7.5 Akumuliatoriaus įkrovimas Stages

The controller employs a three-stage battery charging algorithm: Bulk Charging, Constant Charging (Equalize and Boost), and Float Charging. This method extends battery lifespan.

1. Masinis įkrovimas: Baterijos ttage dar nepasiekė pastovaus ttage. The controller operates in constant current mode, delivering maximum current (MPPT Charging).
2. Nuolatinis įkrovimas: Kai akumuliatorius ttage pasiekia konstantą ttage set point, the controller switches to constant charging mode. MPPT charging stops, and the charging current gradually drops. This stage includes Equalize Charging (on the 28th of each month) and Boost Charging (default 2 hours).
3. Plūdinis įkrovimas: After constant charging, the controller reduces battery voltage į plūduriuojančio įkrovimo iš anksto nustatytą tūrįtage by reducing current. The battery is weakly charged to maintain a fully charged state. If load power exceeds solar array power, the controller will no longer maintain float charging. The system exits float charging and re-enters bulk charging if battery voltage drops below the boost voltage vėl prijungti ttage.

7.6 Įkrovimo režimai

The controller offers multiple load work modes. When the LCD shows the load type interface, operate as follows:

1. Paspauskite SELECT mygtuką, kad pereitumėte į apkrovos tipo sąsają.

4. Paspauskite patvirtinimo mygtuką ENTER.

8. Apsaugos

When the controller's internal temperature reaches 81°C, the charging power automatic reduction function is enabled. Temperature increases by 1°C, and the charging power is reduced by 5%, 10%, 20%, and 40%. If the internal temperature exceeds 85°C, the controller stops charging the battery. When the internal temperature is lower than or equal to 75°C, the controller resumes charging per the rated charging power.
