Page 25: Charging Profile
10 .4 Charging Profile Charge with a Lithium charge profile matching the specifications for the AES LiFePO battery. Standard open-loop charging for the battery should include both Bulk and Absorption phases. Refer to Table 3-1, AES LiFePO4 Electrical Specifications, for open-loop charging parameters. -
Page 26: Routine Inspection
If the charging source is a generator or other charge source that is not efficient at low output current, a single-stage charge may be appropriate. A single-stage charge will only complete the Bulk phase portion of the charge curve. This method should return the battery to 90-95% SOC. -
Page 27: Storage
Always ensure all the batteries in the battery bank are using the latest firmware. AES Dashboard PC software is required to update the battery firmware and to download data logs from the battery.
