POSITIVE (+) terminal, a spark may occur as a result of current flowing to charge
capacitors within the turbine. This is a normal occurrence. Because of the possibility of
this sparking,
away from any possible source of inflammable fumes and/or gases.
3. The charger is equipped with an auto brake function. However, we still suggest that the
user turn on the manual brake in extreme weather conditions.
4. Check the battery health periodically. If the voltage of the battery is lower than 9V. The
smart charger will not work and the turbine will automatically lock.
Important Safety Measures
• For the most effective use, place the MPPT Controller on a flat surface.
• Keep the MPPT charge controller dry.
• Do not allow it to come into contact with rain or moisture.
Battery Temperature Compensation Voltage Set points:
The temperature of a battery has an impact on the charging process -- in higher ambient
temperature conditions, the charger regulation set points (absorb & float) need to be reduced to
prevent overcharging of the batteries. However, in lower ambient temperature conditions the
charger regulation set points need to be increased to ensure complete recharging of the
batteries. The default charger settings of the MPPT are based on typical sealed lead acid battery
systems. To change these setting simply follow the menu instructions below. Always ensure that
the absorb & float voltages are set to the manufacturer's recommended battery charging
regulation set point voltages.
Suggested Battery Charger Set points:
The battery manufacturer should provide you with specific instructions on the following
maintenance and charging regulation set point limits for the specific batteries. The following
information can be used when the manufacturer's information is not available. Note: Higher
settings can be used with non-sealed batteries, but water consumption will be greater and
excessive temperatures when charging may occur.
Sealed Lead Acid – AGM / GEL 12V 24V 48V
ABSORB voltage set point 14.3v 28.6v 57.2v
FLOAT voltage set point 13.6v 27.2v 54.4v
Non-Sealed Lead Acid 24V 24V 48V
ABSORB voltage set point 14.8v 29.6v 59.2v
FLOAT voltage set point 13.6v 27.2v 54.4v
Multi –Stage Battery Charging:
The MPPT charge controller is a sophisticated multi-stage battery charger that uses several
regulation stages to allow fast recharging of the battery system while ensuring a long battery life.
This process can be used with both sealed and non-sealed batteries. The MPPT will
automatically set the charging regulation voltage set points (absorb & float) for the selected
nominal battery voltage, however, always follow the battery manufacturer's recommended
it is critical that both the turbine and the 12 / 24 volt battery be placed well
