ATTENTION: 

Dégât sur l'équipement! 

Un chargement excessif et une précipitation de gaz peut 
endommager les plaques de la batterie et la formation de matières 

actives dessus. Un chargement trop fort ou une égalisation prolongée 
peut causer des dégâts. Inspectez soigneusement les conditions 
spécifiques de la batterie utilisée dans le système. 

Some types of batteries benefit from equalizing charge on a regular basis, 
which is able to stir electrolyte, balance battery voltage and accomplish 
chemical reaction. Equalizing charge increases battery voltage, higher than 
the standard complement voltage, which gasifies the battery electrolyte. 
The controller will equalize the battery on the 28th each month. The constant 

equalization period is 0~180 minutes. If the equalization isn‘t accomplished in 

one-time, the equalization recharge time will be accumulated until the set time 
is finished. Equalize charge and boost charge are not carried out constantly in 
a full charge process to avoid too much gas precipitation or overheating of 
battery. 

NOTE: 1) Due to the influence of ambient circumstance or load working, 

the battery voltage can’t be steady in constant voltage, controller will 

accumulate and calculate the time of constant voltage working. When the 
accumulated time reach to 3 hours, the charging mode will turn to Float 
Charging. 
2) If the controller time is not adjusted, the controller will equalize charge 
battery once every month following the inner time. 

C) Float Charging 

After the Constant voltage stage, the controller will reduce charging current to 
Float Voltage set point. This stage will have no more chemical reactions and all 
the charge current transforms into heat and gas at this time. Then the 
controller reduces the voltage to the floating stage, charging with a smaller 
voltage and current. It will reduce the temperature of the battery and prevent 
the gassing and charging the battery slightly at the same time. The purpose of 
Float stage is to offset the power consumption caused by self consumption and 
small loads in the whole system, while maintaining full battery storage 
capacity.   

In Float charging stage, loads are able to obtain almost all power from solar 
panel. If loads exceed the power, the controller will no longer be able to 
maintain battery voltage in Float charging stage. If the battery voltage remains 
below the Recharge Voltage, the system will leave Float charging stage and 
return to Bulk charging stage.
