12 Battery Charging Menu
Battery Charging parameters are programmed in 12 Battery Charging
Menu using the following menu items. Some of the menu items will
require making calculations. Others just require making selections
between the set points.
The voltage level settings should be adjusted with the battery at a
reference temperature of 25 °C (77° F).
12A Finish Stage
This menu item determines the Charging Mode (Silent or Float) after the
bulk and absorption charge have finished. Select either mode depending
on your installation.
See “Finish Stage” on page 6-17 for additional information.
Additional programming will be required if Silent Mode is selected. See
“20 Silent Setup Menu” on page 7–13 for additional information on the
Silent Mode programming.
CAUTION: Damage to DC Loads and Batteries
DC loads should be disconnected from the batteries during equalization charging
to protect DC loads from high battery voltages.
Equalization was designed for use on standard, liquid electrolyte (lead acid)
batteries. Other battery types can be permanently damaged if equalized. If you
have sealed or gel cell batteries, do not use the equalization charging function
without first checking with the battery manufacturer.
Batteries will heat up when equalize charging. Always monitor the battery
temperature in 04K Battery Temp Degrees C and shut down the charger if the
temperature exceeds the manufacturer’s specifications. The BTS must be
installed for the inverter to monitor battery temperature.
