F03 - SET AMBIENT BATTERY TEMPERATURE |
| |
DEFAULT = 70 °F | RANGE = | STEP = 10 °F |
The Link 20 default ambient temperature setting is 70 °F. The ambient temperature may be set in 10 °F increments. The setup procedure is the same as previously described.
The ambient temperature setting adjusts effective battery capacity lower when colder and larger when warmer. Adjust the temperature to best reflect the battery temperature during discharge. High temperatures are destructive to batteries. If your batteries are regularly subjected to temperatures above 100 °F you should relocate them or supply forced fresh air ventilation.
IMPORTANT!
Your Link 20 incorporates a precision volt meter. This may be used to check that your charging sources are set to the correct Accept and Float voltage values for your battery temperature. Refer to the following table.
If your batteries are operating significantly (0.3 Volt)
different from the values below, you are likely undercharging or overcharging. This will result in degraded performance of your system and shortened battery life.
