Battery Charger Functions
When AC power is available, the Conext SW can operate as a battery charger.
Different battery types and chemistries require different charging voltage levels.
Not charging batteries at the required levels can shorten battery life or damage
the batteries. The Conext SW is configured at the factory to work with the battery
types recommended for inverter applications. If the default settings do not work
for your specific installation, you can adjust the charge stage settings (as
recommended by the battery manufacturer) on the Custom (Battery) Settings
menu (see page 4–20).
Absorb
Time
Sets the maximum time spent in the absorption stage, before
transitioning to float or no float.
NOTE: The Absorb Time setting resets to its default value of 180
minutes when the Battery Type is changed except when changing
to Custom Settings. In Custom Settings, the Absorb Time setting
will not reset to its default value.
