Setting the charge rate to 0% will stop the batteries from charging whilst
continuing to allow pass through power. Setting the charge rate between
0 - 100% will limit/increase the charge rate to the battery bank. Reducing
the charging rate can help to reduce battery overheating caused by charging
at high charge rate %.
The
Inverter/Charger
has a maximum charge rate of 100 Amps / hour, so setting
the charge rate to 50% will derate this charging capacity to 50 Amps / hour.
A guideline for battery bank charge rates is, for fast charging: C/5, where
C is the total amp hour capacity of the battery bank.
For example a 400 Amp hour capacity will have a fast charge rate of 80

6. FINAL CHARGE
The final charge setting is used to adjust what charging state the
Inverter/
Charger
transitions too after the absorption stage has finished.
The default setting is multi-stage, the other options are: silent and float.
Multi: The multi setting transitions from the absorption stage to float.
Once in the float stage for four hours with no DC loads on the batteries,
the charger enters the full charge state. In full charge mode, the charger
automatically stops charging but is still on and actively monitoring the
battery voltage. Multi is the most commonly used charge mode. It is
suitable for most applications and will assure a full charge to the batteries.
Amps/hour (400/5 = 80), which means setting the charge rate to 80%.
For slow charge rates a simple guideline is C/20, so a slow charge rate for the 400 Amp hour capacity battery bank will have a slow
charge rate of 20 Amps/hour (400/20 = 20), which means setting the charge rate to 20%.
The default setting is 80% and the range is from 0%-100% (in 10% increments).
Float: The float stage is a maintenance charge mode that maintains a constant voltage - while delivering up to the maximum rated
current of the charger in order to power any DC loads connected to the battery bank. Float mode is typically used when the charger
is the only charge source connected to the battery bank. This mode will maintain the batteries at float voltage.
Silent: Silent mode stops charging once it transitions from absorb mode. Once the charger enters the silent mode the battery voltage
is continuously monitored. If the battery bank falls to a predetermined set point, the charger restarts the bulk charge mode and
transitions to absorb charge mode and back to silent mode until the predetermined voltage set point is reached again. Silent mode
is typically used when an alternative charge source is available and able to fully charge or finish the charge cycle after the absorb
stage. A major difference between multi mode and silent mode is that the silent mode returns to bulk mode instead of float mode.
In silent mode you can also adjust the re-bulk set-point (see menu 10) in order to allow the alternate charge source to provide more
of the battery charging.
7. ABS (ABSORPTION) CHARGE TIME
The ABS charge time is used as a safety feature that ensures abnormal
conditions do not cause the charger to hold the batteries at a high voltage
for a prolonged period of time. This setting option allows the user to set a
maximum time the charger is allowed to operate in either constant current
or constant voltage charge modes. If the charger reaches the max time
setting, it will transition to the silent charge stage.
The default setting is 2.0 Hrs and the range is 0.5 - 24.0 Hours (in 0.1 Hr
increments).
