Battery Charge - TENTECH MTD 20KWe Manual De Uso

2.6. Battery charge

This equipment has an internal battery charger with a smart,
microprocessor-controlled circuit which adjusts the battery charge to the
optimized parameters to ensure the maximum service life. It is supplied
by an external source for 100-240 V∼ (supplied with the equipment) or by
a 12 V car battery.
In order to recharge the battery, connect the equipment to the mains
supply or to the external battery. After a few seconds, the BATTERY
CHARGER STATUS LED will flash during one second in green and red
alternately. During this period, the charger checks the battery initial
status, selecting in this way the charge optimized parameters. After this,
the BATTERY CHARGER STATUS LED will remain lit in red until the
charge is complete, then the LED will turn into green and will remain this
way until the equipment is disconnected from supply.
If, during the battery charge with 12 V car battery, the equipment is used
to perform measurements, the charge will be momentarily interrupted,
returning to the charge process once measurements are finished. In the
following table we summarised the meaning of the luminous indications of
the LED

Note: Under storage, the battery loses part of its charge. Thus, before using the
equipment for the first time, or after some time of being out of use, the battery must
be recharged. As the kind of rechargeable battery that this equipment uses does
not show the "memory effect" and due to the charger intelligent characteristics,
there are no restrictions to start charging it as many times as is needed. As soon
as the charger detects that the battery is completely charged, it will automatically
turn to the Float state (Green indication), protecting it from overcharging.
