BATTERY CAPACITY
Capacity : 500AH This is the capacity of the batteries in
[Set Parameters] rate. For example, a solar powered system will generally use the C/100 (100 hour rate), but a diesel recharge system may use a discharge rate of C/20 (20 hour rate). Your system designer will advise you on this figure. Use the UP or DOWN keys to set your battery capacity.
CHARGE IN BATTERY
