SYSTEM DESIGN BY EXPERT TECHNICIANS
Systems Design is the process of defining the architecture, components, modules, interfaces, and load data for a system to meet
specified requirements.
For a solar system these components are the photovoltaic modules, the inverter / charge controller and the batteries as well as the
different interfaces of these components.
These systems must be integrated with each other in accordance with their respective technical rules and must be compatible with
each other.
The design must take into account the functional guarantees and performance guarantees in order to guarantee the end customer
full satisfaction of the product he will use.
Battery Operation
There are several factors that affect the operation of the battery that could impact its ability to deliver capacity and
life expectancy.
STORAGE
Each module is suitably packed in original DG9 cardboard box to be stored inside in a clean, level, dry and cool place.
The recommended storage temperature is 25°C.
The battery can be stored in the range of -20 ° C + 45 ° C, but inspection and charging is required every three months (the maximum
charging current is 0.1 C at a temperature not lower than 15 °C).
The maximum SoC during storage is 30% as mandated by the IMDG code / United Nations and in any case must not exceed the
regulations in force in the country.
For specific rules and transportation might be required to be lower than 30% in accordance with the special ADR / DG9 Rules.
*Inspection parameters identify the State of Charge (SOC), look for any alarms and address, accordingly, look for physical damage
to the Battery Module. **Charge at 0.1C and not more than 50% SOC and discharge back to the allowed value. If shipped by sea, you
must refer to the UN38.3 standard, if by road, refer to the local codes.
Operating Temperature and Thresholds
Many chemical reactions are affected by temperature and this is also true for the reaction that occurs in a WeCo storage battery.
The chemical reaction of a lithium ion is slowed down by the lowering of the temperature of the electrolyte contained in the battery,
which results in a lower capacity and a higher rate of long-term performance decay in direct proportion to the departure from the
optimal temperature prescribed by WeCo.
A new battery providing 100% of the nominal capacity at 25°C (77°F) will provide only about 75% of the nominal capacity at 10°C.
At temperatures below -7°C (+19.4°F) the BMS will only allow 0.05C of charge Current only for emergency circumstances; at
temperatures below -10°C(14°F) charging is prohibited as the cells might be damaged.
These thresholds allowed by the BMS do not mean that the battery warranty also applies under such conditions, although permitted
by the BMS.
The logic of the BMS does not coincide with the prescribes standard recommended usage and thresholds must be set from those
customers who intend to benefitting from the performance guarantees, following the performance warranty prescriptions as per STC
( Standard test Conditions).
The respect or not of the STC thresholds to benefit from the performance guarantees is up to the end customer, while the limitations
inherent in the battery safety thresholds are set by the BMS as factory data.
The warranty conditions (Functional and Performance) are well described in the document ''Limited Warranty'' and must be read
before purchasing the product.
For example, the functional guarantee (pursuant to European legislation) prescribes that the installation of batteries with IP 20 must
be indoors, ie indoors, with humidity and controlled temperature, while the performance guarantee prescribes the charge and
discharge must be carried out between 20 ° C ( 68°F) and 25 ° C (77°F) at 0.5C; any use outside of these requirements are not
covered by the performance guarantee.
Most battery capacity/life issues can be traced to improper charging. Improper charging settings may lead to an overcharging or
undercharging condition, any wrong charging process will affect the life of the battery or its ability to retain energy.
The lower the C-Rate of the charging/discharging process the more the battery will benefit from long term performance.
Depth of Discharge (DoD)
The depth of discharge is a function that is implemented through the setting of the hybrid inverter, compatible with WeCo.
The deeper the discharge, (e.g. DoD 100% means completely draining the battery), the shorter the battery life over its estimated
lifetime.
A cycle is a discharge and its subsequent recharge regardless of the depth of discharge.
The number of cycles and the specific DoD will affect the expected life in years that the battery/battery system will provide before
replacement.
To maximize the remaining capacity over the useful life of the battery, it is recommended to set the DoD of the inverter to the value
of 20% or, this will help the maintenance of health (SoH) for longer period of time.
The capacity of the battery is not constant at every cycle and may vary based on many factors, the energy degradation is not constant
over the time or cycles and is heavily affected by the temperature, C-Rate and DoD (depth of Discharge).
Typically the decrease in capacity every 500 cycles conducted as per the STC is set to be in the range -2~3% however the First 500
cycles are typically affected by higher decrease in capacity compared to the following cycles. After 7000 cycles the residual capacity
shall be 70% (if the battery is correctly used within the recommended values an maintained over years.
Before buying this product read the warranty terms available on our website.
WECO 5K3 LV/HV

