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.
6.5.1
Adding a new battery
In the settings menu navigate to DEVICES > BATTERY
Select “Add new” and fill in the requested data.
·
NAME - Name the battery/battery bank accordingly (STARTER, SERVICE, MAIN, etc.)
·
TYPE - Select the battery type (Wet low maintenance, Wet maintenance free, AGM, Deep cycle, Gel, LiFePO4)
·
C/20 - The declared capacity of your battery.
·
C/10 - Input only if the rating is explicitly provided by the manufacturer of your battery, otherwise leave it as “Not Set”.
·
C/5 – Input only if the rating is explicitly provided by the manufacturer of your battery, otherwise leave it as “Not Set”.
When configuring a battery bank, you have to input the ratings of the battery bank as a whole.
Example: if you have 3x 100Ah batteries connected in parallel, C20 = 3x 100Ah = 300Ah. The same rule applies for C10 and
C5 ratings.
For lithium batteries, only input C20 rating and keep C10 and C5 as “Not Set”.
·
VOLTMETER - Select a voltmeter connected to the battery. Only voltmeters that are not already used elsewhere in the
configuration are displayed on the screen.
Note: Do not select PICO Internal - as this is not a calibrated voltage reading.
