Verify connections, assure that they are clean. If the battery is dirty, or if any minor amount of acid has spilled onto the case, check cleaning section of this manual. Any fluid on or around the battery could indicate damage or improperly sealed case. - Page 5 M8 (TP08) 9.6-10.7 Parallel/SerieS COnneCtiOnS: Certain applications demand more voltage or more capacity than one battery’s output. By arranging the connection configuration, one is able to increase the output voltage, output capacity or both if needed. To increase voltage, connect the batteries in series as shown in Figure 1.
- Page 6 Figure 2 Capacity Increase Battery Voltage = 6V each Battery Capacity = 400 AH each System Voltage = 6V System Capacity = 800 AH To increase capacity and voltage, connect the batteries in series parallel as shown in Figure 3.

Page 7: Rolls Agm Battery Charging Instructions
RoLLS AgM BATTERY CHARgiNg iNSTRUCTioNS To maximize the life of your Rolls battery, it is important that it is properly charged. Over and under-charging a Rolls battery will result in shortened service life. The best protection from improper charging is the use of a quality charger and routinely checking that the charger current and voltage settings are maintained. - Page 8 The charger can maintain the current B indefinitely or until the charger is shut off or unplugged. This stage is ideal to maintain battery state of charge. Make sure the temperature compensation is programmed as specified in Figure 1 (-4mV/°C/cell or -2mV/°F/cell) or manually adjust the voltage setting for temperatures varying from...

(5% of the 8 or 20 hour rate). The rate may be increased if the battery does not begin to gas. Do not let the cell temperature exceed 115° F (46° C). If the temperature becomes excessive or the cells begin to gas vigorously, reduce the rate of charge. -

3. Check for correct polarity. Attaching the positive and negative voltmeter lead to the positive and negative battery terminal should give a positive voltage reading. If it is negative, a reverse polarity condition exists and you should contact your dealer or Rolls Battery Technical Support. -

2. Set the charging controls to the recommended equalization settings according to voltage. 3. Charge at a low DC current (5 A per 100 AH of battery capacity). If grid power is not available, use solar panels or a good DC source when possible. At high voltages, charging with generator can be difficult and hard on the inverter. -
Page 16: Storage Procedure
Regardless of the size of the battery bank, the probe should be installed on the side of one battery, below the liquid level on a battery placed in the center of the bank. The main factor to look for is maximum temperature. The battery bank should not exceed an operating temperature of 50ºC. -
Page 17: Spillage Procedure
Batteries must NEVER be disposed in household waste. To reduce environmental impacts, bring your battery to a certified recycling depot at the end of its life. Note: Lead-acid batteries are 97-98% recyclable. Rolls Batteries have >66% recycled lead. -
