PARAMETER RANGE DESCRIPTION
Reset Volts Per Cell 0.900–3.000V Theresetvoltagelevelischeckedonlyonce,whenKSIisrstturnedon.
BDI_Reset_Volts_Per_Cell 900 – 3000 NotethattheBDIResetPercentparameteralsoinuencesthealgorithm
0x3170 0x00 that determines whether BDI Percentage is reset to 100%. Reset Volts Per
Cell should always be set higher than Full Volts Per Cell.
Reset Voltage Level = Reset Volts Per Cell × number of cells in the
battery pack.*
Full Volts Per Cell
0.900 – 3.000 V The full voltage level sets the Keyswitch Voltage that is considered to be
BDI_Full_Volts_Per_Cell 900 – 3000 100% state-of-charge; when a loaded battery drops below this voltage, it

Monitor » Battery menu.
Full Voltage Level = Full Volts Per Cell × number of cells in the battery
pack.*
Empty Volts Per Cell
0.900 – 3.000 V The empty voltage level sets the Keyswitch Voltage that is considered
BDI_Empty_Volts_Per_Cell 900 – 3000 to be 0% state-of-charge.
0x3172 0x00 Empty Voltage Level = Empty Volts Per Cell × number of cells in the
battery pack.*
Discharge Time
0 – 600 minutes Sets the minimum time for the BDI algorithm to count down the BDI
BDI_Discharge_Time 0 – 600 Percentage from 100% to 0%. The BDI algorithm integrates the time the
0x3173 0x00 lteredkeyswitchvoltageisbelowthestateofchargevoltagelevel.When
that cumulative time exceeds the Discharge Time / 100, the BDI Percentage
is decremented by one percentage point and a new state of charge voltage
level is calculated.
State of Charge Level = ((Full Voltage Level - Empty Voltage Level)
× BDI Percentage / 100) + Empty Voltage Level.

BDI_Reset_Percent 0 – 100 can sometimes cause false resets. The BDI Reset Percent parameter
0x3174 0x00 addressesthisproblembyallowingtheusertodeneaBDIPercentage
value above which the BDI Percentage variable will not reset.
WhenKSIisrstpoweredon,theBDIPercentagevariablewillreset
to 100% only if ((Keyswitch Voltage > Reset Voltage Level) and (BDI
Percentage < BDI Reset Percent)).
*
To determine the number of cells in the battery pack,
divide the Nominal Voltage setting (page 64) by the battery
chemistry’snominalvolts-per-cell.
Lead Acid: 2.0 V/cell, nominal.
