LYNK Network Communication
Discover batteries use CAN communication over the LYNK Network to coordinate performance with other batteries and communicate with accessories such as the LYNK II Communication Gateway.
LYNK Network Power
A Discover battery provides the LYNK network power through the LYNK port (COM3/COM4 on the HELIOS ESS). Discover documentation specifies how many batteries are required to provide sufficient power for the LYNK network and compatible accessories. Some accessories may require more than one battery to provide sufficient power.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE Do not use an external power source to power devices over the LYNK Network. Failure to follow these instructions may result in equipment damage. |
NOTE |
|---|
The LYNK II Communication Gateway is required for diagnosing the batteries and using the LYNK Cloud web service. |
LYNK Network Size
One LYNK Network can support up to 36 HELIOS ESS Batteries. The total length of the LYNK network cables must not exceed 36 m (118 ft).
LYNK Network Cables
CAT6 or higher cables (included with HELIOS ESS batteries) network HELIOS ESS batteries.
LYNK Network Termination
Use a termination resistor on the last HELIOS ESS battery in the LYNK network.
