2.2.3The battery charger
The built-in battery charger is so designed that it can charge the battery quickly and fully. A micro- processor controlled, 3 to 4 Step charging process ensures the optimum charging of the batteries. The desired charging current can be set continuously from 0 to maximum, according with particular technical specification (chap.6). The battery charger is meant for the lead-acid and lead-gel batter- ies. Thanks to the floating charge system the battery can remain continuously connected.
2.2.4The solar charge controller (optional)
With the built-in solar charge controller, the XP-COMPACT is a complete solar-power-center. In a solar installation this controller ensures that the batteries are charged correctly. With the XP- COMPACT, batteries can be charged with a generator and with the solar modules at the same time. The charging of batteries with both energy sources is carried out fully automatically.
2.2.5Remote control
As an option, a remote control can be connected to XP-COMPACT. Extra display and program- ming possibilities are available on the remote control (see Chap.5). The remote control is supplied with a 20m long cable. This cable can go to 40m long. On the remote control output power and charging current are also monitored.
2.3Battery connections
Lead-acid batteries are normally available in blocks of 2V, 6V or 12V. In most cases, to generate the necessary operating voltage and the capacity of the batteries for the XP-COMPACT many bat- teries have to be connected together in parallel and or in series. Following three examples are shown:
2.3.1Connection in parallel
2.3.2Connection in serie
