2. Connect the negative terminal of the last battery string to the negative
terminal of inverter’s DC terminal.

Important:
Connecting the positive and negative wires to the inverter from different
strings ensures a balanced charge/discharge through the batteries, resulting in longer run
times and improved battery life.
