Table 4-2. Battery settings that are shared between all battery types
The TriStar MPPT provides seven (7) standard battery charging settings that are selected with
the settings switches (see X-X in Installation). These standard charging settings are suitable for
lead-acid batteries ranging from sealed (gel, AGM, maintenance-free) to Flooded and L-16 cells.
In addition, an 8th charging setting provides for custom setpoints using MSView
TM
PC software.
Table 4-1 above summarizes the major parameters of the standard charging settings.
The shared settings in table 4-2 are common to all battery types. The following charging pro
