Fully power off all batteries (or single battery).
- If multiple batteries are used: Connect all batteries with the proper communication cables. The following cables are shown below:
  - Cable 2: Is primarily used to connect multiple batteries together. You will need a max of two terminating resistors and X - number of "Cable 2"s where "X" is one less than the total number of ADV-Lithium batteries used.
    - For Ex: Setting up eight batteries you would need two terminating resistors, and "8-1" = 7 "Cable 2"s.
  - Cable 1: Is commonly not used for setup, it is for RV-C Integrators to utilize the batteries within their RV-C system. This can be ignored.
- Users using only one battery: You don't need Cables 1,2 or the Terminating Resistor. Please keep the provided connector caps that are originally on the Battery(s) themselves. Continue to Step 3.
Open the GoPower Connect! App
Enter the "add device" screen for the GP-ADV-Lithium battery by pressing the "+" icon on the top right.
Power up all the batteries by pressing the power button on one of the connected batteries.
- For Multiple Batteries: Press and hold ONE of the power buttons, it will automatically power all of them, release once all LEDs on each battery is lit.
- Single Battery: Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds
1. Click and pair the first/or most-top ADV-Lithium battery shown on the "Available Devices" list.
  1. A pop up should occur to authenticate the bluetooth pairing, please press the power button on the battery that is blinking the fastest.
  2. After pressing the power button, another pop up will occur to name your personal Battery, please enter a name then continue to the next step.
  - If no batteries are shown, hit the scan button located at the bottom left.
    - Non-configured/Secondary batteries have a 60 second window of being shown on the app
    - If no batteries are shown after roughly 2 minutes, please fully power off all batteries, and hit scan once you've turned the batteries back on.
      - Please wait 10 seconds after powering them fully off then proceed to turn them back on.
The following screen will appear, please click the appropriate button that fits your user needs
- Option A: If you're setting up batteries all in parallel or series, choose the first button
- Option B: If you have a combination of both series and parallel choose the bottom left button.
- Option C: If you have only one battery choose the bottom right button
- Please move over the the next appropriate step that matches your chosen option.
Option A: Simple Setup, Setting up multiple batteries in all parallel or series will load into the following screen:
1. First, confirm the number of available batteries are detected, if so move to step 2.
2. Second, select if your setup is in parallel or in series.
3. Third, select start to begin the auto configuration process.
4. Proceed to the final step 10 after setup is shown as complete.
Option B: Advance Setup, The following screen will appear. Please understand each operation of the buttons on the screen prior to configuration.
- !!Please contact Tech support if any issues or questions arise!!
1. Press Indicate to target the selected battery to begin visibly "Blinking" fast, this is useful to confirm which physical battery you're setting up.
2. Press Setup for each individual battery to configure it.
  1. NOTE: Every battery MUST go through the "Battery Setup" screen and be configured properly, failure to do so will cause the batteries to not communicate properly.
    1. Please follow the conditions for the Battery Setup:
      - All Batteries must have a unique Battery Instance, regardless in parallel or series (Example: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
      - Batteries in series must have the same series string value. (Example: 1,1,1,1 = 4 batteries are in series)
      - Batteries wired in parallel must be unique series string value from each other. (Example: 1,2,3,4 = 4 batteries are in parallel)
      - There must be only one master per DC source. All other batteries on the DC source must be in secondary.
        
        Recommendation is to set "Battery Instance 1" to "Master" and all other connected batteries to "Secondary" to avoid error.
3. Press Change DC Instance to change all the batteries to match the DC Battery Bank
  - Set to 1 if unsure
4. Press the Load System once each battery is configured using the "SETUP" button.
5. Proceed to the final step 10.
Option C: Single Battery Setup
- The following screen will appear, each status will change based on the progress of the app setting up the singular battery.
- Once the setup is complete, select "Continue" and proceed to the final step 10.
Go to the "Device Selection" screen and select your newly configured ADV-Lithium battery bank!
- Monitor the battery voltage, DC current, power, Ah remaining, time remaining, charge state and battery temperature.
- Monitor the charge cycles, highest & lowest battery voltage, protection disconnects & limit statuses
- Turn on or off the internal battery heater
- Remote disconnect the Battery's discharge or charge bus from any loads or sources.
