1 General Information
Die Sunny Island product family (SI3.0M, SI4.4M, SI6.0H and SI8.0H) is equipped with an integrated battery
management for lead-acid batteries of type FLA and VRLA.
It is also possible to connect an external battery management that uses different battery technologies.
WARNING
Danger to life due to fire or explosion when batteries are fully discharged
A fire may occur due to incorrect charging of fully discharged batteries. This can result in death or serious injury.
• Before commissioning the system, verify that the battery is not fully discharged.
• Do not commission the system if the battery is fully discharged.
• If the battery is fully discharged, contact the battery manufacturer for further proceedings.
• Only charge fully discharged batteries as instructed by the battery manufacturer.
Legal Provisions
This document does not replace any regional, state, provincial, federal or national laws, regulations or standards
that apply to the installation, electrical safety and use of the product. SMA Solar Technology AG assumes no
responsibility for the compliance or non-compliance with such laws or codes in connection with the installation of
the Sunny Island.
Retrofitting
The batteries listed in this document can also be retrofitted to systems already in operation using Sunny
Island-11/-12/-13. The prerequisite for this is a firmware update of the inverter. The update file is, for example,
available for download on the product page of the inverter at www.SMA-Solar.com.

2) RESU 12 and RESU 13 are designed to be discharged under power of 5 kW in all operating modes (self-consumption systems and
battery-backup systems). The overload capability of the battery is limited to a duration of 3 seconds for all conditions exceeding nominal
power. Ensure that the system is operated according to its intended use.
3) If two RESU batteries are used with the RESU Plus Extension Kit, the total battery capacity is equal to the sum of the two individual battery
capacities. However, the maximum peak power of both batteries is limited to 5 kW with the RESU Plus Extension Kit. Therefore, only
Sunny Islands 3.0-4.4M can be used in the battery-backup system with the RESU Plus Extension Kit.

8) During three-phase continuous operation with the nominal power of the inverter, derating of the battery may occur depending on the
temperature and state of charge of the battery. Derating the battery temporarily reduces the power of the entire system.