The functional guarantee indicates the maximum DoD up to 100% because both the logic and the battery hardware have been
verified and tested to be achieved (each inverter protocol might have different requirements and the 100% DoD could not be
achieved as per the agreement between the inverter manufacturer and WeCo).
Performance guarantee sets the maximum value of DoD % (to be set in the inverter) must not exceed the value of 90% at 25°C 0.5C
without prejudice to the previous requirements.
C-Rate
Value of the Current used to charge and discharge the battery is expressed in C (1C = 100A, 0,1C= 10A in case of the 5K3 100Ah
battery).
Charge/Discharge
Most capacity/battery life issues can be traced back to improper charging also due to improper installation. Improper charging
settings can lead to an overload condition or excessive discharge or current out of range for temperature condition and SOC%.
WeCo guarantees only batteries connected via BMS CAN line to the compatible inverter (see compatibility list on
www.wecobatteries.com website) and used according to the warranty requirements published on the site.
CAN/BMS communication is essential both for reasons of active and passive safety and to be able to conduct all active control
interactions with the inverter. The BMS has dynamic algorithms that vary according to current or previous conditions stored during
the discharge or stand By charging phases.
Modern inverters / charge controllers are equipped with CAN / BMS interface and no special settings are required to charge and
discharge the battery, except for the setting of the charge / discharge power and the DoD% (if the customer wants to comply with the
STC requirements he must read and comply with the warranty conditions defined STC and set them on the inverter).
The maintenance at optimal temperature instead must be guaranteed by the technical room and air conditioning equipment installed
in it, the inverter is not able to interact with the settings in reference to the temperature of the environment in which it is installed,
also because inverter and battery could be in different environments exposed to different environmental factors.
Guarantee (Functional Guarantee against manufacturing defects ) and Performance Guarantee
Although the BMS of the battery allows a wide range of use in terms of both temperature and charging currents, this should not be
interpreted as an implicit authorization to use the battery at these levels with reference to the performance guarantee.
For the purposes of the performance guarantee, it is mandatory that the battery is used within the range of temperature and
current, charge/discharge current and depth of discharge indicated in the warranty and also reported in these paragraphs.
Any other use, even if permitted by BMS thresholds, is not covered by a performance guarantee.
Firmware Updates
In case of firmware updates to the BMS as a result of improvements, corrections or for other reasons, this manual and warranties
may be updated accordingly. Check the critical firmware release notes on www.wecobatteries.com and/or with your distributors or
installer. Critical release firmware must be installed as per warranty requirements: To get support if your system is not equipped with

accordingly.
Each box comes from the factory with the below labels:
This battery can only be transported and stored with the original approved carton box, Certified
as per UN CLASS 9 Y80.
This Battery must be stored in its original carton box in a dry and cool place. WECO MODULE
carton box is marked as below:
The transportation and Storage State of Charge (SoC) shall not exceed 50%.
The shelf period without recharging is 3 months, and then requires a quick charge up to 70%
DoD and discharge back to 50% at 0.5C / 77°F (25°C).
To preserve the performance and shelf life, this battery should optimally be stored at 77°F
(25°F) and @70% humidity.
Acceptable storage temperature range of the battery is between +59°F and +95°F (+15°C and
+35°C).
The self-discharge in the range of +59°F to +119°F (+15°C to +35°C) is around 1% a month.
Anything outside this range could exceed 10% a month.
Do not store the batteries near sources of heat, vapor, gas, fuels, sparks or anything that could
generate fire or explosion.
Store inside and protect from water and moisture.
Transportation of new and used or damaged modules must be in accordance with the UN 38.3
Regulation and with the Federal, State and Local regulations.
If one or more working Battery Modules need to be removed or relocated, they must be

The installer approaching this battery model for the first time must understand the use and
operation of its accessories.
The 5K3 LV/HV battery module can be equipped with auxiliary devices such as the WE HUB or
SUPERHUB for configuration for Low Voltage Clusters, or it must necessarily be equipped with the
HVBOX device in order to create a high voltage system.
Each device or accessory of the 5K3 LV/HV will have a specific Firmware that manages the logic and
interconnection functions between Battery Modules and devices.
It is therefore important to understand the operational and interaction concepts of the 5K3 LV/HV battery
within a more complex system.
