Adjusting
the
Voltage
Settings
of
the
Xantrex
C-­‐Series
Charge
Controller
WindyNation
has
NOT
set
the
bulk
and
float
voltage
trip
points
on
the
Xantrex
C-­‐Series
Charge
Controller.
The
reason
this
is
NOT
done
by
Windy
Nation
is
because
different
battery
types
(e.g.
automotive
batteries,
maintenance
free
batteries,
deep
cycle
batteries,
sealed
batteries,
etc.)
require
different
charging
/discharging
voltage
levels.
