STORAGE MODE
The ASPower will enter Storage Mode if the the battery voltage runs low or if the
load isolation switch on the ASPower is activated.
When in Storage Mode, power to the CAN bus will be turned off, meaning there
will be no communication or power to the accessories connected to the ASPower
CAN bus.
Storage Mode is a convenient way to save the remaining power of your battery
if you are on the road and have limited ability to charge the battery. When
charging, Storage Mode ensures that all available charging current is dedicated
to charging your battery.
To exit Storage Mode, start battery charging. The ASPower will exit Storage
Mode when the battery is sufficiently charged. Upon exit of Storage Mode, the
ASPower will not automatically return to its previous state of operation. Caravan
loads will need to be powered on manually.
When in Storage Mode you may temporarily turn on caravan loads by cycling the
caravan’s Load Isolation Switch.
Heavily Discharged Lead-Acid Batteries
The ASPower will not charge lead-acid batteries if the battery voltage is below
7V.
In normal use, and with the ASPower battery health preservation, batteries
should never become heavily discharged.
If your battery is heavily discharged, disconnect it from the ASPower and charge
with a stand-alone charger. Reconnect the battery once the battery voltage has
recovered to normal levels.
Heavily Discharged LiFePO4 Batteries
The ASPower can recover and charge a heavily discharged LiFePO4 battery. The
internal Battery Management System (BMS) of a LiFePO4 battery will turn off
if it detects that the battery is heavily discharged. The ASPower will provide the
voltage to restart the LiFePO4 battery’s BMS and then commence charging of
the LiFePO4 battery.
