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 setpoints.
The voltage level settings should be adjusted with the battery at a
reference temperature of 25 °C.
WARNING: Explosion Hazard
Only flooded or vented batteries should be equalize-charged.
Hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced when batteries are
equalize-charged. Provide adequate ventilation and remove all
sources of ignition to prevent explosion.
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.
