Reference
Temperature
The temperature where no voltage adjustment is
applied. This is recommended by battery
manufacturer.
Compensation
Factor
This is voltage drop or Increase/cell/
C temperature.
A factor of 2mv
–
5mV / cell/
C can be defined. Set it
as per battery manufacturer recommendation.
High Limit
While increasing charge voltage due to temperature
compensation, no additional voltage adjustment is
made above this voltage limit.

Low Limit
While decreasing charge voltage due to temperature
compensation, no additional voltage adjustment is
made below this voltage limit.
EQUALIZE
Equalize charges batteries at a higher voltage after they have been fully charged to ensure that all individual
cell voltages are the same, that electrolyte is distributed evenly, and that sulphate crystal build-up on the
plates is reduced.
Equalize can be scheduled to occur at regular intervals and/or can be started/stopped manually.
Refer to the battery manufacturer's instructions before using Equalize.
