Tripp Lite Alternative Power Source owner manual Equalize Battery Charge DIP Switch #3, Group B

Configuration continued

• Equalize Battery Charge (DIP Switch #3, Group B)

This DIP Switch is momentarily engaged to begin the process of equalizing the internal resistance of your battery's cells. This can extend the useful life of certain types of batteries; consult with your battery's manufacturer to determine if your batteries could benefit from this process. The charge equalization process is automatic and once started can only be stopped by removing the input power.

Setting Procedure:

•Move to “Equalize” (DOWN) position for three seconds.

•Move to “Reset” (UP) position and leave it there.

CAUTION: Battery charge equalization should only be performed in strict accordance with the battery manufacturer’s instructions and specifications.

CAUTION: Do not leave DIP switch #3 in the down position after beginning process.

•Limit Battery Charger (APS1012, APS1524 & APS2012 only) (DIP Switch #4, Group B)

To prevent overheating smaller batteries, the charger on these UPS systems is initially set to deliver only a fraction of its maximum power rating to connected batteries. If you are using either of these APS systems with a larger battery or battery system (over 100 amp-hours), you may switch your charger to full power without overheating your batteries.
