7.3 Battery Charging Profile Chart
Auto Equalize: The GP-PWM-30-UL has an automatic equalize feature
that will charge and recondition your batteries once a month at a higher
voltage to ensure that any excess sulfation is removed.
This feature is only available when Flooded batteries are
selected.
7.4 Maximum Power Boost Technology™
Maximum Power Boost Technology™ (MPBT) allows you to override the
normal charging algorithm of the solar controller. MPBT is designed to be
used before the end of the day, if you know you will require many loads
through the night. This feature can also be used when you have just
installed the solar controller, to put batteries on a boost charge up to 14.4
VDC (Flooded and AGM) (14.1 VDC for Sealed/Gel) right away.
To activate, hold the MAX
BOOST Button for 3
seconds. As long as there
is full sunlight present, your
battery voltage will be
boosted (to 14.4 VDC for
Flooded and AGM and
14.1 VDC for
SEALED/GEL) for 30
minutes regardless of the
battery’s state of charge.
Bulk/Absorption Charge @ 25°C:
Set to 30 minutes every morning. Applied for 2
hours if the battery voltage drops below 12.3
volts.
Equalization Charge @ 25°C:
Applied for 2 hours every 28 days and if the
battery voltage drops below 12.1 volts.
If a charging cycle is unable to complete in a single day, it will continue the following day.
The terms SEALED/GEL, AGM and FLOODED are generic battery designations. Choose
the charging profile that works best with your battery manufacturer’s recommendations.
