  • Page 9 Please check your battery manufacturer’s specifications to select correct battery type. The unit provides 6 types of batteries for selection: LiFePO4, LTO, Gel, AGM, WET (conventional lead-acid), and Calcium battery. Press and hold the BATTERY TYPE BUTTON for 3 seconds to enter battery type selection mode.
  • Page 10 The LCD also can be treated as an independent voltage meter or thermometer. A voltage less than 11.5V indicates that the battery is discharged and needs re-charging.
  • Page 11 Absorption Charge- Constant voltage charging occurs when the battery reaches over 85% capacity. For lead-acid batteries, LiFePO4 batteries, and LTO batteries, full charging will complete after the absorption stage. The absorption voltage levels are 14.4V for LiFePO4 batteries and 14.0V for LTO batteries. Equalizing Charge*- Only for WET or Calcium battery type, when the battery is deeply drained below 10V or every 28 days cycle, it will automatically run this stage to bring the internal cells as an equal state and fully complement the...
