Battery Charging Reference
This section describes the multistage charging algorithm (formula) of the Freedom SW 3000.
Battery Types
Freedom SW 3000 charges flooded (or wet)
Flooded (or wet) batteries have removable battery caps for refilling with distilled water and testing the electrolyte.
Gel batteries have the electrolyte in the form of a gel rather than a liquid and do not require topping up. Gel batteries are sealed and the battery caps are not removable.
AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries are similar to gel batteries except that the electrolyte is absorbed into a fiberglass matting.
Custom Custom is configured by the dealer, factory, or service center for battery types other than those listed above.
RISK OF BATTERY DAMAGE
Since the Freedom SW 3000 can only select one battery type setting for all batteries connected to its bank, do not mix battery types. All connected batteries should either be: Flooded (or wet) or Gel or AGM or Custom.
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or damage other equipment.
