F02 - BATTERY TYPE
This function allows the choice of liquid or gelled electrolyte batteries.
1 = WET (LIQUID) ELECTROLYTE (DEFAULT)
2 = GELLED ELECTROLYTE
The default value is Type #1 which is equal to a liquid electrolyte lead acid battery.
To select Type #2, which is for gelled electrolyte lead acid batteries, simply go through
the normal set up procedure. Changing the battery type sets the appropriate charge and
float voltages for the Freedom series inverter/charger. See Table below.
F03 -
SET AMBIENT BATTERY TEMPERATURE
DEFAULT = 70F RANGE = 30-120F STEP = 10F
The default value for ambient temperature is 70
0
F. The ambient temperature of the
battery may be set up to select the appropriate Charge and Float Voltages for the inverter/
charger. The temperature may be selected in 10
0
F increments. The set up procedure is
the same as previously described.
Setting up a different value should only be done if the battery is at a temperature
significantly different from 70
0
F when they are being charged from the Freedom In-
verter/Charger. If the batteries are located in a hot engine room, but are not normally
charged from the Freedom Charger when the engine is running, do not adjust the tempera-
ture to the engine room level.
High temperatures are destructive to batteries. If your batteries are regularly sub-
jected to temperatures above 100
0
F you should relocate them or supply forced fresh air
ventilation.
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION TABLE
Caution! Do not adjust to extremes unless the battery is normally at that
temperature. Destructive over or under charging may occur.
Multiply values by 2 for 24 Volt systems.
