Set the Battery type
The Wanderer PWM charge controller has a reactivation feature
to awaken a sleeping lithium battery. The protection circuit of
Li-ion battery will typically turn the battery off and make it
unusable if over-discharged. This can happen when storing a
Li-ion pack in a discharged state for any length of time as
self-discharge would gradually deplete the remaining charge.
Without the wake-up feature to activate and charge batteries,
these batteries would become unserviceable and the packs
would be discarded. The Wanderer will apply a small charge
current to activate the protection circuit and if a correct cell
voltage can be reached, it starts a normal charge.
Over-charging and excessive gas precipitation may damage the
battery plates and activate material shedding on them. Too high
of equalizing charge or for too long may cause damage. Please
carefully review the specific requirements of the battery used in
the system.
At minimum you should set the battery type and voltage to
ensure your system’s livelihood.
