Pre-connection checklist for a plug-in battery

Preparation: is your home ready for a plug-in battery?

Before plugging in a battery, it is wise to walk through a short safety and suitability checklist.

1. Check the outlet and circuit

• Always use a grounded outlet on a modern circuit.
• Make sure there are no other heavy loads on the same circuit.

2. Decide where to place the battery

• Place it on a flat, dry surface.
• Leave enough space around the unit for ventilation.
• Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

3. Network and integration readiness

• Verify that your chosen location has decent Wi-Fi coverage.
• Have your Wi-Fi details or Ethernet port ready if you plan a wired connection.
