The Axpert inverters are fully compatible with the full range of Hubble batteries as well as our Cloudlink battery monitoring device. The following guide will assist with the correct battery settings and cable connections you should use.
For further detailed information ensure you read the manual of the supplied battery regarding setup and installation instructions.

cloudlink & pin layout
PLEASE NOTE: Below are the recommended pin layouts for the Cloudlink to inverter cable connection. Custom RJ12 to RJ45 wire only - 450mm length. Ensure that the clip is pointed away from you when counting the pins. The Hubble Lithium BMS pinouts are the same as the Cloudlink CAN pinouts.
PIN | CLOUDLINK S-PORT (RJ12) | INV-RS232 (RJ45) | CLOUDLINK - CAN (RJ45) | BATTERY-CAN (RJ45) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 12V | INVERTER TX | N/A | N/A |
2 | N/A | INVERTER RX | GND | GND |
3 | CLOUDLINK RX | N/A | N/A | N/A |
4 | CLOUDLINK TX | 12V | CAN-H | CAN-H |
5 | GND | N/A | CAN-L | CAN-L |
6 | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
7 | - | N/A | N/A | N/A |
8 | - | GND | N/A | N/A |
HUBBLE DIP SWITCH SETTINGS FOR MULTIPLE BATTERY INSTALLATION
​
​For correct setup and communication each battery needs a unique serial address in order to communicate. If you are only using one battery in your setup, consider this the master battery and ensure you set it to address 1.

am-5 & AM-10
Is there communications between the Phocos and the Hubble lithium batteries?
​
The Hubble range of batteries communicate to inverters using the CAN port. The Axpert inverter range does not have a CAN bus communications port. Although it does have a Modbus port, we do not support Modbus. CAN bus communication is optional for Hubble and Axpert and the Hubble range of batteries work very well without communications. This is made possible by our internal BMS DC/DC converter and current limiting module. Our BMS will limit the current to the cells when requires through hardware instead of communications. Thus making the Hubble a great fit for inverters without CAN bus.
If you would like full communications between the Axpert and the Hubble battery, you can invest in the Hubble Cloudlink device. The Cloudlink will enable remote monitoring, 2-way BMS integration and remote management of the Axpert through your free cloud account. Officially we recommend installing a Cloudlink with the Hubble on a Axpert inverter so you can monitor, control and troubleshoot your solar system and Hubble lithium batteries remotely.
​
How do you setup multiple batteries?
​
​Check the manual for a more detailed explanation. You will have to set dip switch settings per battery to give them a unique address. You also have to connect the included RJ45 battery link cables into the "Battery Link" port of each battery. Ensure your master battery dip switch 1 is on, 2,3,4 is OFF. Only the master battery CAN Bus will be enabled. You can then connect the Cloudlink device into the CAN port of the master battery for communications to work.

Do I have to use the communication battery link cables if i dont want to monitor or have communications?
Yes
