Page 25: Current Threshold
Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) A charge efficiency of 95% means that 10Ah must be transferred to the battery to get 9.5Ah actually stored in the battery. The charge efficiency of a battery depends on battery type, age and usage. The battery monitor takes this phenomenon into account with the charge efficiency factor. -
Page 26: Battery Capacity And Peukert Exponent
Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) 10. Battery capacity and Peukert exponent Battery capacity is expressed in Amp hour (Ah) and indicates how much current a battery can supply over time. For example, if a 100Ah battery is being discharged with a constant current of 5A, the battery will be totally discharged in 20 hours. The rate at which a battery is being discharged is expressed as the C rating. - Page 27 Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) Calculation example using the 5h and the 20h rating The C5 rating is 75Ah. The t1 rating is 5h and I1 is calculated: The C20 rating is 100Ah. The t2 rating is 20h and I2 is calculated: The Peukert exponent is: A Peukert calculator is available at http://www.victronenergy.com/...

Page 30: Synchronisation Issues
Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) To fix this, fully charge the battery. Once the battery is close to a full charge, the battery monitor should synchronise automatically. If that doesn't work, review the synchronisation settings. 11.3.9. Synchronisation issues If the battery monitor does not synchronise automatically, one possibility could be that the battery never reaches a fully charged state. -
