Description
CHARGE V
CHARGE VOLTAGE - Used in conjunction with
Taper Current to determine when full charge has
been reached. The charging voltage must reach
this Voltage and the current must be BELOW the
Taper Current set. Set this value to SLIGHTLY
LOWER than the current your charging source
reaches at the end of the absorption stage, be-
fore it switches to FLOAT.
TAPER CURR
TAPER CURRENT - Used with the Charge
Current to determine when a full charge has
been reached. As a general rule it should be set
to slightly higher then the actual taper current,
often about 2-4% of the Full Charge capacity of
the battery
PEUKERT
PEUKERT QUOTIENT VALUE - The default value
for each chemistry should only be changed
if a different value is provided by the battery
manufacturer.
If the CHARGE VOLTAGE has been reached AND the current flowing to the
battery is less than the TAPER CURRENT then the SG200 changes the State
of Charge to 100% as it considers charging to be complete. If you find that the
battery is still charging when this happens, check your CHARGE VOLTAGE
and TAPER CURRENT values. You can raise the CHARGE VOLTAGE or
TAPER CURRENT (or both) in small increments to more closely match the
period between the SG200 setting the SoC to 100% and the actual end of
charge current. If these values are not correct (CHARGE VOLTAGE too high,
or TAPER CURRENT too low, or both) then the SG200 may not be able to
properly update the State of Health.
