Configure For Use As Dc Meter - Progress Solar/Wind SLT 700 Series Operator's Manual

Important warning
Lithium batteries are expensive and can be irreparably damaged due to very deep discharge or overcharge.
Damage due to deep discharge can occur if small loads slowly discharge the battery when the system is not in
use. Some examples of these loads are alarm systems, standby currents of DC loads and back current drain
of battery chargers or charge regulators.
A residual discharge current is especially dangerous if the system has been discharged all the way until a low
cell voltage shutdown has occurred. At this moment the state of charge can be as low as 1%. The lithium
battery will get damaged if any remaining current is drawn from the battery. This damage can be irreversible.
A residual current of 1mA for example can damage a 100Ah battery if the battery has been left in a discharged
state for more than 40 days (1mA x 24h x 40 days = 0.96Ah).
The battery monitor draws <12mA from the battery. The positive supply must therefore be interrupted if a
system with Li-ion batteries is left unattended during a period long enough for the battery monitor power
consumption to completely discharge the battery.
In case of any doubt about the possible residual current draw, isolate the battery by opening the battery
switch, by pulling the battery fuse(s) or by disconnecting the battery positive when the system is not in use.

4.7. Configure for use as DC meter

In the VictronConnect battery monitor settings, go to the "Misc" settings and select "DC energy meter" from the Monitor mode
drop-down menu. Once selected, you can choose what application the DC energy meter is used in.
Alternatively, navigate to setting 72 on the head unit.
