AIMS designed it specifically to connect to the master lithium battery cabinet (LFP230V96A-M), and it increases total available battery capacity through parallel expansion. Each cabinet holds six 38.4V lithium packs prewired in series for 230.4V DC, 96Ah and 22.1kWh (22,114 watt hours).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's for homes, businesses and backup systems that already have, or are planning, an LFP230V96A-M master cabinet and want more stored energy for critical loads, nighttime use or peak-rate hours. AIMS requires one master cabinet and allows up to two slave cabinets, for up to three cabinets per hybrid inverter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAIMS Power 230V 96Ah LiFePO4 Slave Battery Cabinet Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eParallel Expansion for Your Master Cabinet\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe slave cabinet adds capacity by connecting to the master cabinet, and AIMS says battery management for the system is integrated through the master cabinet.

The slave cabinet connects to the master and can't be used on its own. Both hold the same six prewired 38.4V packs for 22.1kWh each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAdding a Slave Cabinet Versus Adding Separate Batteries\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeparate batteries have to be wired and set up one at a time.

AIMS allows a maximum of two slave cabinets with one master. When you add cabinets, set the ADDR dip switch for the number of cabinets: dip switch two up for two cabinets or dip switch three up for three, with all other switches down. Dip switch four isn't used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePlan the Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach cabinet weighs 882 lbs and measures 68.75 inches high, 33.75 inches deep and 24.75 inches wide, so plan the floor space and how you'll move it into place. Turn off all power sources before making connections, and never reverse the polarity, which AIMS says voids the warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThis May Be A Good Fit If\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou have or plan an LFP230V96A-M master cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour system has fewer than two slave cabinets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want 22.1kWh more storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou run an AIMS hybrid inverter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I Use the Slave Cabinet Without a Master?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. AIMS designed it specifically to connect to the LFP230V96A-M master cabinet, and one master is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow Many Slave Cabinets Can I Add?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to two.
