Battery Charge Settings
Preset ProStar MPPT battery charging options are shown in
tables 4-1 and 4-2 below. All voltage settings listed are for
nominal 12 Volt batteries. Multiply the voltage settings by
two (2) for 24 Volt batteries.
NOTE: These settings are general guidelines for
use at the operator’s discretion. The ProStar MPPT can
be programmed to satisfy a wide range of charging parameters,
but only the battery manufacturer can recommend optimal
settings for their products.
