Switches 4, 5, & 6: Battery Charging Settings
It is important to select the battery type that matches the system battery to ensure proper charg-
ing and long battery life. Refer to the speci
fi cations provided by the battery manufacturer and
choose a setting that best fi ts the recommended charging pro fi le.

All settings are for 12 Volt nominal systems. Multiply the charge voltage settings by 2 for 24 Volt
systems or by 4 for 48 Volt systems. A description of each setting is provided below. See sec-
tion 4.3 for full details on battery charging and a description of each of the settings in the battery
charging table.
Battery Type - The most common battery type associated with the speci fi ed charging settings.
Absorption Stage - This stage limits input current so that the Absorption voltage is maintained.
As the battery becomes more charged, the charging current continues to taper down until the
battery is fully charged.
Float Stage - When the battery is fully charged, the charging voltage will be reduced to the Float
voltage setting.
Equalize Stage - During an equalization cycle, the charging voltage will be held constant at the
speci
fi ed voltage setting.
Equalize Interval - The number of days between equalization charges when the controller is con-
fi gured for automatic equalizations (settings switch 7).
Switch 7: Battery Equalization
Choose between manual and automatic battery equalization charging. In the manual equaliza-
tion setting, an equalization will only occur when manually started with the pushbutton or when
requested from the equalize menu on the TriStar meter. Automatic equalization will occur accord-
ing to the battery program speci
fi ed by settings switches 4, 5, & 6 in the previous step.
In both settings (auto and manual), the pushbutton can be used to start and stop battery equal-
ization. If the selected battery charging setting does not have an equalization stage an equaliza-
tion will never occur, even if requested manually.
