General Information
3.2.4 Float Charging of Batteries under Long Term Storage:
In order to prevent sulfation
due to under charging as a result of self-discharge, Lead Acid battery under long term storage
should be first fully charged and then left under continuous charge using a suitable “Float
Charger” that will Float Charge the battery and provide low value of “Float Charge Current”
of around 0.1% of the Ah capacity of the battery to compensate for self discharge. SC-05 and
SC-10 SunCharger Solar Panels are designed to provide this “Float Charge Current" and thus,
prevent sulfation. Please refer to Section 5.2 for more details.
!
CAUTION!
As explained at Section 3.3, “Float Charger” like SC-05 / SC-10 is designed to
provide low current > 0.1% of the Ah capacity of the battery to maintain a fully
charged battery under storage. This low current is designed to compensate for the
self-discharge under storage. This low value of current will NOT be able to recharge
a discharged battery. For re-charging of deeply discharged battery, a standard higher
capacity, 3 or 4 Stage Charger should be used.
!
ATTENTION!
Comme expliqué à la Section 3.3, "flotter" Chargeur comme SC-05 / SC-10 est conçu pour fournir un
courant faible > ; 0,1 % de la capacité de la batterie Ah pour maintenir une batterie complètement
chargée en vertu de l'entreposage. Cette faible consommation est destiné à compenser l'auto-décharge
en vertu de l'entreposage. Cette faible valeur du courant ne sera pas en mesure de recharger une bat-
terie déchargée. Pour changer l'état de la batterie complètement déchargée, une plus grande capacité
standard, 3 ou 4 Chargeur étape devrait être utilisé.
3.3 FEATURES
•
Efficient Design and Superior Quality
•
Efficient mono-crystalline PV cells – 24 cells in series with Open Circuit Voltage V
OC
of 15.3V
•
Direct float charging - additional Charge Controller is not required. Lower V
OC
of
15.3V prevents over charging.
•
A Blocking Diode is built-in, thus preventing current from flowing back from the
battery to the solar panel in darkness. Hence, the panels can be connected directly
to the battery without using an external Blocking Diode. Forward Voltage Drop V
f
of
the Blocking Diode = 0.55V.
•
Top layer of clear, UV resistant Fluoropolymer material provides good light
transmission and self healing of slight abrasions.
•
Sealed junction box (houses the Blocking Diode) has 10ft of UL listed, sunlight resis-
tant output cable terminated with SAE Connector. 2 Adapter Cable Sets with SAE to
Ring Terminals / 12V Accessory Plug have also been provided for convenient battery
connection.
•
12V batteries can be float charged directly without use of a Charge Controller.
•
Weatherproof - includes UV protection and protection from weather effects of
-40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F).
