Battery Charger Rate
With this field, you can change the UPS charge rate, in percentage terms. Here,
100% represents the manufacturer's recommended rate.
For example, to double the charge rate set this to 200%.
The rate includes both internal and external batteries. This number does not
change when external packs are added or removed. However, removing an
external battery pack effectively increases the charging rate. Similarly, adding an
external battery pack decreases the charging rate.
Caution:Charging at too high a rate can result in boiling and/or venting of
electrolytes and/or high gas pressure. Do not change this setting unless you have
strong background knowledge in this area.
Battery Type
Indicate the battery type where VRLA is Valve Regulated Lead Acid and Vented
Cell is a wet cell type battery (as used in cars).
