Charging procedure<br />

The <strong>de</strong>vice has electronic polarity reversal protection, return<br />

current protection and solar short circuit protection. The<br />

charge current is only enabled if the the battery is correctly<br />

connected and sufficient sunlight power is available (see<br />

"charge diagram").<br />

Main charging phase<br />

Charging with the maximum available solar charging current<br />

until the final charging voltage is reached.<br />

Post-charging phase<br />

The post-charging phase is controlled <strong>de</strong>pending on the discharge<br />

<strong>de</strong>pth.<br />

Trickle charge phase<br />

The charge voltage is set to 13,7 V. The charge current is<br />

reduced to the level that is nee<strong>de</strong>d for the battery to compensate<br />

for self-discharging. The consumers continue to be<br />

supplied. If the consumed current exceeds the available solar<br />

charging current, the charge can no longer be maintained.<br />

If the battery voltage drops below 12.5 V the <strong>de</strong>vice automatically<br />

switches to the main charging phase (if enough solar<br />

charging current is available).<br />

Gassing control<br />

The charging end voltage is modified <strong>de</strong>pending on the discharge<br />

<strong>de</strong>pth. If a battery is operated for a long time without<br />

any gas <strong>de</strong>velopment, there is a risk of damaging acid stratification<br />

building up. This acid stratification can be remedied<br />

by means of limited, controlled gassing. This function is<br />

carried out by the gassing control. If the battery charge is<br />

low and the "gassing active" voltage has been un<strong>de</strong>rshot, the<br />

gassing control disables the overcharging protection until the<br />

so-called gassing end voltage has been reached. The gassing<br />

controller also increases the charge voltage in the event of<br />

strong cyclization, which makes better use of the battery capacity.<br />

This control is also temperature-<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt, and also<br />

suitable for gel batteries.<br />

Parallel operation<br />

If consumer current is removed during battery charging, it is<br />

taken from the available solar charge current. If the consumed<br />

current exceeds the available solar charging current, the<br />

<strong>de</strong>vice cannot charge the battery. The <strong>de</strong>vice automatically<br />

starts charging when enough solar charge current is available<br />

again.<br />
