Charger
IMPORTANT:
Battery charger settings need to be correct for a given battery type. Always follow battery manufacturer
recommendations. Making incorrect settings, or leaving them at factory default settings, may cause the
batteries to be undercharged or overcharged.
The charge controller uses a “three-stage” battery charging cycle which utilizes multiple
settings. This menu controls the voltages and timers for the battery charger. See page 98 for
an explanation of the three-stage cycle and a description of the individual stages.

MPPT
The charge controller uses a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm which
manipulates the output of the PV array to harvest maximum wattage. Although this function is
automatic, this menu allows the user to adjust many of its parameters for special applications.
See pages 50, 51, and 102.
