Setting a Custom Battery Type
The Custom Settings menu item allows you to adjust charging and
equalization voltage for batteries whose specifications fall outside of the default
settings for the battery types that the charge controller offers.
You can also adjust the temperature compensation constant for the BTS from the
Custom Settings menu item.
The following table describes the available custom battery settings. To access
the menu, go to Advanced Settings > Charger Settings > Custom Settings.
See “Default Battery Charging Settings” on page A–5 for default settings for
standard battery types.
NOTICE
• Setting the battery type to Custom is possible only when the Advanced
Settings menu item is displayed.
•The Custom Battery menu is displayed only when the battery type is set
to Custom.
• All settings for configuring a custom battery type are based on the default
settings for a flooded battery type.
