Battery parameters
For the PowerRouter Solar Battery, it is necessary to congure a number of battery parameters to achieve
optimal operation. These data can be entered using the Software Installation Tool or the installation help on the
display.
Capacity
Capacity of the connected 24 V batteries. Specied on the battery datasheet, with discharge time.
Example C10 200 Ah: This means that the battery capacity is 200 Ah if it is fully discharged within 10 hours
(around 1 night). If a C10 value is not specied, enter the closest C value. For the system to work well, the
capacity must be between 150 Ah and 1000 Ah. On a 5kW system, Nedap recommends a battery capacity of
350 - 450 Ah.
Charge current
Maximum battery charging current. Nedap recommends 1/4 or 1/5 of the capacity.
Type
Battery type: Lead acid, wet or gel
Charging method
3-state adaptive or xed voltage
Voat
Fixed charging voltage. Specied on the battery datasheet. Warning: The voltage is often given PER CELL and
must be multiplied by the number of cells in the battery. Use the standard settings if the charging voltage is not
specied.
Vbulk
Bulk charge voltage, also called ‘boost’. Specied on the battery datasheet. Warning: The voltage is given PER
CELL. This must be multiplied by the number of cells of the battery. Use the standard settings if the bulk voltage
is not specied.
Software Installation Tool settings
These battery parameters can be changed via the
Software Installation Tool. In addition to these, there are
many other settings possible.
More information about the options for the settings
can be found in the Application guideline – Software
Installation Tool, which can be found on the website:
www.PowerRouter.com.
