3.2.4 Battery Type Menu
• BAT TYPE – This menu is used to select the battery type, which
determines the battery charge profi le and ensures the batteries are
receiving the proper charge voltage. The fi xed voltage options are: GEL
(for Gel batteries), Flooded (for liquid lead acid batteries), AGM 1 (for
Lifeline AGM batteries), and AGM 2 (for East Penn/Deka/Discover/Trojan
AGM batteries). Refer to Table 3-3 to determine the specifi c charge
voltage based on the battery type selected.
Default setting: BAT TYPE = Flooded
Info: The voltage settings shown in Table 3-3 are based on the
Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) being disconnected, or at a
temperature of 77° F (25° C). If the BTS is connected, the actual
charge voltage increases if the temperature around the BTS is colder
than 77° F (25° C), and decreases if hotter than 77° F (25° C). This
ensures the batteries receive the correct charge voltage even if they
become cold or hot.
