6.4 Battery configuration
PICO shows all properly configured batteries. Each correctly configured battery
will automatically show up on PICO. The following section describes how to set
up a battery on PICO.
6.4.1 Add new battery
The following steps are equal for SC300, SC302T and SC500 digital shunts.
In the settings menu, navigate to DEVICES BATTERIES.
Select “Add new” and fill in the requested data.
• Name the battery/battery bank accordingly (STARTER, SERVICE,
MAIN, etc.)
• Select the battery type (Wet low maintenance, Wet maintenance free,
AGM, Deep cycle, Gel, LiFePO4)
• Fill in the battery capacity for the next C ratings: C/20, C/10 and C/5. If
you don’t know all the ratings, fill in just those ratings that you know. It is
highly recommended to fill at least two C ratings (one is not enough for
precise calculations).
A “C” rating is simply a battery’s capacity (or Ah/amp hour rating) when
discharged over a specific period. The “C” rating is usually specified on
the battery label.
For correct operation, unknown ratings must be set as “Not set”!
• Select a voltmeter which is connected to the battery. You can see only
voltmeters that are not already used by other battery configurations.
