Setting Charger Current Limit

The SNTL150P maximum output current can be
limited to a value as set within the Current Limit field
in Global Charger Settings.

Note: If battery voltage is below minimum charger
output voltage (typically 10V on a 12V unit and 20V on
24V unit) then the SNTL150P will be limited by
demands from battery and hardware current limit
control (5A)

Boost Drop Out Current

The alarm output can be set to hold off fault reporting
for up to a maximum of 240 seconds (4 mins).

Boost Drop Out Current

The SNTL150P will terminate its Boost cycle if the
output current has dropped below a preset level. This
prevents needless battery gassing and temperature
rise, once the battery is fully charged.

Configurable Boost Drop-Out Current between 0 and
5amps to a 0.1A resolution, the option to disable this
feature can be done by ticking the checkbox marked
“Disable Boost Drop Out On Current”

Auto-Boost Period

The SNTL150P employs a configurable option to allow
an auto-boost cycle to occur without the need to
manually engage it. Should the charger not have
recorded a boost cycle happening within a given
period, it exercises the batteries, elevating their
terminal voltage, recombining the partly separated
water and strong sulphuric acid within the cells,
preventing build up on the battery plates and
maintaining battery life and performance
