Morningstar Integration Guide

Load Current Compensation ……………………………… Default = 0.002 Ω (V/A), should be calculated

based on 0.35/C (Reduces Load LVD based on size of load with respect to battery Ah capacity)

Load HVD/High Voltage Disconnect/Reconnect............ Enable/14.30 V/13.80 V (May help to protect

loads from potentially harmful voltage spikes that can be caused by external charging sources continuing

to operate during battery removal)

Battery Charge LED Indications (Not intended for accurate SoC measurement):

LED G –> G/Y 75%+ = 13.30 V (3.325 V/per cell)

LED G/Y –> Y 50% - 74% = 13.0 V (3.25 V/per cell)

LED Y –> Y/R 25% - 49% = 12.8 V (3.2 V/per cell)

LED Y/R –> R 10% or below = 12.5 V (3.125 V/per cell)
