charge. If the generator is the only charging source, Stop Absorption will leave the batteries consistently undercharged and may shorten the battery

	life. Alternately, Stop Absorption can be useful during utility outages,
	when it is desired to keep the generator run time to a minimum, but are
	expecting a full recharge once the power is restored.
	For more information on battery charging, see XW Inverter/Charger
	Operator’s Guide.
Stop V
Full name	Stopping Battery Voltage
Purpose	The “Stop V” trigger enables the XW Auto Generator Start to stop the
	generator whenever the battery voltage reaches a pre-set DC voltage.
	Whenever the generator starts automatically based on the Starting Battery
	Voltage, it will shut off once the Stopping Battery Voltage has been
	reached.
Dependencies	The “Stop V” trigger requires the XW Auto Generator Start to be in
	Automatic mode and needs a parameter to be set for one of the Start DCV
	triggers.
	Values		Default
	Values		Default

	Disabled, 14.0 V to 60.0 V		Disabled
	(increments of 0.1 V)

Considerations	The “Stop V” setting is most useful when you want the inverter/charger to
	give the batteries a quick, basic charge. If using this mode, it is

recommended to run a complete charge or equalize cycle once in a while to restore the battery. To give the batteries a more complete, consistent charge, use the “Stop Float” setting. This will result in longer generator run times.

If “Stop V” is set too high, the generator may run for too long.

If “Stop V” is set too low, the XW Auto Generator Start will stop the generator before the inverter/charger has charged the batteries.

If “Stop Float” or “Stop Absorb” have been enabled, the XW Auto Generator Start will stop the generator if the Float or Absorption stages of the battery charging have begun.

Actual battery voltage can be monitored from the XW System Home screen on the XW System Control Panel.

For more information on battery charging, see the XW Inverter/Charger Operator’s Guide.
