​

(Black Cable) – RJ12 to RJ12 (450mm) cable.

RJ45 PIN LAYOUTS

The Growatt Inverter will connect to the Battery via:

​

Inverter (CAN Port) to Battery (CAN Port)

​

Straight RJ45 to RJ45 wire - 1500mm.

​

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do you set up multiple batteries?

See table above and check your product manual for a more detailed explanation. You will have to set dip switch settings per battery to give them a unique address. You also must connect the included RJ45 battery link cables into the "Battery Link" port of each battery. Ensure your master battery dip switch 1 is on, 2,3,4 is OFF.  Only the master battery CAN Bus will be enabled. You can then connect the Hubble Cloudlink into the CAN port of the master battery for communications to work.

Do I have to use the communication battery link cables if I don’t want to monitor or have communications?

Yes, it is recommended to still connect the slave cables for inter BMS communications.
