03B Battery Type
- Used to select the battery type, which determines
the battery charge pro
fi
le and ensures the batteries are receiving the proper
charge voltage. The
fi
xed voltage selections are GEL (for Gel batteries),
Flooded (for liquid lead acid batteries), AGM 1 (for Lifeline AGM batteries),
and AGM 2 (for East Penn/Deka/Discover/Trojan AGM batteries).
The
‘Custom’ selection allows the Float and Absorb charge voltage settings to be
individually adjusted. S
ee Table 3-3 to determine the speci
fi
c charge voltage
based on the Battery Type selected.
Default setting:
Battery Type = Flooded
Info:
The voltage settings shown in Table 3-3 are based on the
Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) having been disconnected or at
a temperature of 77° F (25° C). If the BTS is connected, the actual
charge voltage will increase if the temperature around the BTS is
below 77° F (25° C), and decrease if higher than 77° F (25° C). This
ensures the batteries receive the correct charge voltage regardless
of temperature.

Note 1: voltage same as absorption voltage - to prevent equalization.
Note 2: specifi cations for Concord (Lifeline Series) AGM batteries.
Note 3: specifi cations for East Penn, Deka, Discover and Trojan AGM batteries.
Note 4: requires inverter with enabled software to operate.
03C Max Charge Rate -
Used to set the maximum charge rate allowed
to charge the batteries during bulk, absorption,
fl
oat and equalize charging.
Selections are ‘Max charge = 0%’ up to “Max charge = 100%”. The Max
charge = 0% setting is available to help minimize charging while continuing
to allow pass-thru power. The rest of the selections are provided to limit
the charge rate to the battery bank, which helps prevent battery overheating
caused by charging at too high a charge rate.
