Automatic Equalization - Victron energy BlueSolar MPPT 150 Manual

3.7.1 Automatic equalization

Automatic equalization is default set to 'OFF'. By using the
configuration tool mpptprefs this setting can be configured with a
number between 1 (every day) and 250 (once every 250 days).
When automatic equalization is active, the absorption charge
will be followed by a voltage limited constant current period (see
table in section 3.5). The current is limited to 8% of the bulk
current for all VRLA (Gel or AGM) batteries and some flooded
batteries, and to 25% of the bulk current for all tubular plate
batteries and the user defined battery type. The bulk current is
the rated charger current unless a lower maximum current
setting has been chosen.
In case of all VRLA batteries and some flooded batteries
(algorithm number 0, 1, 2 or 3) automatic equalization ends
when the voltage limit maxV has been reached, or after
t = (absorption time)/8, whichever comes first.
For all tubular plate batteries and the user defined battery type
automatic equalization ends after t = (absorption time)/2.
When automatic equalisation is not completely finished within
one day, it will not resume the next day, the next equalisation
session will take place as determined by the day interval.
3.8 Connectivity
Several parameters can be customized (VE.Direct to USB
cable, ASS030530000, and a computer needed). See the data
communication white paper on our website.
The required software can be downloaded from
http://www.victronenergy.nl/support-and-downloads/software/
The charge controller can be connected the to a Color Control
panel, BPP000300100R, with a VE.Direct to VE.Direct cable.
