CHARGER SETUP
This screen allows changes to the MX60’s recharging voltage set points (Current Limit,
Absorb, Float):
• The presently selected numerical value will have an asterisk “ * ” to the left of it.
• Pressing selects the value to be changed.
• You may need to re-enter the password to change these settings.
• The default charger output current limit setting is 60 amps and is adjustable up to 70 amps. At 70
amps, a 70A or 80A breaker must be used between the battery and the MX60.
• Change ABSORB and FLOAT set points using this screen if the battery manufacturer’s
recommendations are di erent than the default values. Otherwise, see page 80 for suggested
recharging voltage set points.
• If a battery remote temperature sensor (RTS) is used, its compensated voltage values can be viewed
in the MISCELLANEOUS (Misc) screen under the Tmp Comp heading.
NOTE: If an RTS is used, set the ABSORB and FLOAT setting
voltage based on a 25°C / 77°F setting. These are typically
the manufacturer’s set points (always consult the battery
manufacturer’s recommendations). If an RTS is not in use,
please see the Non-Battery Temperature Compensated
System values (page 86) and adjust the ABSORB/FLOAT
values accordingly.
