Spec. No. 588820300 Battery Rack System (Lithium Ion Battery Configuration)
When the ACU+ is equipped with the Lithium Ion Battery Configuration for use with Spec. No. 588820300
NetSure™ Battery Rack System, the battery management functions are as follows.
The configuration only provides the battery float charge voltage (equalize charging is not applicable).
The only adjustable battery setting (besides the float voltage level) is the ABCL (Active Battery
Charge Current Limit) Point.
Active Battery Charge Current Limit (ABCL): This feature controls the amount of charge current
supplied to the lithium-ion batteries installed in the power plant to prevent failure of the batteries.
Battery status and alarms sent by the batteries to the ACU+ are displayed in the ACU+ interfaces.
Refer also to the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer for battery management functions
built into the battery itself.
NOTE THAT THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTIONS ARE FOR THE GENERAL BATTERY
MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS AND DO NOT APPLY TO THE LITHIUM ION BATTERY
CONFIGURATION.
