Lithium Battery Activation
The Adventurer 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 reactivate and recharge batteries, these batteries would become
unserviceable and the packs would be discarded. The Adventurer 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.
CAUTION:When using the Adventurer to charge a 24V lithium battery bank, set the system
voltage to 24V instead of auto recognition. Otherwise, the over-discharged 24V lithium battery
wouldn’t be activated.
Included Components
Remote Temperature Sensor (TS-R)
Measures the temperature at the battery and uses this data for
very accurate temperature compensation. The sensor is
supplied with a 6.6ft cable length that connects to the charge
controller.
NOTE: The Adventurer comes equipped with a temperature
sensor, but it is ONLY for the charge controller’s temperature
compensation, not the battery’s temperature compensation.
Remote Battery Voltage Sensor (RBVS)
Measures battery voltage accurately. The voltage detected at
the battery terminals on the controller may differ from the real
battery voltage due to the connection and cable resistance.
Therefore, this sensor, though not required, is recommended
for best performance.
Adventurer Surface Mount Attachment
The Renogy Adventurer Surface Mount will give you the option
to mount the charge controller to any flat surface; circumventing
the flush mount option.
NOTE: Screws included for the attachment
NOTE: Screws are included for flush mounting.
