Battery Bank Size Requirements
The BC Series is designed to work with a minimum battery bank size. Each bank
should meet the minimum Ah rating shown in Table 1-1.
Battery Temperature Sensors
Xantrex strongly recommends that you install a Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS)
to protect your battery and improve charging accuracy. It is best to use a separate
BTS with each individual battery bank, to provide optimal charging and protection
of each bank. If no BTS is connected, the charger defaults to the charging
conditions for 40 °C (104 °F). At this temperature the charging voltage is lower to
keep batteries from overcharging; charging will be slower and the batteries will be
slightly undercharged.
One BTS is provided with your BC Series, and additional battery temperature
sensors may be purchased separately.
