. Here are the maintenance guidelines provided by BlueNova:

General Maintenance Guidelines:

1. Do Not Short Circuit: Avoid short-circuiting the battery terminals, as this can lead to safety hazards and damage the battery.
2. Use Approved BMS: Only use the battery with a BlueNova approved integrated Battery Management System (BMS) solution. The BMS helps monitor and control the battery's operation, ensuring safety and performance.
3. Do Not Alter Physically: Do not disassemble, pierce, cut, or make any physical alterations to any part of the battery, as this can damage the battery and pose safety risks.
4. Avoid Extreme Heat: Keep the battery away from extreme heat sources and do not expose it to conditions that may lead to overheating, burning, or incineration.

Storage Instructions:

1. Switch Off Battery: Ensure that the battery is switched off when it is in storage to prevent unintended operation or discharge.
2. Disconnect Communication Cable: Disconnect the communication cable if one is connected to the battery.
3. Cool and Well-Ventilated Storage: Store the batteries in a cool and well-ventilated area, ideally at around 25C 3C. Proper storage temperature helps maintain battery health.
4. Moisture and Heat: Store batteries away from moisture and sources of excessive heat, which can negatively impact their performance and safety.
5. Avoid Upside-Down Storage: Do not store batteries upside down for extended periods.
6. Regular Voltage Checks: Periodically check the open circuit voltage of stored batteries, ideally at least once per month. Recharge batteries as needed to prevent the open circuit voltage from falling below 40V.
7. Maintain State of Charge (SOC): Ensure that the stored battery's state of charge (SOC) is always above 50%, with 100% SOC being optimal. This helps maintain the battery's health and readiness for use.

Following these maintenance guidelines will help ensure the safe and reliable operation of BlueNova Batteries and e...
