Page 12: Faults And Alerts
NOTE: Each chemistry has default settings for the CHARGE values Faults and Alerts Faults and Alerts of CHARGE V and TAPER CURR. In certain circumstances these values may need to be changed when Charge Termination is not Alerts being reached. IN ALL OTHER CASES DO NOT CHANGE THESE VALUES. - Page 13 To set an alert, ensure you have the correct SmartShunt selected (the device Faults name shows on the top bar) and select ALERTS from the CONFIG menu. Faults are triggered when specific values have been passed that may have an impact on safety or the health of the battery. For example. draining a battery down to less than 5% SoC will trigger a fault, as it can adversely affect the life of a battery.
