Battery Max Amps Out:
Set for maximum supply battery current draw. If the
charge
rate is set higher than the input current allows, the Dual PowerLab 8x2 will draw no
more than the level set here, which may limit output current to the pack. If
Battery
Max Amps Out
is set too high, the battery’s output voltage may drop below
the
Battery Low Voltage Out
setting and charging will stop and the input battery could
be damaged from excessive current draw.
Enable Regenerative Discharge:
If checked, pack discharge energy (up to
40A/1344W) is sent to supply battery during discharge cycles. If not checked,
discharge is dissipated internally (limited to 95W).
Regen. Amps IN to Pb:
Set to maximum regenerative current to supply battery.
Consider battery chemistry and size when setting this value. For example, Lead Acid
batteries should not be charged at a rate higher than C/8.
Regen. Charge Voltage IN to Pb:
Set to maximum regenerative voltage applied
to
supply battery. For a 24V supply battery, Dual PowerLab 8x2 will automatically double
the value set here. If the regenerative voltage reaches the value set here, Dual
PowerLab 8x2 switches to internal discharge to prevent the supply battery from being
overcharged.
Expansion Channel section
If the DPL is operating in
, select the channel from which
supply data will be displayed.

CAUTION:
An excessively high and sustained regenerative current back into
the supply battery can harm the battery and reduce its useful life. Always
follow the input battery manufacturer’s recommendations when setting up for
regenerative discharge.
