Battery Charger Functions
When AC power is available, the Conext XW+ can operate as a battery charger.
Different battery types and chemistries require different charging voltage levels.
Not charging batteries at the required levels can shorten battery life or damage
the batteries. The Conext XW+ is configured at the factory to work with the
battery types recommended for inverter applications. If the default settings do
not work for your specific installation, you can adjust the charge stage settings
(as recommended by the battery manufacturer) on the Custom Battery
Settings menu (see page 3–21).
Multi-Stage Charging Process
The charging cycle is a multi-stage process. Whenever qualified AC power is
present at the AC1 or AC2 input, power runs through to the connected load and
begins charging the batteries in parallel.
Chg Block
Stop
Sets the time that charging on AC1 can resume. At the Chg Block Stop time, charging
on AC1 is enabled again.
