• The current during both discharge and charge will be split according to the capacity or age of the batteries respectively. 3.4 Cells in Series Strings • Discover® Tubular Gel cells may be connected in series to increase system voltage. • In the case of each series connected string, only use batteries of the same voltage, capacity, design and age. -
Page 6: Commissioning Charge
The initial charge is very important for the future battery operation and the battery’s service life. It is performed as a “Commissioning Charge” as listed in paragraph 4.2.1. Keep records in the battery’s logbook. Discover Commissioning Logs are online available at discoverbattery.com/en/resources/... -

current has dropped to this value during absorption phase and limit the voltage to 2.65V per Cell. The balance phase should last max 1-4 hours. The battery should be considered fully charged when the individual cell voltages have not risen for a period of 1 hours or the inverter/charger adjust to float voltage. Voltage limit: 2.35 V/Cell at 20°C/(68°F) Bulk/Absorption Constant current limit: 20A per 100Ah C10 rating... -

Should faults be detected in the battery or the charging device, contact your servicing dealer immediately. Keeping records of all measured data will simplify fault detection and corrective action. A service contract with your servicing Discover® dealer will help to detect faults in time. -
Page 11: Definitions & Abbreviations
11. Definitions and Abbreviations • Ampacity: The allowable current-carrying capacity of a conductor measured in amps. Ampacity is the current, in Amperes, that a conductor can carry continuously under the conditions of use without exceeding its temperature rating. • Battery Capacity: The power a battery can deliver from full charge at standard temperature, and at a specified (usually C10) discharge rate.
