Physical Installation
Connect the Galooli Gateway to the first battery, and then connect the batteries to each other if necessary. A termination connector must be installed on the last battery in the chain.
It is recommended, whenever possible, to connect the smart batteries to RS485 Port 2, separately from other RS485-connected devices and sensors such as fuel sensors, power meters, etc. This approach enhances surge protection for the batteries and isolates them from potential surges affecting the other RS485-connected devices.
The Module ID is automatically assigned by the master module in sequential order from 1 to N, based on the configured device count.
Polarium batteries support up to 14 batteries connected to a single Battery Management System (BMS) as the master battery. Galooli's solution is compatible with this configuration, supporting the connection of 14 batteries via a single Galooli gateway.
Device Configuration
Download the following file - . Extract all the files
Run the software by clicking the “Studio” file.
In the Device field select SLB48 > In the Interface field, select the relevant communication port. > In the Baud rate field, select Auto > In the Device count field, enter the number of connected devices > Click Open to start the connection.

Firmware Version Update
Polarium batteries can be updated using a specific mechanism built as a service. As a result, we are able to remotely connect to Polarium batteries and update them with the latest version.
Please contact the Galooli support team for more information.

|---|---|
Polarium battery connection state is "No Connection", even though the battery is connected.
| Verify that the baud rate of the Polarium is the same as the baud rate of all devices and the Elara gateway.
