System configuration • In order to guarantee the optimal functionality of the DUSH, it is essential to configure the system parameters through one of the following methods: PowerCMC, Modbus, or directly on the device. Otherwise, the DUSH may enter an error state. Firmware update To guarantee the safe and seamless operation of the DUSH, it is imperative to utilise the most recent version of both the PowerCMC remote HMI software and the DUSH firmware.

Deep discharge To ensure the service life and safety of the battery, deep discharges should be avoided. A deep discharge occurs when the voltage falls below a certain value. The deep discharge voltage is specified by the battery manufacturer. The consequences of a deep discharge can permanently damage the battery depending on the battery type and usage.
Page 50
Battery temperature compensation The chemistry in lead-acid batteries causes energy to flow more easily in warm temperatures and less easily in cold temperatures. This affects how much energy a battery can absorb during the recharge process. Most charger voltage setpoints are set for room temperature 25°C (77°F). If that setpoint is not adjusted for temperature, the battery might get overcharged and gas when it’s too warm, or undercharge and sulfate when it’s too cold.
