Recommended Steca charge controller settings for the
Aquion Aspen 48S battery
The following settings have been selected through co-operation
between Steca Elektronik and Aquion Energy. They represent
recommended example values for cyclical applications as are typical in
many solar PV applications. These settings are applicable to the Aquion
Aspen 48S battery.
Make sure to always follow the requirements and guidelines from
the battery manufacturer and verify the settings with the data
sheet of your batteries before applying them. Please contact your
retailer in case of uncertainty. Read the Steca charge controller
manual before applying these settings.
The Steca Tarom MPPT 6000-M closely matches Aquion Energy's "Two-stage (Bulk &
Absorption)" charging method, which is the preferred charging method for the Aspen 48S
battery (consult Aquion Energy's "Aspen Battery Installation & Operation Manual" for more
details). The Tarom MPPT 6000-M is therefore the preferred solar charge controller for this
battery type with the following settings:
