EasySolar-II GX - Product Manual 3.1.11. External current transformer (option) External current transformer option to implement PowerControl and PowerAssist with external current sensing 3.1.12. Programmable analog/digital input/output ports (Aux in 1 and Aux in 2, see appendix) The product is equipped with 2 analog/digital input/output ports. -
Page 8: Li-Ion Batteries
EasySolar-II GX - Product Manual The Storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24 hours. In the Storage mode float voltage is reduced to 2,2V/cell (13,2V for 12V battery) to minimise gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to 'equalize' the battery. - Page 9 EasySolar-II GX - Product Manual 1. Certification and CEC approval for off-grid use does NOT imply approval for grid-interactive installations. Additional certification to IEC 62109.2 and AS 4777.2.2015 are required before grid-interactive systems can be implemented. Please check the Clean Energy Council website for current approvals.
