S-8500
WARNING: If the auto stop voltage set point is set too low, this will result
in an increased number of charge cycles and will likely lower the battery
and TEG life. The higher the auto stop voltage, the longer the TEG will
operate before turning off.
WARNING: Always set the Auto stop voltage set point to be at least 0.5V
below the output voltage, otherwise the TEG will likely run continuously.
If the maximum achievable voltage output from the power electronics is
lower than the temperature compensated stop voltage, then the TEG will
run continuously until the temperature rises to undo this condition. This
is often the case at cooler temperatures, see table 12 for the effect of
temperature compensation.
An example of cycle charging would be when the TEG is a secondary charger in a hybrid system,
and provides backup charging in when the primary charging system is unable to charge the bat-
tery.
WARNING: If the TEG is used in a battery charging application, the oper-
ating mode must be changed to TCBC in combination with the required
optional temperature sensor(s) for proper TCBC operation. If left in pow-
er supply mode or without the temperature sensor(s), the battery may
not be charged according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
