Switches 4, 5, 6: Battery Type Selection
Preset ProStar MPPT battery charging options are shown in
table 3-1 below. All voltage settings listed are for nominal
12 volt batteries.
Multiply the voltage settings by two (2) for 24 volt systems.
NOTE:
These settings are general guidelines for
use at the operator’s discretion. The ProStar MPPT
can be programmed to satisfy a wide range of charging param-
eters, but only the battery manufacturer can recommend optimal
settings for their products.
