    Solar Module the least amount of battery water consumption. HELIOTROPE RV-45D Manufactured by Heliotrope PV Eugene, OR 2) Selectable State-of-Charge Set from 13.2 VDC to 14.6VDC in 0.2 volt increments. 3) Selectable “Auto-Equalize”, “Auto-Float” or “Fixed” “Equalize” for Flooded Lead-Acid Batteries, “Float”...
  • Page 3 It is literally two charge controllers in one, and as such, the RV-45D allocates the charge to both the house and the en- gine batteries. The “Engine” battery charging circuit is limited to 3 amps with a state-of-charge voltage fixed at 13.4 VDC.
  • Page 5: Automatic Equalization

    As the sun rises, (and the solar panels reach a voltage the off position. This locks the SOC voltage setpoint to wherever that is slightly higher than the battery voltage), the RV-45D will you set it . deliver all available charging amperage to the batteries. The...

    The battery voltage will rise under this influence until it approaches whatever SOC voltage setpoint you have selected. At this point, the RV-45D will enter its Pulse Width Modulation “Taper” charge and deliver whatever charging amperage the battery requires to maintain the selected SOC voltage setpoint.
