Temperature Compensation
If a Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) is installed, the charge controlling
process will be automatically adjusted for the battery temperature. Set bulk and
float voltage for a battery at normal room temperature 7480 °F (2327 °C).
Actual voltage may vary above or below these settings due to adjustment for
battery temperature.
If no Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) is installed and the batteries will be
operating in very hot or very cold conditions, adjust the bulk and float settings to
allow for the battery temperature. The recommended adjustments can be
found in the table below. The setting should be lowered for ambient
temperatures above 80 °F (27 °C) and raised for ambient temperature below
75 °F (23 °C). If significant seasonal variations are common, you will have to
change the settings several times a year to prevent battery damage and ensure
proper operation.
NOTE: Do NOT compensate the settings when using the C-Series controller as
a DC load controller.
Table 6
Temperature Compensation
Temperature compensation is based on battery type: 5 mV/cell for lead
acid type batteries and 2 mV/cell for alkaline type batteries (NiCad or NiFe).
