Page 8: Maximum Power Boost Technologytm
® OPERATION 5.4 MAXIMUM POWER BOOST TECHNOLOGY™ Maximum Power Boost Technology™ (MPBT) allows you to override the normal charging algorithm of the solar controller. MPBT is designed to be used before the end of the day, if you know you will require many loads through the night. This feature can also be used when you have just installed the solar controller, to put batteries on a boost charge up to 14.4V (Flooded and AGM) or 14.1V (Sealed/Gel) right away. -

® FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q3. My voltmeter shows a different reading than the GP-PWM-10 display A. The meter value on the GP-PWM-10 display is an approximate reading intended for indication purposes only. There is an approximate 0.1 volt inherent error present that may be accentuated when compared with readings from another voltmeter. There may be a slight difference between the battery voltage displayed on the GP-PWM-10 display and the battery voltage measured at the battery terminals. - Page 14 4. Blown diode in solar 4.
