The external battery cabinet, shown in Figure 2.11 on the facing page, is divided into 9rows: the upper
7rows are used for the intelligent battery modules, and the lower 2 rows are used for overcurrent
protection for each battery cabinet. For normal operation, 2battery modules must be inserted in the same
row of the frame to create a complete string. The battery module strings work in parallel to provide longer
