Press BATTERY TYPE button and hold for 3 seconds to go into your battery type selection mode, the battery type you select will be shown on the LCD meter, the default setting is AGM Battery; the controller will automatically memorize your battery type setting. - Page 6 Soft Charge- When batteries suffer an over-discharge, the controller will softly ramp the battery voltage up to 10V. Bulk Charge-Maximum current charging until batteries rise to Absorption level Absorption Charge-Constant voltage charging and battery is over 85%. Equalization Charge*-Only for WET battery or Calcium battery type, when the battery is deeply drained below 10V, it will automatically run this stage to bring the internal cells as an equal state and fully complement the loss of capacity.

Questions and answers
zs-30 solar charger is not showing battery type after holding for 3 sec.it's showing volts and battery lights are green and red light is on. this is on 2020 navion w/ lithium batterys,and has 3 -100 watt panels on roof
The Zamp Solar ZS-30A charger may not be showing the battery type and is displaying green and red lights due to a fault or misconfiguration. Possible reasons include:
1. Unsupported Battery Type: Ensure the lithium batteries are LiFePO4, as only specific lithium chemistries like LiFePO4 are supported.
2. Fault Condition: The combination of green and red LEDs indicates an error or warning. Check for issues such as incorrect battery voltage, reverse polarity, or a short circuit.
3. Incorrect Settings or Connections: Verify that all wiring is correct, the battery is properly connected, and the battery type is set correctly on the controller.
4. Temperature Sensor or Display Issues: If optional sensors or displays are disconnected or malfunctioning, the controller may not show the battery type.
5. Battery Voltage Too Low or High: If the battery voltage is outside normal range (e.g., below 10V or above 15.5V), it may trigger a fault.
Check all connections, ensure the correct battery type is selected, and review the LED fault codes to determine the exact issue.
