CAUTION: Equipment damage!
Equalization may increase battery voltage to the level that damages
sensitive DC loads. Verify that all load allowable input voltages are 11%
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.
Some types of batteries benefit from equalizing charge on a regular basis, which is able
to stir electrolyte, balance battery voltage and accomplish chemical reaction. Equalizing
charge increases battery voltage, higher than the standard complement voltage, which
gasifies the battery electrolyte.
The controller will equalize the battery on 28th each month. The constant equalization
period is 0-180 minutes. If the equalization isn't accomplished in one-time, the
equalization recharge time will be accumulated until the set time is finished. Equalize
charge and boost charge are not carried out constantly in a full charge process to avoid
too much gas precipitation or overheating of battery.
NOTE:
1) Due to the influence of ambient circumstance or load working, the battery
voltage can't be steady in constant voltage, controller will accumulate and
calculate the time of constant voltage working. When the accumulated time reach
to 3 hours, the charging mode will turn to Float Charging.
2) If the controller time is not adjusted, the controller will equalize charge battery
once every month following the inner time.
C) Float Charging
After the Constant voltage stage, the controller will reduce charging current to Float
Voltage setpoint. This stage will have no more chemical reactions and all the charge
current transforms into heat and gas at this time. Then the controller reduces the
voltage to the floating stage,
charging with a smaller voltage and current. It will reduce the temperature of the battery
and prevent the gassing and charging the battery slightly at the same time. The purpose
