Open-Loop - Batt Setup > Charge

Gen Charge

Enable if charging from a generator is desired. ⁽¹⁾

Note: The Gen Input Breaker must be connected to the output of an AC generator for this work.

Grid Charge

Enable if charging from the grid is desired. ⁽²⁾

Note: The Grid Input Breaker must be connected to input from the grid for this to work.

StartV

Set the value to the desired battery voltage that will trigger battery charging. The absolute minimum is 48 V.

Start%

Unavailable (Grey) in an open-loop configuration.

A

Set to the same Amp value that was used for Max A Charge. ⁽³⁾

Float V

Set to 53.6 V

Absorption V

Set to 55.2 V ⁽⁴⁾

Equalization V

55.2 V ⁽⁵⁾

Gen Exercise Cycle Day & Cycle

Refer to Solar-Ark documentation.

Gen Force

⁽¹⁾ Left column options are for Gen Charge AutoStart values (Reference Sol-Ark documentation for more details on the generator AutoStart function.

⁽²⁾ Right Column options are for Grid Charge values.

⁽³⁾ If need be, this value is used to curtail the maximum current output of the charger.

⁽⁴⁾ Absorption will stop at 2% of the set capacity of the battery bank and move to the float value.

⁽⁵⁾ Lithium batteries MUST not be equalized. Using a value of 55.2 for Equalization V and zero for Hours ensures that the batteries will not be equalized.

The values and parameters used are for an operating temperature of 25 °C (77 °F).
