Configuring Charge Current for
Battery Size
The Auto Charge is designed to work with a minimum battery
bank size. Each bank should meet the minimum Ah rating shown
in Table 3. These minimum values are based on twice the
charger's rated maximum charging current.
The Auto Charge features an adjustable charger current between
5 to 60A (see Changing the Charge Current on page 43).
Remember to always adjust the charger current based on the
battery size to ensure a proper charging of the battery. For
example, a 20-amp charger will charge a minimum 40 Ah battery.
If you are considering new batteries, please consult the battery's
manufacturer for their recommendation based on the maximum
charging current of your charger.
NOTE: If the battery manufacturer has specified the
maximum charge current, please follow their
recommendation.
