Configuring the Freedom SW using the SCP
Battery Charger Functions
When AC power is available, the Freedom SW can operate as
a battery charger. Different battery types and chemistries
require different charging voltage levels. Not charging
batteries at the required levels can shorten battery life or
damage the batteries. The Freedom SW is configured at the
factory to work with the battery types recommended for
inverter applications. If the default settings do not work for
your specific installation, you can adjust the charge stage
settings (as recommended by the battery manufacturer) on the
Custom
(Battery)
Settings
Absorb
Time
Sets the maximum time spent in the absorption
stage, before transitioning to float or no float.
NOTE
: The Absorb Time setting resets to its
default value of 180 minutes when the Battery Type
is changed except when changing to Custom
Settings. In Custom Settings, the Absorb Time
setting will not reset to its default value.
Default
Batt
Temp
Selects the battery temperature charging
compensation if a battery temperature sensor is not
installed. In the absence of a battery temperature
sensor, the charger uses one of three settings:
Cold
(5 °C/41 °F),
Warm
(25 °C/77 °F), or
Hot
(40 °C/
104 °F).
