BATTEry CHArgINg INSTruCTIONS

Keeping your battery bank energized is very important. Although a battery bank can last for many
years if properly cared for, it can also be ruined in a short period of time if neglected.

Battery Charging Setpoints

To preserve your batteries always follow your battery manufacturer’s recommendations using the
following information:

• Absorb Voltage
• Float Voltage
• Equalize Voltage
• Recommended Depth of Discharge (DOD) of the batteries

These Absorb, Float, and Equalize voltage set points should be programmed into the FX through the
MATE (see MATE User Manual).
