Page 5: Product Description
User manual MPPT Solar charge controller PowerXtreme XS20s 1. Product description 1.1 Product information The MPPT Solar charge controller is a fully automatic battery charger that converts the energy, generated by the Solar panel, into a regulated battery voltage. MPPT stands for Maximum Power Point Tracking. Using this technology, the charger continuously searches for the maximum deliverable capacity or the Solar panel. -
Page 6: Introduction To Maximal Power Point Tracking (Mppt) Technology
User manual MPPT Solar charge controller PowerXtreme XS20s This is to prevent the charger from getting damaged by overheating. During the charging of lead batteries, in can of a temperature ▪ increase, the charger will automatically reduce the charging voltage to lengthen the life span of the battery. - Page 7 User manual MPPT Solar charge controller PowerXtreme XS20s Image 1. Typical output curve solar panel As a consequence of the changing ambient temperature and light intensity, the maximum power point will vary significantly. Our MPPT- charger will adjust the parameter settings, based on the conditions so that the system will always function close to the max.

Page 9: Introduction Of Charging Phases
User manual MPPT Solar charge controller PowerXtreme XS20s 1.4 Introduction of charging phases The MPPT charger makes use of a 3-step charging curve for the charging of the battery. A full charging process includes: A] consistent current charging, B] consistent voltage charging, C] floating charging. - Page 10 User manual MPPT Solar charge controller PowerXtreme XS20s B] consistent voltage (CV) charging During this phase in the charging process no MPPT charging is used. During this phase the charging current will gradually reduce. The consistent voltage charging consists of two sub-phases, i.e. equalizing charging and boost charging.
- Page 11 User manual MPPT Solar charge controller PowerXtreme XS20s CAUTION! Overcharging, or situations where too much gas is being generated, may cause damage to the battery. Equalizing charging up to an excessively high level or during too long a period of time may cause damage.
- Page 12 User manual MPPT Solar charge controller PowerXtreme XS20s more capacity than the solar panel is able to generate, the charger will not be able to keep the battery voltage at the floating charging level. When the battery voltage reaches a value below the set value for CC charging, the system will cease the floating charging and start the CC charging again.
