1 INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT
When the BMS is set to ‘Storage’ mode and no valid charging sources are
connected, it will enter a ‘Sleep’ mode after 2-3 seconds. The sleep mode is
designed to limit the amount of current drawn from the output battery by the
system whilst in Storage mode and does this by switching the screen and all
non-essential functions off. The BMS will ‘wake-up’ from its Sleep mode if any
valid input source is sensed, though this may take 30-60 seconds to occur after
the source in connected. This delay can be avoided by disconnecting the output
before connecting an input source however the State of Charge of the output
battery will not be retained (i.e. SOC screen will return to ‘Analysing’ until a
charge cycle in completed).
