Adjusting the Battery Management to the Battery


Qualified person

You will find further information on battery management and the charging processes of the Sunny Island for lead-acid batteries in the technical information "Battery Management" at www.SMA-Solar.com.

The basic procedure for changing operating parameters is explained in another section Changing Operating Parameters).

Procedure:

  1. Select Battery > Charge.
  2. Set the parameter Maximum charging current to the maximum battery charging current recommended by the battery manufacturer.
  3. Set the parameters for boost charge.
    • Set the parameter Battery boost charge time to the boost charge absorption time recommended by the battery manufacturer.

    • Set the parameter Cell charge nominal voltage for boost charge to the cell voltage setpoint recommended by the battery manufacturer for boost charge.

  4. Set the parameters for full charge.
    • Set the parameter Battery full charge time to the full charge absorption time recommended by the battery manufacturer.

    • Set the parameter Cycle time full charge to the full charge cycle time recommended by the battery manufacturer.

    • Set the parameter Cell charge nominal voltage for full charging to the cell voltage setpoint recommended by the battery manufacturer for full charge.

  5. Set the parameters for equalization charge.
    • Set the parameter Battery equalization charge time to the equalization charge absorption time recommended by the battery manufacturer.

    • Set the parameter Cycle time equalization charge to the equalization charge cycle time recommended by the battery manufacturer.

    • Set the parameter Cell charge nominal voltage for equalization charge to the cell voltage setpoint recommended by the battery manufacturer for equalization charge.
