maintain the battery at the Float setpoint. Should the battery voltage remains below the
boost reconnect charging voltage, the controller will exit Float stage and return to
Bulk charging.
·Equalize
WARNING: Risk of explosion!
Equalizing flooded battery can produce explosive gases, so well
ventilation of battery box is necessary.
CAUTION: Equipment damage!
Equalization may increase battery voltage to the level
damaging to sensitive DC loads. Ensure that all load allowable
input voltages are greater than the equalizing charging set
point voltage.
CAUTION: Equipment damage! Over-charging and excessive
gas precipitation may damage the battery plates and activate
material shedding on them. Too high an equalizing charge or
for too long may cause damage. Please carefully review the
specific requirements of the battery used in the system.
Certain types of batteries benefit from periodic equalizing charge, which can stir the
electrolyte, balance battery voltage and complete chemical reaction. Equalizing charge
increases the battery voltage, higher than the standard complement voltage, which
gasifies the battery electrolyte.
If it detects that the battery is being over discharged, the solar controller will
automatically turn the battery to equalization charging stage, and the equalization
charging will be 120mins. Equalizing charge and boost charge are not carried out
constantly in a full charge process to avoid too much gas precipitation or overheating of
battery.
