 Introduction
Thank you for choosing Sony’s energy storage module/controller.
The energy storage module comprises of lithium ion rechargeable batteries with 1.2 kWh capacity, and the controller enables a
central of multiple modules.

This manual provides information regarding safety precautions to prevent possible accidents and how to use the product.
Please read this manual carefully before use for safety and keep this manual handy for reference.

Main Features

Long life span

The battery can be expected to remain serviceable for more than 10 years, provided it is charged and discharged once in a day
at room temperature (23 deg. C).

Higher Safety
Olivine-type lithium iron phosphate batteries with excellent thermal stability and storage characteristics are used in this product.
The module also incorporates a self-monitoring function, for detection of any abnormalities in energy storage. The monitored
status can be communicated to an external controller to safely control the usage state of the battery.

Quick Charge
More than 90% of the capacity can be charged in one hour.

High Scalability
Multiple energy storage modules can be connected to the controller, and voltage and capacity can be customized according to
the intended use.

ˎˎCharge the module by setting a charging voltage of 57.6 ±0.8V and a charging current of lower than 24 A with constant current and
constant voltage. (Note that the maximum current is limited by the maximum current of the controller.)
ˎˎDischarge a module at lower than 50A. (Note that the maximum current is limited by the maximum current of the controller.)
ˎˎThe controller stops discharging when it reaches the minimum voltage.
ˎˎCharging current may be shut down by the controller when charging is almost finished.

 Replacing Energy Storage Modules
Please read ”Installation Procedure” on page 15 and
“”Connection Method” page 16 before you replace modules,
and be sure to confirm the power connector on the rear side
of the module is unplugged, and the controller’s POWER ON/
OFF switch is OFF.

Note
ˎˎBefore connecting the set, all the modules’ RSOC and V (voltage)
settings should all be set to within 3% and 0.5 V (respectively) of
each other.
