4.5.7 Low Temperature Foldback
The ProStar has a Low Temperature Foldback option
which can be used to protect lithium batteries from
being charged in cold conditions. Custom settings
defining the bounds of charge current reduction
due to low battery temperature can be programmed
in MSView, or with the Advanced Custom Settings
options with the display interface. Advanced Custom
Settings options are available with ProStar built-in
meter models.
The High Limit defines the lowest temperature
at which the controller will deliver 100% of the
controller’s rated output charging current. The Low
Limit defines the temperature at which the controller
will stop providing battery charging current. The
charge current is tapered linearly from the High Limit
to the Low Limit.
NOTE:
Local meter display setup required for Low
Limit < 1° Celsius.
