Battery Indicators
The
B
ATTERY
LED indicators show the approximate battery state. (See
IMPORTANT
below.)

A green indicator (
F
ULL
) means the batteries have an adequate charge at that time. It does not always mean
the
y are full. It may be accompanied by a yellow
S
TATUS
indicator when an AC source is charging.

A yellow indicator (
OK
) means the batteries are somewhat discharged.

A red indicator (
L
OW
) means the batteries are greatly discharged and may require attention. It may be
accompanied by a red
S
TATUS
indicator to indicate a low battery error.

The
B
ATTERY
indicators and the
I
NVERTER
S
TATUS
indicators are independent. They may accompany each other
dep
ending on conditions. Common combinations are noted above and on page 12.
Table 1 Battery Indicator Values
Color 12 Vdc Unit 24 Vdc Unit, ± 0.2 Vdc 48 Vdc Unit, ± 0.4 Vdc Battery Status
GREEN 12.5 Vdc or higher 25.0 Vdc or higher 50.0 Vdc or higher ACCEPTABLE
YELLOW 11.5 to 12.4 Vdc 23.0 to 24.8 Vdc 46.0 to 49.6 Vdc MARGINAL
RED 11.4 Vdc or lower 22.8 Vdc or lower 45.6 Vdc or lower LOW
NOTES:
 Gaps in the table (higher-voltage units) are due to the resolution of the inverter’s DC meter.
 These voltage settings are not the same as the Low Battery Cut-Out (LBCO) set point. (See page 22
.)
The B
ATTERY indicator settings cannot be changed.

Voltages higher than shown in the Green row usually show that the batteries are charging
.
IMPORT
ANT:
Due to different system states, battery voltage does not always indicate an accurate state of charge. It is
accurate if batteries have been at rest for several hours at room temperature (25°C or 77°F, or as specified by
the battery manufacturer). If they have
any
loads, a charging source, or are at another temperature, their
voltage may not reflect their true state. The OutBack FLEXnet DC is a battery monitor that can be added to
the system to provide accurate measurements.
