Configuring Charge Current for
Battery Size
The XPLORE Charger is designed to work with a minimum
battery bank size. Each bank should meet the minimum Ah rating
shown in
Table 3 . These minimum values are based on twice the
charger’s rated maximum charging current.
The XPLORE Charger features an adjustable charger current
between 5 to 120A (see
Changing the Charge Current on page 1 ).
Remember to always adjust the charger current based on the
battery size to ensure a proper charging of the battery. For
example, a 20-amp charger will charge a minimum 40 Ah battery.
If you are considering new batteries, please consult the battery’s
manufacturer for their recommendation based on the maximum
charging current of your charger.
NOTE : If the battery manufacturer has specified the
maximum charge current, please follow their
recommendation.
