9.0 OPERATION
9.1
MPPT Charge Regulators
Recommended Inverter Settings:
Bulk (Absorb) Voltage: 2.40 VPC
Float Voltage: 2.25 VPC
Equalize Voltage: 2.67 VPC
Rebulk or Recharge Voltage: 2.08 VPC
Equalize charge should be done every 6 months for a minimum of 1 hour, maximum of 3 hours.
If possible, add water during the last 30 minutes of equalize charge. This helps ensure good
mixing of the electrolyte when the water is added.

ON/OFF Solar Charge Regulators
In order to ensure optimum recharge, the following setting charge disconnect and restart
voltages can be applied:
9.1.2
Low Voltage Disconnect
As a rule, installations will be equipped with a regulator whose voltage threshold values will
protect against deep discharge:
