The ProStar MPPT provides seven (7) standard battery
charging settings that are selected with the settings switches
(see Table 4.1 above). These standard charging settings
are suitable for lead-acid batteries ranging from sealed
(gel, AGM, maintenance-free) to Flooded and L-16 cells.
In addition, an eighth charging setting provides for custom
set-points using MSView
TM
PC software. Table 4-1 above
summarizes the major parameters of the standard charging
settings. The shared settings in Table 4-2 are common to
all battery types. The following charging profiles graphically
illustrate the shared settings:

Figure 4-3. Absorption Extension Charging Profile
If battery voltage discharges below 12.50 volts (25.00 volts
@ 24V) the previous night, Absorption charging will be
extended on the next charge cycle as shown in figure 4-3
above. 30 minutes will be added to the normal Absorption
duration.
