SET AMBIENT BATTERY TEMPERATURE
DEFAULT = 70 °F RANGE = 30–120 °F STEP = 10 °F
The Link 20 default ambient temperature setting is 70 °F. The ambient temperature
may be set in 10 °F increments. The setup procedure is the same as previously described.
The ambient temperature setting adjusts effective battery capacity lower when colder
and larger when warmer. Adjust the temperature to best reflect the battery temperature
during discharge. High temperatures are destructive to batteries. If your batteries are
regularly subjected to temperatures above 100 °F you should relocate them or supply
forced fresh air ventilation.
IMPORTANT!
Your Link 20 incorporates a precision volt meter. This may
be used to check that your charging sources are set to the
correct Accept and Float voltage values for your battery
temperature. Refer to the following table.
If your batteries are operating significantly (0.3 Volt)
different from the values below, you are likely undercharging or
overcharging. This will result in degraded performance of your
system and shortened battery life.
