  • Page 5: Introduction

    Besides o ering an accurate state of charge indication, the ePRO Plus will also help users how to get the best service life out of the battery bank. The service life of batteries will be negatively a ected by excessive deep discharging, under- or overcharging, excessive charge- or discharge currents and/or high temperatures.

  • Page 6: Epro Plus Highlights

    The ePRO Plus is compatible with lead based and Lithium (LiFePO4) based batteries. The ePRO Plus can monitor up to three battery banks. The inputs for battery bank 2 and 3 can also be con gured for other purposes, like mid-point voltage measurement, key switch input or back light control.
