SETUP: 04 Battery Type
– This setting selects the battery type, which
determines the battery charge pro
fi
le and ensures the batteries are receiving
the proper charge voltage. The settings for the battery voltage charge levels
are
fi
xed when using the
GEL
,
Flooded
,
AGM1
,
AGM2, or LFP
selections; or
adjustable if using the
CC/CV
or
Custom
selections.
Default setting:
Battery Type = Flooded
Range:
GEL, AGM1, AGM2, Flooded, CC/CV, Custom, LFP,

Battery Type (GEL, Flooded, AGM1, or AGM2)
– When the battery
type selection is
GEL
(for Gel batteries),
Flooded
(for liquid lead acid batteries),
AGM1
(for Lifeline AGM batteries), or
AGM2
(for East Penn/Deka/Discover/
Trojan AGM batteries), the charge voltage level for the Absorption, Float, and
EQ charge modes are
fi
xed and shown in Table 3-4—depending on the battery
type selected and the nominal inverter battery voltage
.

◊
Battery Type (CC/CV) –
The
CC/CV
selection provides a Constant
Current/Constant Voltage (CC/CV) charging method with an adjustable charge
voltage and a setting that limits output current—if needed. It consolidates
all the battery charge settings that are required for a 2-stage charging cycle
(i.e., Constant Current and Constant Voltage).
Info:
If
04 Battery Type
is set to
CC/CV
, the
03 Absorb Time
,
05
Charge Rate
, and
09 Final Charge
menus are no longer accessible and
display “CV/CC Controlled” when selected. This prevents access to
settings that may cause a charging con
fl
ict while in the CC/CV pro
fi
le.
Info:
When the CC/CV battery type has been selected, remove the
BTS from the inverter to prevent the BTS from changing the charge
voltage level based on temperature.
Info:
The CC/CV battery type selection forces the charger to go into
the Constant Current charge mode each time AC is connected. If
AC is reconnected less than two minutes after being disconnected,
the charger will return to the previous charge mode.
Max Amps
– Sets the maximum charge amperage allowed to charge
the batteries during the CC/CV charge cycles. The range of settings are
provided to limit the charge current to the battery bank, which helps prevent
battery overheating caused by charging at too high a charge rate.
Default:
200 ADC
Range:
20 - 990 ADC
Info:
If the Battery Monitor Kit is connected, the DC amps value
determined by the BMK (under
METER: 03 BM: Meters/DC Amps
)
will be used by the CC/CV’s
Max Amps
setting instead of the
inverter’s DC calculated current (shown under
METER: 01A INV/
CHG Meter/ DC:
)—as it is more accurate (+/- .1 ADC).
